KickStarter - Pony Hockey Jerseys!
11 years ago
See you at Anthro New England! Fur the 'More! Anime Boston! AnthroCon! FurryDelphia! NekoCon AND FursonaCon!
¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨AGAIN!¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨ About once a year or so, The Mate has an IDEA. (oooh, aaaah!)
This year, it was a really GOOD idea. We decided to Do It. The Idea, I mean. That thing.
See, I *love* ponies. Ridiculously so. I have ever since it was called My Pretty Pony, and only came in brown.
He's more of a sports dork. Basketball, baseball, football, and... yeah. Hockey. *brr!*
Somehow, we manage to cohabitate. Music and anime and comic books help - BUT! This? This Idea? This is why I love him.
Pony-inspired parody hockey jerseys. The show uses a few clever, pun-ny location names. (We're near Fillydelphia, for example.) - And it's easy enough to come up with other silly, like-themed names. Baltimare. Vanhoofer. Manehattan.
And it got sillier from there, coming up with the names of hockey players, like Mane Gretzki and Bobtail Orr.
We kinda HAD to do it.
We sought out a place that makes custom jerseys, and he threw some shapes and colors together. Some of those jerseys look pretty damned good.
But... they're EXPENSIVE. Go to your local sporting goods store and take a look - some jerseys can sell for $200 or more, for popular players!
Tee shirts are cheaper, and everybody loves tee shirts, right?
I've been etching glass for fourteen years now, so we're also offering Pints and Shots.
And of course, we're doing stickers, because YAY STICKERS.
Now, we aren't about to go using exact Hasbro characters. That's a big No No, and we've already got some great themey ideas, without doing so.
Last weekend, we launched our very first KickStarter, and the first of the jersey designs.

If we can make $5,000, the Cloudsdale Thunder jerseys could become a reality.
If we can make $7,500, we can also make the Baltimare Nightmares jersey.
Dragoneer was a sweetie, and got my ad up in a hurry here on FA, too.
We're already $1,800 in, out of the minimum $5,000 we need.
We also WANT YOUR HELP in naming MORE CITIES, and MORE PLAYERS.
PLUS!! If you want to pick up your jerseys in person at Any Of These Fine Conventions HERE, because you're saving us the trouble of shipping it out, we'll throw in a free gift for you. LUCKY YOU!
What do I want from YOU? Well, we'd love to have more backers, of course, but... Better than backers? A signal boost. A repost. A Tweet, Tumbl, reblogging to FB, DA, FA, LJ, Pinterest.. Whatever you use, where ever you pony pony the pony. Don't like ponies? Do you have a friend who does? TELL A FRIEND! Please and Thank You!
