Yellow Army shop

[Luke]

Hey everyone,
For those that don't have Facebook or don't go on there much I thought I'd post this here.
Today Yellow Army launched an online shop,something that's been long in the works.We wanted to offer a more casual range and something a little different from your standard merchandise.Tees,hoodies and singlets at the moment with the hope of some more things in the future.
100% of the money goes back into bay 16 or whatever we think is needed to make match day better.TIFOs,flags etc.We are hoping to get involved with some charities later on in the season as well.
So take a look,any feedback is welcome and there are bound to be some teething issues (hopefully not) so we will sort them as quick as possible.
Cheers.

Bright blue text on black? Come on now kids, you can do better than that!

Just checked,wasn't like that before! The text was mostly yellow with blue here and there.We had an issue with yellow text in white boxes so we had to try and change it.
Like I said....teething
Should have it sorted by the end of the day.

Graphic design 101

Plenty of tips on best web colour palettes if you look: Eg. http://blog.crazyegg.com/2012/07/11/website-color-palettes/

Also, it's a bit of a fib to say 100% money goes back to Bay16. If I've got it right you'll be paying $348pa + 2% transaction fee to Shopify. Then you have to add Paypal's $0.30 + 2.4% per transaction.

Does Shopify make and ship the products from USA like CafePress? Or are they made locally and shipped with Australia Post or other Aussie delivery service? Do you pay extra for this, or is it included in the Shopify cost?

An alternative way to build you site:

Wordpress (Free)
WooCommerce plugin (Free)
Australia Post plugin ($79 one off fee)
Hosting (Free if you know someone )
Jetpack Social Media plugin (Free)
Paypal $0.30 + 2.4% per transaction (No way around this)

Great initiative though. I hope it goes really well for you!

We are football fans first,graphic designers and website runners a distant second
We pay a fee to shopify for running the site.If you buy a $25 tee we obviously don't get all of it.100% of the money WE make goes back to the bay etc.
All done locally from Sydney.It's handy that the guy is a graphic designer by trade as well.
We can play around with postage prices etc.The $2.50 postage for tees is included in the $25.Jumpers being more bulky are $10 but we can arrange pickup locally to save people some money.Although most people prefer to just have it posted because it's easier.

Don't mind the circle design singlet but would prefer yellow as the background colour with blue symbol.
Same could be for the T-Shirt design

Also in summer dark colours attract the sun so I prefer a yellow base.

I know it's new & you will see how they go & might be able to add variety later but that is my constructive criticism.

 

[dibo]

Less criticism than feedback.

I`ve asked before on behalf of the MRS....Ladies singlet tops, boob tubes (for ladies) & Bikini tops.

Personally, I think with our beach culture, the ladies would really brighten up the ground with these items.

 

[Wombat]

Lol.....I'm surprised you forgot to ask for a yellow g-string.

 

[Wombat]

I'd probably buy one of the hoodies and one of the singlets (which needs to be changed to yellow and navy and not navy and yellow).

 

[true believer]

you need sizes to .

 

[Luke]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
We are definitely going to look into yellow base with navy or vice versa.Finding the right yellow can be a pain sometimes.
Everything on there can be purchased in womens sizing and there is a sizing chart on the site,although in some cases the chart comes up as text which is fine but sometimes it's a really tiny picture which is hard to read.Still chasing it up.

I had to leave some room for others,so thanks for the great idea!!!!

What about your g-string?

[Wombat]

That`s really too much information......

It's not true....lol......like to keep things warm and cozy.
