Club clothing design contest winner

Hi everyone,

We would like to thank those who sent in their votes and for the 4 members who entered this contest. We have counted all votes and here are the winners for this year's club clothing design contest:

T-shirt contest: Tara Stieglitz
Hoody contest: Tara Stieglitz

Congratulations to Tara on winning both contests!




We will be taking in club clothing orders shortly but here is some brief information on what we'll be ordering this year.

We will be ordering men's and women's t-shirts. Tara's design will be screenprinted on the front chest area. For those who would like to order club t-shirts, they will come in a number of different colours and sizes to choose from.

For the hoodies, we will be ordering both zip hoodies and kangaroo hoodies. The front upper left area will have our official club crest. On the back side, you will have 3 order options to choose from -- #1 option is having the contest design; #2 option is having the words "FENCING" written on the back; and #3 option is having nothing printed on the back. The UBC Fencing Club crest on the front is mandatory though, it will not be changed for something else.

For sweat pants, we will probably be ordering ones with pockets. The front left leg (upper area) will have our official club crest. On the butt area, you will have 3 options to choose from -- #1 option is to have the words "TOUCHÉ" written on; and #2 option is to have "FENCING" written on; and #3 option is to have nothing written on the back.

How much will the club clothing cost? That all depends on how many orders we get in. Based on last year's club clothing costs, hoodies ranged from about $29-35 including taxes, depending on what you wanted printed on the back (club design versus something different like "FENCING"). Sweat pants ranged from $31-35, depending on whether you want something printed on the butt area or not. We think this year's clothing prices will be somewhat similar to last year's prices. As for the t-shirts, the unisex t-shirts were $19, and the women's t-shirts were $20 (including taxes).

We will have a more exact price on each type of clothing available soon. Clothing brand, sizes and colours will also be announced soon. If you have any questions regarding club clothing and ordering, feel free to contact us.
