SORBAcsra jersey - 2nd order

[dsquaredmsquared]

If you missed the opportunity to order the new SORBAcsra jersey, or are having second thoughts after you've seen how cool they look, now is your last chance to get one before the end of the year. Here is the artist’s rendering of the jersey design and these are images of the actual jersey (front and back).

Each jersey is a $60 donation (pick up) or $65 if you want us to mail it to you. For every jersey ordered, Primal will donate $10 back to SORBAcsra and $1 to IMBA; a pretty sweet deal for everyone. This is a link to the jersey ordering page.

The jersey ordering page will be active until 5:00PM Friday, October 19th. However, if we do not get a minimum of 15 men's jerseys by October 19th, we will keep the ordering page active until we reach the minimum order (of course, this will delay their delivery).

Unfortunately, we had a difficult time reaching the minimum for the women's style jerseys during the first order, so we suggest that you choose a men's size and send us an email indicating that you would prefer a women's jersey and the size. If we receive enough interest for the minimum of 15 women's jerseys (i.e., emails corresponding to a placed order), we will contact you by email so that you may change your men’s style to a women’s style jersey. If there is not enough interest to place the minimum order of women's jerseys, you will receive the men's sized jersey that you ordered originally.

If you have questions or need more information, please send an email to [e-mail] .

Wow! Two Four men's jerseys already ordered. ;D

With all the $$$ SORBA-CSRA made off the first order, how about using some of it to order some jerseys to keep on hand and sell if/when someone wants them, so we don't have to do this big orders as the only way to get them?

Thinking out loud here....

Ordered mine though!

Easier said than done. How many different sizes do we buy (7 different sizes are available and with the last men's order we had at least one of every size from Medium->3X)? How many of each size (we have to buy at least 15 total)? Women's too? If we don't order a particular size (Men's XS or Women's XS), or not enough of your size, how long will you have to wait until there is another group order?

If this was a (more) consumable product it might be easier to justify stocking jerseys. If we do another design (any volunteers?) next year, hopefully everyone will like the new design as well, which means it will be harder to offload any extra stock of this design.

Maybe there is a better solution than group orders, but I don't know it.

edit:
p.s. Although you would think we made a lot of money off the first order of jerseys, once you deduct PayPal fees and postage, we couldn't even buy 9 jerseys.

So far, seven jerseys ordered for the second printing.

We need 8 more men's jerseys ordered by 5PM on Friday, October 19th.

Thank you for your support.

We picked up our SORBACSRA jerseys today at FATS.The pictures you see do not do them justice,they absolutely are AWESOME.

[dsquaredmsquared]

We're thrilled that you, and everyone else, like the jerseys. ;D

If anyone missed their chance on the first order, we are now taking orders for a second run of jerseys. The deadline to order a jersey is 5:00PM, Friday October 19th and the goal is to try to get them to you before the holidays.

We need a minimum of men's 15 jerseys for a second printing and have 8 jerseys ordered so far. Don't delay and order your jersey here.

If we don't reach the minimum of 15 jerseys by Friday, we will keep the ordering page open. However, this means that the jerseys may not arrive before the holidays.

Thank you for your support.

I think I posted the first order on a few mtbr.com subforums, but don't remember if I did the same for sorba.com.

You're welcome to post the link, a description (or a testimonial?) and drum up more orders for SORBAcsra.

We have 11 jerseys ordered for the second printing. Possibly one more in the works. We still need 3 or 4 more jersey orders to reach the minimum.

Thank you for your support.

[dsquaredmsquared]

Okey dokey, we now have orders for 15 men's style jerseys. ;D

Since this will be the second printing, I don't know when, or if, we would do a third run.

If you would like a SORBAcsra jersey, please order before 5:00PM, Friday October 19th (tomorrow).

Primal says that the lead time on jerseys is ~8 weeks, so the goal is to have them in your hands before the holidays.

Thank you for your support.

Yay! Love mine and just got one for the hubby. Thanks!!

[dsquaredmsquared]

Remember that today at 5:00PM is the deadline to make a donation for your SORBAcsra jersey. We don't know if, or when, there will be a third printing.

We appreciate your support!

We have stopped taking donations for the second printing of SORBAcsra jerseys and will place the group order with Primal within the hour. The goal is to get these jerseys into your hands before the holidays.

This time around, we had donations for 26 jerseys.

Including 74 jerseys from the first printing, we received donations for a total of 100 SORBAcsra jerseys!!!

Thank you for your support.

I was just contacted by Primal and the jerseys should arrive by Tuesday December 11th, if not sooner.

If you paid extra for shipping, your jersey will be sent by USPS, within a day or two of their arrival. For local pickup, I expect that the monthly meeting (December 11th) may be the first opportunity to get your jersey.

Stay tuned to the forums for updated information.

Thank you for supporting SORBAcsra.

If you ordered a jersey for the 2nd printing (i.e., beginning of October) and paid extra for shipping, you should have received your jersey by USPS.

If you were unable to make one of the two pick-up opportunities we had last week, you can still pick up your jersey at the SORBAcsra monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 11th @nacho Mamas. I will be upstairs at 6:45PM to distribute jerseys before the meeting.
