Hey all.

I've got a thread up over at the NYCFC Supporters Club Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYCFCsupporters/permalink/654359688001661/?qa_ref=qd) and wanted to get your input over here, too.
So, I was interested in ordering a custom 3'X5' or 4'X6' flag with the colors of NYC (blue/ white/ orange, left to right) and have the NYCFC emblem in the middle where the NYC seal would be.
Now, I've got a few variations to how this looks (and I'm obviously open to suggestions since it isn't just me ordering this thing).
As of right now, we've got about 60 people showing interest in buying and the price point is at around $22 for a single-sided 3'X5' or $27 for a single-sided 4'X6'.

Since this is a one-man operation (I'm undertaking this thing), there will obviously be shipping charges associated with this. Anybody wanna help?
The shipping will come in at two-charges. First to ship to a central distribution point (either to me or a local bar or facility). Second, from the central distribution to each purchaser's home. Realistically, this shouldn't get higher than $50- total. I think it would make most sense to set up a payment system through PayPal. It's super easy for me to track that way.

I've created a poll here below. Please only answer if you are serious about purchasing as I am actively getting quotes from various suppliers and need to gauge the cost for different quantities.

Here are the choices we have so far
OPTION 1:

Why not have a collection via PayPal, say for a month and see how much we can raise to get the biggest one? Maybe have NYCFC forum on it? MLS is on tv all over Europe, raise awareness of this site too! I'll get my hand in my pocket, who's in?
 
Why is this one sided and not two sided?
double-sided are pretty damn expensive. they require 3 layers of fabric. 1 for each face and 1 in the middle to act as a barrier so the other side doesn't show through, so these are also heavier.

Also, in an effort to minimize extra and unnecessary delays, we should reduce the number of options.
the original vision was to have the ORIGINAL NYC colors as the backdrop.
 
we arent making these for a profit. were just a bunch of fans getting together to create a custom flag.
wouldnt there be a copyright issue for using the logo on a tifo banner if that were the case?
please, elaborate. i dont want to get caught in some litigation by accident

You really ought to clear that with the club first.

Whether or not you are profiting does not matter -- I'm actually surprised that a printer would make those for you without club permission, and there's really no reason at all the club should give you permission to do it.

Think about it this way: would they let you print and distribute jerseys?
 
You should't make any alterations to the NYC flag just to incorporate the NYCFC badge. I vote for option #2. The sky blue and regular blue kind clashes on #1.

FredMertz FredMertz is right. Doesn't matter if you're not profiting. Also surprised that you found a printer who would produce them for you with the logo.
 
Voted #5 and will definitely purchase a flag if we move forward with this!
 
To be honest I'm voting for #5 and if you're trying to get them printed try out www.the-flag-makers.com. They offer top of the shelf quality at a very affordable price. I can recommend them by personal experience!

Whoever he ordered them from took over two years to get them, so I hope your company is better ;)
