UntamedDOG T-shirts & stickers

Recommended Posts

I enjoy expressing myself so much online that I decided it was about time to design my first T-shirt.

I have worn this T-shirt (attached photo) several times around my home DZ in Perris,CA. It is quite the conversation starter.

I am currently having several dozen of these T-shirts made. I am giving them away to qualified jumpers. You must have at least 500 jumps to receive a free T-shirt from me.

Why the 500 jump rule? Because I don’t want obnoxious 100 jump wonders running around trying to start controversy at their home DZ’s. These T-shirts are aimed towards people who have a strong political standing in the skydive community. I would like these shirts to be worn by people who are influential in our sport and can support change.

Please bring your logbooks if you want a T-shirt because I will check.

And ladies, I haven’t forgotten about you. I’m having a couple of pink ones made.

For those of you who have less than 500 jumps but still wish to represent the “UntamedDOG” philosophy, I am having some 4 x 3 stickers made up that look just like the T-shirts. You can use these stickers to TAG that dangerous jump plane at your home DZ, stick them in the dirty bathroom stalls or wherever you feel a problem needs to be addressed. These stickers allow anonymity when addressing problems to your DZO.

I am also looking for alternate phrasings to use, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here are a couple I had in mind……..


“DC-9 Jet at Perris…it flies, no really”

“DZ outhouses, now Hepatitis free”

“My jumptickets finance my DZO’s drug cartel”

“My other T-shirt says Abercrombie & Fitch”

Next you are going to promote the UntamedDOG boogie, where for $50 entrance fee, no planes are guaranteed to be there, but the restrooms will well stocked, well lit, and feature Brazilian cherry doors and Italian marble floors.;)

Just kidding... I have learned to laugh at (or maybe with) you.;)

I suppose that at 500 or , I don't know, 752 jumps, its ok to be obnoxious and run around the DZ and starting controversy

I am so happy to be getting the PM’s you all have sent. I’m getting flooded with requests for UntamedDOG T-shirts and stickers. Bear in mind, I am not selling anything. Although integrity and commerce are often strange bed fellows, I have no desire to “sell-out” or mass market myself. Besides, I wouldn’t want Square 1 to deal with the hassle of checking logbooks every time someone wanted to buy a T-shirt with my name on it.

I am thinking about starting the UntamedDOG foundation. Perhaps a donation in exchange for merchandise would be the answer. These donations would help finance my travel across the country and abroad to visit and jump at various well-known dropzones.

The purpose of this mission will be to issue UntamedDOG certifications to all dropzones that meet my stringent set of requirements and amenities. I will post in the DZ reviews section on this website about my experiences. These reviews will have a much-needed touch of objectivity. Only the classiest dropzones will receive the UntamedDOG certification.

There is one problem with this idea, The IRS. If I start a foundation, it needs to be non-profit so I won’t have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam. In the event of an audit, it would be hard to justify why I am spending all the donations on myself. Perhaps I could start a religion like the Scientologists. This will guarantee Tax Exempt status without any hassles.

Any suggestions on how I could accomplish this would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,
UntamedDOG

Not really a suggestion, rather an instruction. DO NOT use the forums to sell your T-shirts, stickers etc even if it's non-profit, or request for donation only or whatever. If you wish to sell/give away/trade such things, use the Classfieds section we have provided for this purpose.

My apologies. Allow me to clarify. I am not selling anything, I am giving away these items to people who I feel deserve them.

The foundation was just an idea, to solve the problem with the high demand for my merchandise.

When the time comes to mass market my name and charge money, I will follow your instructions by posting advertisements in the classifieds section on this website.

You thrive on controversy.



Not really, the original phrasing I had for the T-shirt said, “Desire to Witness a Fatality”.

I realized that this might get some people beat up at their dropzones and I certainly don’t want anyone to get hurt while trying to promote my ideology.

A classy restroom would be a hell lot cheaper than a DC-9 that’s sitting on the tarmac collecting dust. It would also be cheaper than a wind tunnel.

More importantly, this improvement could be enjoyed by everyone, not just the privileged few who can afford it.

Imagine how much more enjoyable Perris would be if they renovated their bathrooms and Bombshelter restaurant.

I like the "UntamedDOG boogie" idea though...keep up the suggestions!

P.S. I would charge at least $100 for a boogie with my name on it!

I think it would be really funny if you wore the Tee shirt to the DZ this weekend and got pictures of yourself geeking all the thinks you disagree with... Post them in a gallery here...

A big smile on your face (even my dog smiles every once in a while), while wearing the shirt, while sitting on the john.... This is a family show, so leave the pants on... You know they say a picture says a thousand words...
