AFEX



So it was not to long ago that in the middle of writing posts about overcomming Cancer that I signed off with a very simple saying"Don't just Survive...thrive" It stuck on many levels and has become my signature. As time passed I looked into possibly getting funding for a Fitness video and writing a book. Well I wrote the book which was more about fatherhood than anything else. The Fitness Videos peaked with P90x and Insanity but time and technology has seemed to catch up with that. You can get everything on line these days. I still do think a Fitness website can be a very viable commodity. Interestingly enough in the middle of this process I had the idea of putting together some tshirts that had inspirational and funny sayings on the back with the AFEX logo on the front. So here are the first 2. We have a few more in development. Here are some quotes that we are working on:


Concieve, Believe, Achieve
(in red)(This is a basic saying that I've heard for the past 20 years. It's so simpke and it rhymes.)

You Riding...or hiding?- Bike Austin
(in green)( I live in a community that loves bikes. I see groups of people on a regular basis riding their bikes on the streets and highways here in Austin. They all seem to acknowledge themselves)

Want to surf?
Move to Hawaii
Want to Ski?
Move to Colorado
Want to play Football?
Live in Texas
(in burnt orange)( The thing I like about this quote is that it applies to all of Texas. I never realized how big football was here in Texas until I moved here my junior year in highschool)


Deffinition of a Grapefruit:
a lemon that had a chance and took it

(in purple)(When I was a sophmore in high school a senior left this as her quote in the yearbook. I loved it. It has stuck with me all these years.

H20  the benefits are clear

( I always loved the marketing for milk. I'm constantly encouraging my clients to drink more water. One of my clients gave me this quote. I loved it.)
 


  So there is my start. For all of you here from kickstart a few words on the shirts. All are printed on a coton poly blend high quality tshirt at Aztec printing here in Austin. All shirts are light charcoal. Lettering font right now is up in the air. Considering some new options for our font style so please give me some feedback. Our ladies shirts come in v neck babbydoll style. I want to make a push for the "football" t shirts to get here by football season, sold at games and hopefully soon at some of our local co-op stores. All our initial orders will be Med,Large and XL for men and XS,Small and Med and LArge for women. Please contact us for any specific requests. Kids shirts...we can do it. I beleive in this and know we can be sucessful.
