.... and keep your ideas coming. Appreciate the input so far. We will be producing some new items over time, so good timing on providing input here. No promises of course. But we do listen!

Default Can I use Van's Logo legally to buy / sell logo gear

Greg
I buy Logo Gear for the company I work for. I would love to buy/sell logo gear with Van's logos. I'd like to have a nice hat for example.

Can we just get Van's approval to use their logo and make our own gear?

New shirts, hats, fleece jackets or hoodies would be awesome! Unfortunately the current vans gear is geared, how do i say this, towards an older crowd. Every year at oshkosh i go by the vans tent and every year i walk away realizing its all the same stuff designed 30 years ago.

Greg, I'm glad that Van's has focused on quality kits so new swag is nice but not super important to me. But if you're changing, good quality garments are a must - I'd pay a few extra ducats for 'em! Maybe we can convince EAA too, their clothes aren't what they used to be.

Default Beige??

No. I can?t wear Beige. I paid a shop to make me Blue hats with Vans on them. My RV grin is much bigger.

+1. Their clothes and designs are definitely pitched at a different demographic than the one I inhabit.

I agree - every year I go by the Van's tent at OSH and there is never anything new.

I vote for comfort ... not a fan of the heavy stiff cotton t shirts that barely break in.

New stuff would be great!
