Title: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours
Post by: peplow on January 28, 2010, 04:37:48 PM
Guys,

Decided i'd like a new helmet and liked the ayrtek ones, thought i'd go for it and bag myself a custom design one. My teams club colours are blue an yellow and i spoke to Tom and he was unbelievably helpful and helped choose a decent design and colour. Got some pics through from Tom of the colours and design now its been done. Its going to have my club badge and initials on it when its finished so should look brilliant

Considering where to put initials and ayrtek... maybe put ayrtek bottom left of helmet (according to picture 3) or just otherside, bottom left, on the bottom section around the helmet, what you think. And then initials either bottom right (according to pic 3) or above and to the right of two yellow stripes (picture two), on the helmet part not the bottom section.

Quality colours! Never realised Ayrtek could do that for people!

Nick Nack glad you like it needs tidying up a bit yet as still a few bits of masking tape left on in the pics which make the lines look a bit wonky!

Colour wise Sam wanted the helmet colour to match his club hoody so took that into consideration when getting hold of the colours to match it.

Yeah :) gave tom my hoodie, which was wet as had just been washed at the time, and not only did tom match it perfectly, he also dried it out on radiator for me :D.

Tom, you never fail to tempt me.  I can just see the abuse crawling in though, not that i'm fussed.  Sometimes can put me of my game....

The Holland one looks quite good. But the MCC...
Title: Re: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours
Post by: leeroy_acko on February 03, 2010, 09:39:24 PM
I actually really like the MCC one! And I like the way the blue contrasts the orange around the bottom on the Holland one. when I get mine it will be same colours as Peplow but in the Holland style (no flames please)!
Title: Re: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours

Title: Re: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours

Title: Re: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours
Post by: Colesy on February 03, 2010, 10:06:11 PM
Do you think you'll offer a refurb service Tom?

Joe...yeh thought I had a while back that if our customers want it refurbed at the end of the season to iron out any dents/scratches etc that may have occurred throughout the season when having a helmet knocking around in a kit bag they can send it back and we can add a fresh design/colour to it perhaps or simply refurb it to as new condition. After which it will be sent back to them for another season's use!

Perhaps you two Sadley Broke boys should go to nets together instead of sitting inside in front of the TV!

P.s Sammy u can practice on your car parts im sure your soon learn not to go wrong after doing it and having to strip it back to scratch again!
Title: Re: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours
Post by: Colesy on February 03, 2010, 10:24:13 PM

Title: Re: My New Custom Ayrtek - Club Colours
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 03, 2010, 10:33:47 PM
We had 12 helmets back fro mthe BSI that were used in testing they had a few dents etc in them and obviously we wouldnt use them to fulfil orders so we sprayed them and as it was the world cup we did one up in a different design for each country.

Did see the holland side at wormsley but they had lovely orange SS helmets and a couple of masuri's already. yeh my life would be much easier if you all ordered one of them!

As the black is more of a grey I think it'll look even better if made...
