“Through the lights, cameras and action, glam, glitter and GOLD”
The time has come for everyone who’s been asking, “Yo, you got any tees?” or saying, “Man let me get a tee, I need one of the samples you have” to put their money where their mouth is and pre-order one of these limited edition logo t-shirts. Before I go into details about the shirt let me share a few things.
For the longest time, ever since the first idea I had for Quell Collections back in 2004, I never thought of making t-shirts. It didn’t mean that I didn’t like them but it’s just not what I wanted to do. Over the years I’ve become somewhat proficient in graphic design and I still had no desire to do t-shirts. Then I thought about an effective way to market and make a bold statement. T-shirts are great for that. T-shirts are an effective way to communicate a brand’s message. I always choose the most difficult path for everything therefore I still decided to skip t-shirts, even though I had samples made. So my motivation to make t-shirts was not because they’re affordable to make, not because they would serve as a billboard for my brand’s name but because a lot of my close friends and associates asked for them. If they want to support me and I’ve created a demand then I’ll accommodate that. I’ve had plenty of designs on deck for months but none I felt worthy enough to sell so I went back to the lab to make a unique, meaningful graphic that I liked that’s high quality and represents what Quell Collections is all about. My goal was to make a t-shirt better than or at least as good as a t-shirt I would buy from a store where I actually shop in real life. I had to meet the “gold standard” for t-shirts. After a few months, lots of research and lot of designs down the drain…the gold standard has been met.
The limited edition “Gold Standard” t-shirts will be offered in 2 colors, black and white and in limited quantities. It features the signature Quell Collections logo in full detail on the front. There’s an added “qc” logo in a premium gold foil circled by the brand’s motto “from hightops to hardbottoms”. There’s an additional Quell Collections logo silhouette on the back shoulder also displayed in the premium gold foil accent. Last but not least, Quell Collections labeling is featured at the shirt hem for an added touch of authenticity.
We all know gold is preferred amongst kings and queens who have great taste and recognize quality amongst all things and that’s what this t-shirt and Quell Collections are all about. It seems even more fitting to add the “Watch the Throne” artwork considering its royal reference.
