OK this is a bit mad but i'm taking part in a 'scientific' experiment which will be shown on Sat nite primetime BBC TV (aargh!) So anyway, methinks this is an opportunity to plug painyball..not any company, any brand any sponsor or any particular type of paintball, just paintball. With me so far?

The prog is being filmed on Sat 4th March and i'm told by the Beeb to bring along 2 outfits. No large brand logos and not black or very heavy patterns are the restrictions.

I was thinking at this point i could wear a paintball jersey with just the word "Paintball" and maybe a "paint" splat or two. I'm sure i've seen this kind of jersey somewhere...maybe a marshalling top? This could be a conversation starter as i'm sure everyone else on the show will be wearing their smartest gear, as instructed by Auntie Beeb ;)

I know I could get one printed up at the local T-Shirt shop but it will look tacky and homemade so i'd prefer a sublimated top. A small company logo will be acceptable but it can't be too prominent.

Anyone got any ideas??

Why not get sopme spoof jersey made up (or if they exist, a real one), that you can refer to as a momento from teh World Championship Paintball Tournament or whatever.

So like you have "Campaign Cup 2005 Paintball Chamionships" emblazoned across your fabulous figure.

This should, as you say, be a conversation starter, and gets across the Tournament side of paintball...but will also bring up teh rec side as well, because...thats what people think about paintball.

Some logos on it etc...maybe get Motorola logo on it (i know, but they dont do they!)
as that is a non industry sponser.

You get teh idea.

"Whats this "colourful" top your wearing there Cherry? Paintball World Chamionships? Whats that about then"
(shuffles pappers)

:D

I'm sure if you asked that nice Mr Robinson politly he would check for you, and if it IS copyrighted then make it OK for you to use it.
