Thanks for all the compliments guys, Tina and I are glad you like the shirts. So far the new BNSF logo Polo's are the number 1 selling shirt, next to the denim shirts. Tina is now working on the Great Northern logo for both polo and denim. Currently for BNSF predicessors we have, BN, SF, and CB&Q. GN is on the works now. Next will be SP&S, NP and Frisco. I'm also working on new T-Shirts, a new BNSF ES44 T-Shirt is in the works. Thank you all for your support! Jim
To all JTW shirt fans. Early this week I was made aware that BNSF is now requiring liscening of its current logo, and predecessor roads logos images etc. BNSF has kept a rather low profile regarding this, but it is stated on their website. We contacted BNSF and have talked with the liscense department and are making steps to become compliant. BNSF is very concerned about their image but is willing to work with small companies like JTW. The talk we had this afternoon was insightful and pleasent. Once Tina gets the requried information to BNSF and we have paid the liscening fees we can go forward with the production of JTW BNSF shirts. Until then, we can not leagaly sell BNSF or BNSF predicessor branded merchandise. I am truely sorry for the inconvienance this may have caused, but we are working on getting this issue resolved in a timely manner. Thank you for your patience. Jim
Are we safe if we already have one? Are the trademark police coming to take us away? Seriously, sorry to hear about the delay. Let us know when things are up and running again!
Not at all, this isn't that other RR:teeth: . In fact the person I talked to at BNSF was happy to hear that our 2005 logo shirt was the most popular. He said he would help us out so we could continue selling. BNSF has a slightly different aproach then say the other western road. We could have kept selling them, but to me it adds authenticity as BNSF can help us make a nice product. BNSF has been very helpful through out this process, and their PR is exceptional. Shirts should be in production again soon.
