Looks good..I like green lettering better though.The blue reminds me of whaat mechanics wear.
I like it. I would also consider the gree color, hunter green would be nice with the tan.

It really seems to me Adam, that green lettering would be more appropriate.
Besides the blue makes me think of the Yankees (damn, where is my vomit smiley???)

The blue would be ok because it is overshadowed with a tanish color. i like it, reminds me of the 2002 MLB all-star game(in wisc.).:)

I tried tan shirts for awhile but they showed too much sweat. Thought about white (cool in the summer) but would show too much dirt. Finally went with yellow, cool in the summer and doesn't show sweat.
Just something to think about.

I went with a lighter gray for those reasons..... with a "hunter green" lettering
thanks for the feedback. i currently have tan shirts with green lettering. it is nice, i just always preffered blue. more so, every single guy has green trucks, or green lettering here.
i am having the patches made now, and also, i ordered the "logo" for each side of my trailer. i don't even know if you can call it a logo, its so simple. I wil post pics of the trailer afterwards. got both sides where of logo's for under a $100!!!! i am just putting them on my self.
the main logo is 2' tall x 4' wide, then the usaul "i do this and that's"
also, the patches are custom made, forunder $5 each.. i call it a score.

thanks, came up with this 8 years ago. wheni went to the county clerks office, i was thinking, "do i really have to look through all these books to see if anyone else has my name?"
you should have heard some of the bombs i was brainstorming..:clapping: :) :hammerhead:
but if i am home to answer the phone, its something like,:
" hi, this is adam of full green ahead, what can i do for you?".. then ofcourse i get from the older folk, HUH? what? whoodie whatty? is...is adam there?
I like it. I would also consider the gree color, hunter green would be nice with the tan.
that was favorite color combo on the convertible vette! nice green, with a tan rag top (drool)

I have never found a color that doesn't show sweat, what style shirts do you use. collared t-shirt , long sleeve, short sleeve, sleeveless shirts? When we hired US born guys they always wanted T-shirts or sleeveless, the imported guys from down south always preferred the long sleeve shirts. Funny they didn't seem to sweat as much. I always wore the grey or blue collared shirts and tried to get in air conditioning as much as possible. Love your business name though!

Love your business name though!s/s t's. its just a given that immigrant workers fair better in the heat. my guy will guzzle "aqua", but never look like he is busting a sweat... however, my nose tells me different.
Adam,

I tried yellow cotton tees.... what a mess!
After one day in the field they looked like a yellow and green dalmation.
Grass stains that would not lift.
What yellow shirts are you having luck with?

Black and Yellow are my colours too(for window cleaning), Navy blue and brown is boring to my eye, sorry.

Down here you would bake with anything black on.
Here you have to wear light or bright colors... otherwise you roast in them.
Red has been a good color for me. Cool because it is bright and dark enough not to show so much filth. The bright Lesco/Athletic/Irish/Shamrock/Varsity green is good too. Not as cool as red, but bearable.

Yellow and black are my logo colours, sorry 'bout that.. though I do have black tee shirts with yellow writing but its window cleaning, half the time I'm indoors. I don't know what I'm going to do about this lawncare expansion thing.
anyway, Red! I have recently read that if you wear a blue suit with a splash of red, say a tie, you can increase sales. MacDonalds and Wendys study what make ppl more suseptable to a sale. Very interesting stuff.
I like it. Looks sharp.
thanks Rob,
on top of ordering my usaul T-shirts,
i bought a load of short sleeve dickies buttin down shirts, so i can put the patches on the pockets. i got the shirts already, and they look good. can't wait to get my patches... should be here monday.
i'll post pics when its all said and done.

Tan with green lettering would be ideal!
