Sample of Eithne Cap

**boomer** · 12th March 2009, 14:09

Sample cap of the LE Eithne design, we had to modify the design slighly but this is the finished product.

It will be produced on Navy Baseball caps.

Individual names can be added for an extra €5 (€3 of that going to charity in addition to the €6)

You should try contacting some one onboard and try to sell them there.

I dont have any contacts on the ship so cant do that atm, I am sure someone here will get in touch when they are back ashore

I have placed an initial order for 10 caps, they will be as above but in Navy color with the Gold thread.

These can be purchased through the store.

I like the idea however unless its very poor photo I'm not exactly in love with the finished product.

I appreciite that replicating the sillouette would cause some difficulties, its not as I thought it would be.

Its not the best of pics as I couldnt focus close enough to get a decent pic, not to mention an overbright flash

What particular aspect did you not like?

**hptmurphy** · 12th March 2009, 22:42

The height of the funnels is dispropotionate and doesn't highlight the instantly recognisable features of Eithne.

the bow is far too raked and should be shorter and sharper.

have a look at the graphic used in the add its far more like the actual sillouette

**boomer** · 12th March 2009, 22:48

that would be the picture not being taken straight on, the graphic in the add is what was used to create the image on the cap. I will try to get a straighter image (it was taken looking down at the cap) or if your in Dublin you can have a look at it directly.

Hopefully I'll be able to source better sillhouettes for future caps.

I know I'm going to hell for this but I thought it was a silhouette of Manhattan with the Statue of Liberty in the background.

does that mean that the current stock is void and new caps are being sold??

would be a good idea to show the item here before stock is ordered??

Current stock void?

Emmm no, just means new pics needed

I will be in cork on Wednesday and will show it to Goldie and he can give his opinion as to whether it looks like Eithne or the Statue of Liberty

That shilouette was created from a side on image of the Eithne, although Goldie has said he has the ones from the recruitment posters so we will see how that goes.

Goldie has informed me that he found the shilouettes and that they include the helicopter on Eithne but none for P50 class, if anyone has one for the P50 class can they please send them to me.

Cheers

**boomer** · 14th March 2009, 21:45

The new shilouettes found by Goldie i will be modifying the design to use these (These are from NS Publications so are official shilouettes if there is such a thing!)

**boomer** · 4th April 2009, 18:14

Folks

I have put together new designs based on the shilouettes that Goldie sent me and a sample of a hat he had.

There is one design issue, can people please advise which of the two images below is better for the embroidery?

1st one looks good

**damo de muff diver** · 5th April 2009, 11:04

This is not a complaint
but
P.20 - L.E Deirdre
P.21 - L.E. Emer

**Goldie fish** · 5th April 2009, 11:46

I think its fair to say that the silhouette for P20, will be the same used as that for P21, P22 and P23

However, Yes P21 is Emer.

(slaps Boomer on wrist)

That's funny because the image that came to my mind was a scene from The Mouse That Roared aboard Grand Fenwick's 'Warship".

It's right here in the opening.
