<p>A communal brainstorming at yesterday's BApk year-end party generated a valuable effort to finalize AND produce a new shirt, updating <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/photo/bapk-tshirts" target="_self">the <strong>classic 2.0</strong> version</a>.</p>
<p>A dozen motivated (!) practitioners pre-selected (and modeled!) the "various" options below, which have all pros and cons, but gave us a chance of narrowing down a couple of points:</p>
<p>- this will be done in 2014, no rush, since we are not going anywhere, but let's get it done (!!);</p>
<p>- a pricey shirt (+/-$30) is ok, provided it's very good quality/brand, and technical fabric;</p>
<p>- no cotton, unless a minimal percentage (15%) for softness, but probably not;</p>
<p>- no recycled material, which would be nice, but we'll recycle something else; :)</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">- no sleeveless, or long sleeve shirt, or compression shirt, or loose fit; let's simplify;</span></p>
<p><font size="2">- no white (gets stained), no </font>black<font size="2"> (heats up) shirts, no matter how cool they are;</font></p>
<p><font size="2">- color will be depending on availability, but shades of blue: from baby-powder (unlikely) to dark blue, through blue royal, which is the existing color and (slightly) preferred;</font></p>
<p><font size="2">- graphics will be white;</font></p>
<p><font size="2">- we will shop for shirts on-line, based on above criteria, narrow down and post the final choices, have people select their size, pre-pay it, custom print them, and deliver them at sessions (<em>phew!</em>);</font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font size="2">Next steps (goal is within January 10, 2014):</font></p>
<p><font size="2">- defining graphics (<a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/forum/topics/bapk-3-0-shirts-graphics" target="_self">separate thread here</a>);</font></p>
<p>- selecting and posting available shirts.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Stay tuned and freely comment.</p>

so i recently discovered that i am in need of some new t-shirts, and i figure it'd be kinda cool to rep the bay area parkour community with a bapk shirt. i looked at the thread(s) though, and they seem pretty old and don't allow me to reply to them anymore. so is there still a way i could get my hands on a bapk shirt nowadays? thanks in advance.<br/>

<p>Due to the numbers of spammers signing up lately, and their aggressive spamming behavior with PMs and posts, BApk will momentarily approve new members before they can join.</p>

<p>If you invited a friend or you know of somebody wanting to join, please let them know to reply the sign-up questions so that we can understand that they are real humans interested in Parkour, and not spammers.</p>
