Merchandising
Committee and members of UCC have come up with some merchandising creations, such as stickers and t-shirt designs.
T-Shirt Design Competition
-
We're thrilled to kick off the new semester with an exciting event: our T-Shirt Designing Competition 🎨
-
Starting Monday 26/02 until week 3 Wednesday (13/03) UCC will be accepting designs for our newest UCC T-shirt! The design and colour is entirely up to you, we will try to accommodate whatever you create (this can include designs on the sleeves, back, and/or front)! The only thing to keep in mind is that the design should fit a plain T-shirt such as the one attached. Multiple submissions are allowed!
-
After this time, the committee will look through the submissions and ensure only appropriate 🤨 designs are selected for voting. More information on voting will be released closer to the due date of submission, but in short: every dollar you spend in the clubroom (either through the vending machines, or through donations) gives you a vote that can be spent on any design you like!
-
Please submit your designs in our discord committee channel or to [email protected]! We can't wait to see what our incredibly talented members create!!
UCC Polo T-Shirts
- Committee would like to spruce up our polo shirts with an updated version! The updated version will switch out the white logo embrodiery with gold embroidery.
- Polo shirts will be available later in the semester.
Stickers
- Along with our T-Shirt Design Competition, we will be selling stickers later in the semester!
- Some submissions are a pixel art image of our coke machine, as well as a pixel art version of our machine room doors. If you have a sticker design related to anything UCC please submit your design in our discord committee channel or to [email protected].
