Ford Fest Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Great idea! I have a friend that makes custom throw blankets. She prints your photos (9 photos I think) on the blanket using dye sublimation. It uses heat to set the image, it becomes part of the blanket, you can't really feel the print on the fabric. If I remember correctly, she charges $100. Pretty cool custom blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I think that both embriodered or silk screened blankets would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 So I'm thinking the CS logo on one, the cobra on another. Simple, not ornate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03 DSG Snake Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'd love a Mustang or Shelby blanket for my couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 What sizes would you all want to see (pricing below)? Also, which Shelby logo (I know I'm opening Pandora's box there - I'll just ask for no car-specific ones at first)? 30 x 40 $59.99 50 x 60 $79.99 60 x 80 $119.99 Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageishecker Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 50 x 60 with the CS racetrack logo or the round Shelby logo with the forward facing cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 50 x 60 CS logo or old school cobra No cars or individual year things as it won't appeal to the wider audience. I think two or three patterns will sell nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05mustangman Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 How about a blanket like this? That way you could have maybe a big CS logo or anything else in the middle and have all Shelby model logos around the blanket. Would make it so you wouldn't have to offer like 10 different blankets for everyone's different models. I actually picked up this blanket at the Ford Merchandise trailer at a Nascar race a few years ago. Makes a great blanket to take to car shows when its cold. I would love to have a Shelby blanket with all the different sheby model logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Jer, Do I get first crack at the throws for the brainstorming recommendation .... at a huge discount ..... :-) Any time frame? I would be interested in finding out who you used as a manufacturer if you could send me a note off line. I'm involved with my kids skating club and I believe this type of thing would be a great fund raiser. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMAv Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 With Jer gone and the new guys focused on product R&D, is it safe to assume products like this will not showing up on shelves anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 It would be really nice if we could get a status update of the projects Jer was working on when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Samples for these blankets were done and approved. Whether Shelby orders them now is up to them. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks Jer. Can you send me the name of the vendor you used off line. My kids are part of a skating club and I'm looking for a manufacturer to make club blankets. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hawkins Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Jer.......since you have an "IN" ..... sort of, at SA, and YOU have connections and KNOW how to get things done........... Have you thought about starting a Business where you produce cool items the TS Members dream up and do it under a Licensing from Shelby American Licensing? You pay SAL their Licensing Fee for the items sold and you pay the Person who gives you the Design 15% of the Profits and you keep the rest. Farmdog does this with the graphics and Decals that he produces and you can do this with other items. People have said they would like SA to start producing "CS" Grill Emblems and there are those Miles Grill Medallions, the Blankets, and I am sure that there is a host of other items that Shelby Owners would love to have but are not being produced. YOU could get those made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I just saw where Wal Mart is now producing Custom Throw Blankets. You give them a Photo and they produce a Blanket. http://photos.walmart.com/walmart/storepage/storePageId=Blankets?povid=P1171-C1110.2784+1455.2776+1115.2956-L320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her blanket has nine sections for you to put photos. She uses dye sublimation to make the photos part of the blanket. They're pretty cool looking!
