I'm offering any help I can - I'm a graphic designer/photographer though I live in New York. I've got some skillz in web design as well, though pretty basic.

Lemme know any way I can assist and/or collaborate.

Sorry for my ignorance but when did they turn the letters off? I have never seen them lit.

The last time I remember them lit was probably the early or mid 90s.

I like the "light em up" shirt design. Put me down for 2 if this gets approved. Heck, this motto could be applied to our high octane offense. Gig-A-Pig.

This needs to go BIGGER...Facebook, individual's Aggie spam groups (you know the ones where you send the jokes to your buddies), other Aggie sites, etc.

Trademark privilege needs to be acquired for the shirts if this has not already been mentioned.

Again, as I have previously stated, the lights only need to be lit for home games (Friday & Saturday nights). That is not asking a ton from the University.

Do we have a dedicated website designer? Shirt? Clear amount to reinstall? Or do we wait until the inspection is complete?

...and make sure everything is "ready to go" and flawless before this goes somewhat more public...

Basically, 'Cover Your bAss' tactic so this doesn't look like a bunch of "stupid Aggies trying to light letters."

Also - I know the 2007 Maroon Out shirt had a Kyle Field 'logo' on the back of it, so 'Kyle Field' or that logo may be trademarked... more to check on.

Then again, if....WHEN we raise the money, then probably TAMU Physical Plant and Byrne take it from that point forward.

I just had a thought for a title image to the site... this a crappy MS Paint rendition but spelling out Light The Letters using KYLE FIELD and the block ATM... if I get a chance tonight I'll make a nicer looking version

Sure, I'll help drive this deal.

FIRST (A), we need a committee for organization and communication purposes.

FIRST (B), University approval for this project...if we get the funds, then will the project be initiated?

FIRST (C), trademark approval for the shirts

Then, we can start tackling the other issues.

Throw out the committee idea and get items B & C performed.

...and my new signature...

We need more shirt ideas and get an approved, decided design quickly.

I will start writing intro and other needed prose for submittal, edit and use on the webpage. Others do the same.

When was the last time the letter were lit?

Whatever it takes to get discussion with University...

Problems are opportunities for solutions not contemplation.

Let's find the solution.

Good bull.

If someone sets up an account, a lot of us would donate with or without shirts.

Looks even better.

Replace the 1st and 2nd pics with better alternatives.

The train looks like a ____ in a pool.

Someone post the intent and link to this thread on Aggies Only...more reliable information and sources.

Have you guys considered talking to the Foundation about setting up a small endowment to cover the recurring cost of the lighting?
