are you screening all the shirts yourself, or where are you getting it done. also I was talking to one of the guys who's part owner of winners circle and they got mad love for local brands, so you could probably talk to them if your trying to get your stuff in a shop. just an idea. let me know about that printing

[eyes]

congrats man! i agree that the website could use a little more flair, but i understand that everything is a work in progress. im actually just a few step behind you myself. keep it up though man, shirts look great.

questions:
1. will the teal be tiffanys teal?
2. how did you setup the "ordering" part of the website?

-ben

[ceemarun]

jman, i'm helping dum print his shirts w/ my shop here in san francisco. he's lookin like he knows what he's doin so far 8)

1.No, the teal is not exactly the same.
2. Reall easily actually, just upgraded my paypal account to Business and then set up a paypal shopping cart, which had me tell them the product info and then they gave me the buttons and menu, which can be custom as well.

[JMANBB24]

jesus why r there so mant seattle heads now?

we need something to do in seattle, so we come on hypebeast

[Pete]

Great work dum, best of luck with the brand.

you have a little "clipping" issue with the T and the E in DATE.
i liked the original font better, the tall/slim looking one, but if youre going for a comic feel then stick to it i guess.

[DUM]

^Yeah it's already fixed in Illustrator. The other font was way too rounded.

[DrewDogg]

congrats on getting this far dum. i don't know if i agree on making your first drop a logo tee, but good luck man. as long as you drop nice designs, i'll be sure to cop.

[SOLE]

thats a hot design, but where would it be placed on the shirt? it ends pretty abruptly, so id say bottom hippish...what were you thinking?

[DUM]

Yes the infamous date rape is to be printed on the bottom.

[Hendriks]

^that date rape tee needs to be the next one you put out DUM, I'd cop for sure.

[SOLE]

yeah make it, but make it say bamf or some junk on her belt buckle

[DUM]

It will be, along with Fearless Vampire Killers, and 1-2 others I'm working on.

Nah, that's a ACTQ song, I think the belt buckle ties it in nicely.

[Icer]

Do you ship to Europe? And how much will a shirt then cost?

[DUM]

Add $10 to ship to Europe.

[Icer]

ok good to know! thanks

[RyanRodriguez]

much respect for DUM. PROPS! son.

also waiting for the IDR irsht<-------



word

*Cheers to DUM and The Bamf

[DUM]

IDR should look like this

http://www.thebamf.com/infamous%20date%20rape%20aqua%20host.png

[doloveira]

if you're taking suggestions, i would color the letters. that might be kinda difficult if you are screenin them yourself though.

[DUM]

I'm not screening them myself.

[dblockdosmil]

the tribe belt bothers me man

[RyanRodriguez]

dude get yellow shirts for the IDR shirt. (x-men stylee) word up

[el chu]

what color is that date rape shirt?

[shant]

DUM, the belt bothers me too. It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the graphics.

[ciph$]

DUM, the belt bothers me too. It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the graphics.

DUM's said before he thinks the belt fits as the words "Infamous Date Rape" are taken from a Tribe song.

[Jack]

I like it how it is.

[DUM]

Yeah, Ryan I was thinking yellow too.

[Subculture]

Tribe on the belt was actually a sub idea.....take out your hate for the belt on em 8) ........its actually genius

[DUM]

^Yup.

How do you guys feel about these?

[Brick James]

The middle one is ok, the yellow and purple are nice.

[DrewDogg]

nice dum, but i almost wish you could use another font, i've seen that one a little too much now.

i think her belt is fine.

[ciph$]

I like the Purple/Green one.

[Jones Soda]

The Yellow + Purple one is most defitnitley nice.

I would order your tees but man, I'm broke now. I'm going to order one whenever I get some money.

Good luck to your brand, and keep doing what you're doing!

[mr. newbie]

yellow is my favorite color. i want it

[SOLE]

lol, taking the easy way out with "ctrl+u", eh?

[DUM]

^huh?

[SOLE]

all you did was fuck with hue/saturation to get different colorways...right?

[ciph$]

all you did was fuck with hue/saturation to get different colorways...right?

You want him to do some long drawn out process to make mockups?

[SOLE]

no, thats why i said he took the easy way out. which is actually the smart thing to do, because that way every colorway still has the same contrast as the previous.

[DUM]

No, I didn't fuck with hue saturation for the mockups, I did it in illustrator, using the exact colors of the Gildan Ultra Cotton tees, and the colors from the pantone swatch library in Illustrator.

[brucewang]

Dude, wheres ur original IDR, the feast of flesh font is getting old, IMO it sorta makes the shirt tacky. The simpler it is, the hotter it looks. leaving the X-men belt was fine too. Can I cop the original design in a Medium :D ?

[Jack]

dum did you go to graphic design school or something? where'd you get that template for those shirts? made yourself?

[RyanRodriguez]

&) &) &) &) &) DAM DUM! that yellow is bling bloah yo!
I am coppin that shit forilz meng...

*salutes DUM*



8) smokin

[Subculture]

I'll take the purple

[mind the gap]

ill cop any of those in a Medium, tell me when they're done, dum :)

[B.Hicks]

no clean white base tees for the IDR tees?

[doloveira]

^Yup.

How do you guys feel about these?

http://www.thebamf.com/Infamous%20Date%20Rape%20Yellow%20host.png


all three of these are dope. way better. put me down for the purple one if you decide to run wit it.

[Kajjjj]

Feeling the yellow and purple. Likely to cop those.

[DUM]

I made the tee template myself from a picture of a t-shirt that I took, wasn't hard. And I haven't yet been to a graphic design school but I plan on it...I'm self taught, still rough arond the edges.

[ice grillz]

i love the infamous date rape, but on purple, i think it would look better if you used lighter green for the purple tee and if you moved everything up so it would fill the whole tee.

and are you going to write infamous date rape written backwards on the back as well like the mishka kmfdm tee or just one side?

[ballday]

dum did you go to graphic design school or something? where'd you get that template for those shirts? made yourself?



thats was just some plain ass dick ridin shyt..i know all yall muthafukas love DUM...he seems like a cool muthafuka to me, but dam some of this shyt is just stupid.

[DUM]

He asked where I got the template? How is that 'dick ridin shyt'?

[ballday]

that whole graphic design school shyt.!!

[ballday]

i know it feels good to have all of these people tellin you what you want to hear and shyt... but the tees are just O.K..(alot better than some of these other wunna be start up brands).. i saw your art for sale b4..it was cool ..not some fuckin out of this world mind blowing shit that your frendz will lead you to beleive.

i know you live on this thread and everyone likes you and shyt...like sed b4 you seem cool to me... but alot of these comments lead to to think that these cats arent being truthfull all the time...just being frendly cuz they like u..bcuz from what i have read in other threads ..these hypers can be mean and ruthlesss..but for some reason no hate..nothing bad..ever to any of the shyt you write or post....

[SOLE]

^wtf? you dont make sense. bamf first of all to me is a catchy name, and the fact that bamf ALSO stands for "bad ass mother fucker" is cool. dont you want everyone to know how mother fucking bad ass you are?

nah im just kidding. but idk, theres something about all of these designs i like, if you dont like it dont buy it.

[Subculture]

Cynicism is alive and strong in the hipster community. You cant acually like anything anymore....or think a brand is dope....or give a designer props... It has to be "dick riding". Its gotten totally ridiculous.

[ballday]

yeah the name is cool designs are all right too....but you get what im saying about DUM and what seem to be his forum.

(SOLEsurvivor...reppin Queens too)

[Jack]

thats was just some plain ass dick ridin shyt..i know all yall muthafukas love DUM...he seems like a cool muthafuka to me, but dam some of this shyt is just stupid.

Hmmm... Because I asked him if he went to design school? That wasn't suppose to be some kind of compliment I just wanted to know if he went to design school because I personally haven't and it's good to know what you can still do graphic design-wise without going to school for it.

You just misunderstood my post, but it's okay, I understand. I understand that you are mentally retarded and/or a latent homosexual. Good luck with that playa haha

more about him and the reation his threads get.

Thing is...I'd say most people on HB don't like me, but from the beginning I've gotten positive feedback on my work. No one said I was doing amazingly mind-blowing work, but they like it, is that hard to believe? My ego (as well as my e-ego :) )is fine. I don't live on this thread. It's the internet.

[Subculture]

Ok fair enough...we should probally end with the all of that and let this be a bamf thread...because this kinda stuff easily gets out of hand

[ballday]

LOL at these comments..........sorry DUM, don't quit your day-job........nothing special keep it moving.......you get an E for effort though!!!

[Kajjjj]

i saw your art for sale b4..it was cool ..not some fuckin out of this world mind blowing shit that your frendz will lead you to beleive.
Mind blowing shit? Hahahaha, I love how you exaggerated the so-called exaggeration towards DUM's work. Anyway I get you. Your just concerned about the dude who made this thread being blinded by support or what not, losing touch of himself etc. Damn! Just ask him on a date already!!

[Tronics]

RAAAHHH!!

This shizzle has blown up!

Well done DUM.

LOL at peeps just sucking him off for free tee's, you wont be getting any trust me.

[bboy3000icecol]

question?.....what would it take to make this BAMF! brand hot? if he made some different designs and you seen some celebrities/hip-hop artists like Nas, Tribe, Mos Def. etc. rockin his joints would u give the brand props or would it still be wack?

[Tronics]

question?.....what would it take to make this BAMF! brand hot? if he made some different designs and you seen some celebrities/hip-hop artists like Nas, Tribe, Mos Def. etc. rockin his joints would u give the brand props or would it still be wack?


to be honest you could apply this logical to every wack brand posted on this forum. thats just the way it is, its fickle like that.

the only thing you can do is not buy into it. if you like DUM's shit for what it is then good. but if you ripping it now then suddenly buy it on digital gravel cause its on the hundreds blog, then your slipping.

[DUM]

How's this look to you guys? I wanted to use this graphic and I think it fits this well. This way it'll be printed centered on the tee. Just a random colorway

if a design is wack then the shit is just wack...but like homeboy said... thats how this shyt goes...these people feed off of the hype. basically clones in their own little subculture. they knock the mainstream shyt but all the shyt that they buy is hyped and mainstream and everyone else is wearing it within the streetwear scene.

[ballday]

keep doin yur thing DUM..i hope ur shyt does blow.. along with alot of these other up and coming designers..

[Black Chanler]

Congrats man, your getting some hype already my dude.

[dblockdosmil]

the color font doesnt match the black and white chick man it doesnt fit at all

[TheFly]

I'm kind of late on the ball here, but whats up with the kerning on the first few letters of 'infamous'.

edit: the black and white version is fresh, the colored isnt doing it for me.

[kingkelly]

^word, take some care of the lettering, do some research on typography, dont just type it out on photoshop.

I like the shirts better without the bottom banner by the way

[DUM]

Yeah, I havent messed with the letters yet, I especially need to fix the "this is for" on the banner.

[Hendriks]

DUM, any info on when you'll drop the IDR tee? Hopefully it's soon cause " I want that purple stuff"

[DUM]

I'd like to release it along with the FVK tee and another one I'm working on, but I'm not sure if I'll have the funds to do all three. But I'm thinking sometime next month.

[Hendriks]

^hhhmmm, sounds like DUM needs an anonymous financial backer? I'm in, I have a feelin the profits will make it well worth it.

[RyanRodriguez]

oh man that shirt is sick. I cant wait for that yellow one yo!

how the hell did you get so good on illustrator man?

[DUM]

^hhhmmm, sounds like DUM needs an anonymous financial backer? I'm in, I have a feelin the profits will make it well worth it.
Yes, if anyone has the confidence in me and would like to invest in Bamf, PM me. :)

i like this but i dont like it for a tee i think it would look hot somewhere on your site or if you go ala nigo on a ziplockbag with the tee sick shit tho DUM

does this make me a dick ryder lol

[SOLE]

i like the banner and how it looks, just not what it says on it

[DUM]

It's from another X-men cover, and I think it fits.

[frank white]

much respect to DUM for doing what he's doing, but does anyone find it offensive or disrepectful to be wearing something with "infamous date rape" printed on it, regardless of whether or not it's a song?

[bapelong]

no there are worst shit out there than a shirt that says that

[Hendriks]

much respect to DUM for doing what he's doing, but does anyone find it offensive or disrepectful to be wearing something with "infamous date rape" printed on it, regardless of whether or not it's a song?
^No, its not like it says" I'm gonna rape you" or something. plus people who would be offended generally wouldn't take the time to actually look at what it says.

4xl 4xl 4xl......!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats a fking big shirt

[LifeLike]

Nice Dum.. get at me about some website design. :)

[jeremy]

bamf is wack i wouldnt wear it if you paid me :P

[daniel]

does anyone find it offensive or disrepectful to be wearing something with "infamous date rape" printed on it, regardless of whether or not it's a song?
Since all you can read out is "INFAMOUS D__E R__E".... no, people won't get offended.

I don't see the point of releasing a logo shirt first, why would I want to buy a shirt with some random name on it if I don't know anything about the brand or seen any other designs? (Unless posters at the hypebeast forum is your only target audience).

[DUM]

bamf is wack i wouldnt wear it if you paid me :P
Jeremy you are not getting free shirts dammit!

I know, lots of people told me not to do logo tees first, but it was a standalone design...I want to release my other designs together and didnt have the funds for that. And I guess HB members were my target audience...along with everyone I went to school with...they've wanted my tees.

[DUM]

Cleaned up.

it makes perfect sense....as memory serves, LOTS of successful lines initially came out with a logo T....it gets people familiar with your logo and helps them recognize it as a brand.
I think its absolutely a good thing to start off with.

[bapelong]

its only a good idea to come up wit logo tee if you release a whole bunch of hot and nice designed tees wit it too, it cant JUST be a logo tee release for your first release...but that colors nice right there DUM

[Hendriks]

BAMF is gonna blow up quickly, you guys need to get some of the stuff before it gets huge and yoiu can't find it in any sotres or online. and thats not just the whickey and hydro talking.lol. DUM is the real deal and BAMF is gonna be big.

[IneedMoney©]

thats a fking big shirt

well imma fking big guy...................... 4XL man be different then the other companys show some love to the fat folks dum

[eyes]

i liked it before the banner.

[TheFly]

yeah the banner isnt needed.
kind of looks like INFAMOLIS.
sorry to be such a nitpicker.

[jimmaye]

maybe the banner could be on the back???

[B.Hicks]

maybe the banner could be on the back???
^^^yea, sounds better than on the front. doesn't really fit on the front.

[DUM]

^Ah, I wouldn't have thought of that. I'll try that out and see how it looks, thanks for all the feedback guys.

[RyanRodriguez]

yo DUM do you use a pen-mouse or a mouse in illustrator....also what kinda illustrator do u got, mines weak...I need illustrator 10.

[shant]

Ryan,

Look for Illustrator CS2, that's the latets version. Also, getting a Wacom (pen mouse) is a good idea for helping to do designs. They're not as expensive as tey used to be.

[Jack]

I have a wacom graphic design tablet for my macbook and it isn't all that great, for hand drawn designs it's better to invest in a good scanner. It takes a look of getting use to also.

[DUM]

I use a mouse, and I have CS2.

[IneedMoney©]

^^^^ are u gonna make 4XL or what????

[DUM]

No.

[IneedMoney©]

Why????

[DUM]

They cost me extra and the designs wont look as good on a huge tee.

[Kajjjj]

Why????
To encourage yo fat self to lose some weight.

[Kajjjj]

Whoops my bad! Same shit different toilet.

[DUM]

Haha, yes Bamf is fighting the rise in obesity! And I also would rather have bamf not worn like a dress.

[BonitaApplebum]

First of all, I think the Date Rape shirt is an awful concept. Not to sound like some uptight feminist or anything, but if I ever saw someone wearing it I'd immediately think they were completely ignorant and insensitive. And I love Tribe (obviously) so that has nothing to do with it. Second, your comments on making a 4X shirt is enough to have me never support your company.

Edit: OK, that was pretty harsh, so I don't sound completely negative...the design on the shirt IS pretty clean and well done.

[Hendriks]

^you would only feel that way if you didn't understand the concept behind the shirt. DUM has already explained what it means. and honestly, if someone wear sa 4xl shirt they either need to try to lose weight for health reasons and their own well-being or wear shirts that fit them.

You need to get ya sense-of-humour-cancer diagnosed, immediately. Wow just wow!

[dblockdosmil]

I edited my post before you posted this because I realize that was a little harsh on my part. I still stand behind my original statement though.

| do understand the CONCEPT behind the shirt, I just think it's ridiculous to even execute it. Then again, I guess that's "art". As for the 4X thing, I agree that weight loss is important, but as a t-shirt company you should want to reach all customers, and even if you don't want to make bigger sizes, you shouldn't be an ass to someone who voices an interest in your designs but happens to be bigger.

[J]

Larger sizes cost more money, More for shirts, and a new screen, cause a screen that looks good on a medium, won't look good on a 4xl.

[J]

One, more thing, Wheres Locust?

[Hendriks]

Co-sign on you post Jmoney. and BonitaAppleBum, i highly doubt the person who wanted a 4xl is reall all that big, he probably just wants too look "gangsta"

and JMoney, Loc doesnt post much on here anymore, check out Bapetalk though, he's always there.

[BonitaApplebum]

No I know that and I completely understand why, as a small starting company, you wouldn't be able to swing that just yet. It does cost more money and the size difference IS a decent one. I just didn't think the weight comments were right, considering it was towards someone who actually wanted to buy a shirt and support the company.

[Kajjjj]

Someone give this dude a hug. And that other dude that asked for the 4XL if that's even possible. E-motional.

[J]

Bonita....Did you already turn in your mandatory Hypebeast boob/booty shot?

[Kajjjj]

Oh shit it's a bitch? Dang! That clears everything up now. What a waste of posts mayyn.

LOL STFU AND GET BACK TO MAKING ME DINNER WOMAN

[B.Hicks]

sensative ass bitch
ROFL!! not smooth at all..

she is being overly feminist though.. there's a bigger concept of the DR shirt than whats on the surfuce. if shes really a TCQ fan she should realise that.

[Subculture]

Everybody should calm down....some of the comments made are outa line..

[Kajjjj]

***** wtf u on homie......... 3Xls fit me its just that im kinda tall soo when i wear a 3xl it fits very uncomforable and plus when u wash them they go up in the back .........im sorry im not a little ass kid and dont fit into a fucken medium......i was makein a suggestion but i guess yall want to fit in with these other brands.......
Chill guy! Didn't think that shit would pump your adrenaline at all. Guess I underrestimated the sensitivity.

[Kajjjj]

Everybody should calm down....some of the comments made are outa line..
Alot of members need to let go of they menstrual cycle, seriously. People be taking this internet shit more serious than life itself. Pitiful.

Turn your back from the keyboard for a minute, or 2, take a deep breath, it'll be alright.

[eyes]

dum is just exercising brand management. its not about being fat or costing extra money. he probly just doesnt want his line to be associated with giant dress-like tshirts...

for those who actually fit the 4xl shirt its just unfortunate that the "white tee" trend ruined it for you.

[Hendriks]

^Easy with the e-beef guys. let's try to keep this thread on topic. It's about BAMF!

[Admin]

No more hate or ban. And stop it with the bolding of all your posts.

constructive critism please

[TheFly]

Speaking of constructive criticism, has anyone mentioned the use of copyrighted artwork?

[kingkelly]

^i dont think smaller companies or kids who screen shirts in their basement need to worry about that.

Otherwise mishka and L&D etc.. would all be out of business.

[RyanRodriguez]

Alright, this is no hate thread so don't try to run up in mah eah talkin all that raspy shit try'na ass me shii, much respect to DUM for The Bamf and learning illustrator and what not takin x-men covers but yo does anybody here think the logo looks like the Being Hunted logo mixed with the Brknhome logo....? I was "surfin" the net and I just noticed how much it looks alike.


DUM? anything to say?

[ice grillz]

even if they were the same font, it wouldn't really matter since the name is different.

[barrow]

I think you could make a better argument for it looking like Fucking Awesome's logo.

I seem to remember DUM or Kate explaining where that typeface came from though...or maybe not...I forget.

[Insight51]

Im still seeing "no fear" in it a little more...

[bnj]

lol dorks.

You have nothing and you are just a hater.

I cant believe you even wasted time putting those 2 logo's together in one picture.

Wow, some kids will do anything to try and hate on shit

EDIT: Nvrmind he was probably just kidding, but if he wasn't then I stand by what I said.

[bnj]

im calling everyone a dork.
but if it makes you internet angry then yes, yes i am.

[LOCHNESS]

Nah not those logos...I could see Fuckin Awesome but who cares totally different things...totally different brands...

[Hendriks]

MFS, he wasn't only kidding. The dude made a nother thread and put the exact same thing in it as that post he made in here.

[Jack]

seriously? that's just ridiculous...

[eyes]

sorry to break the tread of haterage, but i figured since we're all such great pals i'd put a link to bamf! on the obscene website. take care now, bye bye then

dude ura hater. look at the hate you spread towards me. I like DUM's shit, I just thought it looked similar. Your sick man, and you make me sick.

edit: Also I didn't post in here and then make a thread, I made the thread then it got locked. also i put it in the wrong section...but seriously MFS you need to cool it with that bullshit.

[DUM]

Cool, eyes.

This thread is about BAMF, if we feel like you're being a hater towards BAMF then we're going to call you out on it. If you are going to critique the brand atleast find something legitimate to say, not some lame ass font comparison.

WE? it's just you man. Keep your negativity outta here. IT WAS A COMPARISON OHH IM A HATER....c'mon now...BAMF isn't original at all so I dont know why you frontin on me cuz of some font similarities. I know DUM drew it out himself cuz I've seen all his graff stickers posted. You're just a hater dude tryin' to pin shit on me for speaking my mind. You're WACK SON!

you're pretty Mother Fucking Stupid.|0 &)

quit hating ya hater

[emmanuelabor]

for the people knockin big shirts

some people really DO wear 4X shirts...not everybody is 5'7" 122 lbs, or likes to wear shirts that show off thier nipples and cut off circulation in thier torso. A 4X can be worn without lookin like a dress or looking "hood" or "gangsta" or whatever else some might call it

I totally understand the cost issues as far as the charge on bigger shirts and a new screen though

[TheFly]

The Bamf! logo looks a little like those two... sure...
but... its nothing like them really.

Sure its four letters and has an exclamation point with a sense of movement like the BGHD! logo but its not nearly as smooth and the typeface is completely different.

The other logo has a distressed typeface and sort of the same movement but come on... thats all you got?

Isnt the BAMF! type taken from a comic also? or is it a house typeface?
Either way the BAMF! logo is pretty decent for what it is.
Hate on.

[SOLE]

hey dum, i like the new homepage, but can i make a small suggestion?

you put up a picture which is a link, but on my computer, the pic is too big, which puts a scroll bar on the right...you should make the picture a backround image instead, and just have the whole page one big link. also, the backround of the picture isnt pure black, its a little bit of a purplish black, so theres a line where it ends and the black background begins. otherwise, nice.

quit hating ya hater

How old are you kid? Grow the fuck up you whiney bitch, Obviously you have no love for this fucking brand so get the fuck outta the thread unless you have something new or legitimate to say for or against it. Stop wasting thread space with your whiney bitch ass comments. You got called out because you did a dumbass thing so fucken deal with it, and maybe next time put a little more thought into the shit you post. END OF FUCKING ARGUEMENT.

[DUM]

Thanks Sole, I'll change that. And the logo is closely based of a non-free BlamBot (dope ass comic fonts)...I retraced it and made the exclamation cos theirs was wack. Then arranged it to my liking...and I like the logo and I think it serves it's purpose well.

[shant]

DUM, your PM box is full.

[DUM]

Not anymore.
