Collared LabVIEW Shirts

Hooovahh — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:22:41 GMT

So over the years I have acquire a handful of NI shirts. Different events usually give away T-Shirts with whatever new thing NI is promoting. I have a few that just say LabVIEW, a few from NI-Week and a few others. I try to wear these often when working because it helps establish our (the company's) relationship with NI and LabVIEW.

The problem I have is these are T-Shirts and I work in a professional environment where the dress code doesn't explicitly state T-Shirts can't be worn, but most people know to wear a collared shirt all week. You can get away with a T-Shirt on Friday and no one cares but again no official statement for a casual dress.

At an event at NI-Week this year I was given a super spiffy button up, collared, plaid shirt that has LabVIEW embroidered on the left pocket. This is the exact same thing I try to wear throughout the week and I love it. Does anyone have any information about how to get a hold of more shirts like this? Does anyone have any contacts for getting more shirts like this? I am totally willing to pay for them (as I would any other work shirt). If I could I would have my wardrobe completely made up of these shirts and wear them exclusively for work.

Well, I have my CLD, CLA, and now 2 LabVIEW Champion polo shirts. But the CLD isn't really valid for me anymore. But that still gives me 3 LabVIEW shirts to wear during the week. But I'm all for generic LabVIEW shirts!

There used to be an NI store where we could buy these things. I'll have to dig through some old emails to see if I can find the information about it again.

Kelly Hunka had those made exclusively for the closed-door event you attended. As far as I know, they are not in production, but you will have noticed NI themselves were walking around that day in the same style shirts (very cowboy-esk and ergo very Texan). I myself love mine, and would also like more. I'll message Kelly and see what she says...

Awesome. If nothing else I thought about having some made. Of course not owning the NI or LabVIEW trademark could be a very grey area for me. It's not like I would be trying to counterfit official ones, if there was no means for me to buy official ones.

When I recerted I asked if it came with a new polo. I was told I could purchase one for a price. when I asked where to send the po (stating similar reasonings) the polo arrived gratis. Contact cert at ni.

The store is closed officially. We could probably twist "someone's" arm in certification and perhaps get a new launch.

Kelly has said she had the shirts made especially for that closed-door group and will look the possibility of getting more made up. If there's sufficient interest I guess they may consider getting a batch prepared and made available for sale? Who else might like one? Need to bear in mind NI might limit access to the members of that group as they're meant to be exclusive.

The shirts were this range:
