Sohc4.net was launched in 1994 as some sort of message board. Glenn and I designed that anniversary t-shirt and we sold it in the cafepress shop.

I have run this site since 2007 when I took it over fromJohn Burrin. It was Honda-sohc.co.uk then and again, it was run on some ancient message board software.

I’ll drop Glenna line and ask about the .net anniversary.

Might be a fund raiser as well - sounds a great idea a 25th celebration- hope they are cotton as I can't wear man made stuff next to my skin.

I love it when an ancient thread like this pops up again.

I will ask Glenn if he has any plans.

The difficult bit is the design as anything with the Honda logo or style gets vetoed by the merchandise company.

Any graphic designers on here who’d like a crack at this?

As discussed on my previous thread re the side panel badges, how about a T shirt with all the side panel badges on it, 350, 400, 500, 550, 650, 750. Anyone who looks at it would know what they are BUT it shouldn't upset Mr Honda, saying that nothing upsets Mr Honda as he's dead. Odd you can buy T shirts with the bike shown on it, including the Honda logo and nothing gets said.

I did try that Ken. It was a while ago.

I photoshopped a 500 side panel badge to clean up the edges and enhance the colours a bit.

Cafepress would not allow me to upload it for copyright reasons.

Maybe things have changed.

I guess if you took it to a local company you could get t-shirts but that would involve stocking and shipping etc. The online sites offer made-to-order merchandise delivered to the buyer and send you a cut of the profit (not much).

You can get your design on mugs, shirts, anything really.

How about printing 'SOHC.CO.UK' using the official Honda badge type face.
 Then below print 'Anniversary 1994 - 2024' using the same type face as displayed on the side panel to designate the engine size and the word 'Four'.

Sometimes a clean and simple message on a tee shirt is more effective.


Happy Festive Season
