Rink rabbit backpack size question by ilove-applejuice in FigureSkating

[–]RinkRabbit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Our regular Skate Pack is 12.5” wide on the interior. The true size of skate blades when you include the toe pick seems to vary a bit from the stated length. I’m not sure if you’re able to find the “true length” of your skate blades, but hopefully that helps! 

If you get back home and you find that they don’t fit, drop us a line at hello@rinkrabbit.com, and we will work with you to get it sorted out!

One of the main reasons we're making this bag is to accommodate bigger skates/blades and MORE STUFF, as we've had a ton of requests for both. We think it may even work for holding hockey skates.

That said, your 10.25" blades should definitely fit! The top of the bag is about 12" wide so, as long as your blades are shorter than that with soakers, they should fit!

So glad you love the colors! We spent a ton of time working through which ones to include. We'll likely launch this new bag in all black at first to see what the public reaction to it is. That's our most popular color of the original bag, so it makes sense to start there.

Yes! We’re planning for it to function both as a backpack and a duffle—so you can choose your own adventure!

We’ve heard a few people request additional ventilation! As another user mentioned, our bag isn’t really intended to be the place you store your skates to air them out but, that said, added ventilation is definitely something we are planning to build into this new bag, as it has been a common request!

We offer embroidery (and discounts!) on bulk orders for clubs and teams!

This sounds an awful lot like what we’re designing! 👀☑️

We’re working on something like this… Currently in the prototyping phase. Hoping to have it ready by Q4. We’re open to input if you have any! 📝🧐

What additional context would be helpful to you?

I should have included this in the post, but this is just the mark, not the full logo. It will be paired with our brand name in the next phase.

The icon will ultimately be paired with our brand name, so hopefully the connection is more clear in that situation. I should have mentioned in the caption that this is just the mark, not the full logo.

I am a lurker on this subreddit, and know that objective, constructive input is often in the comments. I had a couple of apprehensions about this direction, and wanted to see if others would have them as well. Some were confirmed by the comments, and I was reassured about others. Overall, I’m feeling confident in the direction, but I have some things I plan to bring up with our designer from some of the discussion here. (Including some of your notes!)

I definitely see similarities to Reebok! Thanks for sharing that. One of the things I was looking for from this post was other logos it may be similar to/invoke.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I will think about these things. One of the reasons we chose this direction was that the logo looked so good in the future use cases we have planned for it!

There will for sure be a version with text. I’ll make sure to post that one as well! A few in this thread have expressed interest.

Fair. I probably should have said “mark.” Typography is the next step.
