Might Not Go In General, But Oh Well. Is There A Shirt Out There Which Has The Jennifer Government Symbol With NationStates Underneath? If There Is, Where Can I Find And Buy It?

Good question. I'd buy one if it was large enough. With a big eye on it. Not one of these mamby-pamby teeny-weeny lil' things you need a magnifying glass to tell what it is from across a room kinda dealies.

That would make a pretty kick ass t-shirt. Just the big eye and barcode; with nothing else. I think Max needs to get cracking on that. I'd buy one.

to Cafepress!!

i'd buy one :)
should have a specific 'generalite' one too.... "no RP" on the back or something

I'd buy! I don't usually go for the T-shirt statment thing, but....I'd make an exception for NS.

either we email max and ask him to do it, or ask him to release the rights to his logo (which i assume is copyrighted) to us/one of us... hmmm the logistics of this could be weird

that would be a kickass shirt. you could also have it customized to put your nation w/flag and brief summary on back.

Oooh, nice innovation there.

I think the non-text version is the most striking. Leave the words for the reverse.

Agreed, and the reverse text should include the "Because sometimes..." tagline.

Yeah, I agree. It looks cool. I want one.

Fantastic idea especially with own nation stuff on the back.
We'd buy one maybe more, you know like one for work, one for the weekend, one for visiting the inlaws, one for nights out with buddies.

Hey and if they added a bumper sticker with every t-shirt, even better!

Or maybe with the forum titles on them.

But then everyone would just get "Pimp."

(I miss the old ones :()

How about the eye, and our nation names on the back. And then we somehow differentiate between the RP shirts and the generalite shirts.


Only forumites get the shirts.

Hmm, that would be awesome. I would definately get one.

i just noticed that the 'glint' on the eye is shaped like a heart! it only really shows up in this close up version.

That would be cool, but it would have to be offered in grey, black or blue, because I don't wear white.

It would be cool if it had "generalite" or "RPer" on it somewhere. Maybe with nation name and flag on the back.

I'd buy one. I'd get the one that says "RPer," of course, as I don't really consider myself a generalite.

Or maybe with the forum titles on them.

haha i wouldn't... i'm proud of the Honorary Spam Forum Owner title ;)


though i agree that
a) it should also be available in grey (to suit the forums and the banner etc)
b) should have nation name and possibly flag on the back
c) should differentiate between generalite and RPers... maybe a whole raft of tshirt designs could be made and people just pick the one they like best. not really difficult tbh.
d) the generalite t-shirt should be cooler ;)

d) the generalite t-shirt should be cooler ;)

Well it will be.

Mainly for the reason that it won't have "RPer" written on it ;)

:p

Argh!

I wants one!

*waits impatiently*

Great idea. I'd get one.

I'd definitely get one - what a great idea! I wonder could we have women's versions as well as standard t-shirts? Just as they're a slightly different shape (doesn't matter to me personally, but some of the ladies might prefer it).

Personally I'd prefer a black one (I rarely wear anything other than black), but it's no big deal - it would be cool whatever the case.

I'd like one. Most of my posts are RPs so my post count doesn't get nuked when General threads get deleted. :)

i might have just emailed Max about the idea.... *shiftyeyes* :)

Oooh, nice innovation there.


or you dont even need the description just your flag on the back

Indeed and it would make people who don't want to buy the book not feel guilty.

+2 for Thoughtfulness :D

There were NationStates T-shirts for a sale a while back--not especially fancy-looking ones, to be sure, but T-shirts. Hardly anybody bought one, so the shop got closed down.

Anyway, there are a bunch of annoying issues with using that eye logo. The design is owned by Random House and the merchandising rights are owned by Warner Bros: to produce this shirt, you need both. Or at least, to produce it legally. If you did it on a small scale and not for profit, I wouldn't think anyone would mind.

No profit?
But...but..I want money :(
Damned copyright laws

Dang. Those shirts would be so cool, too.

Hey i cant even remember my title it is a bit well out there... it is something like ZX81 H4x0r0r... i rock!!

Anybody knowledgable about screen-process printing? Full-colour (four-colour) printing is pricey to be sure. If we can somehow manage to get our acts together enough to get an order filled, distributed and paid for, we might need to look at trimming in a few spots - like printing on the reverse, or having customizable text.

This question would be for Violet - does anybody have a high-resolution version of the eye graphic handy? Say 300 dpi or higher, in CMYK color mode?

Holy crap, a cameo appearance by [violet]. Time to conspire...

Sounds like a Cafe Press (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/) opportunity! :D

This place is addictive enough to merit a shirt, I agree. I don't only want to spend hours of my life here, but I want to spend money as well.. and wear the merchandise. ..Really! :D

HELL YES!!! Especially the first one!

I totally agree!

Man - now I really want one of those shirts.

(I wonder how they'd look in black?)

Ditto, they are the shit. How cool is just a HUGE eye and barcode?
Very cool indeed.

(I wonder how they'd look in black?)
very well... by popular demand...

though its harder to do mock-ups on black cos the logo itself is white... so excuse the moderatley crappy quality of those

<snip>Sweeeet. The white on black one reminds me of The Ring, for some reason.
