Would anyone be interested in a JoinFolding t-shirt? I thought it'd be a fun way to spread the word :)

I was thinking a brand-name-style logo on the front, maybe like this:

    What do you guys think? Would you buy one? I'd probably do it on Cafe Press and sell them at cost unless someone has a better idea.

    What is CafePress charging for a basic Tee these days though? I'm thinking you might be able to get away with cheaper if you source them elsewhere. Then you could sell them a bit above cost to reimburse you for time and effort, and it'd still be cheaper for the buyers than CafePress is.

    I can do a deal with a business I know who would do some good priced tee's and hoody's etc. Just let me know if you want me to look into it for the UK side of things. Either transfers or embroidered (my preference). I have just had ten polo shirts and two fleeces for a snip!

    CafePress - very high quality... But also, very very expensive. It will SURELY be cheaper to get them screen printed and buy in bulk.

    I like it! :thumbsup:

    (Better check with the 1337 designer, though.)

    How many farthings constitute a "snip"? ;D

    I think I'm gonna aim for transfer/screen printing. Embroidering is nice for polo shirts, but it looks a little funny on t-shirts IMHO and... it rubs :o

    GHoosdum, I'll look into that. The fun thing about Cafe Press though is that I can stick the logo on like 50 things at once and I don't have to worry about shipping. I also don't have to worry about fronting the cost (poor college student here) or getting left with random shirts I can't use. Maybe I'll try both? Like do a small run of lower cost shirts and then leave it on Cafe Press.

    I'll buy 10 if we can get them in triple-extra long and tripple-extra large. I loves me some big t-shirts. :cool:

    Csimon's right, where's the cog? Maybe you could play with designs with a cog behind the text on the back of the shirt?

    I vote for Screen thingy... but check around for a better price. Ctrl+Alt+Del uses a place called ZeeStuff and their t-shirts are around $15. I've bought a few and they seem fairly good quality.

    I would probably buy one or two shirts regardless of price (well, assuming they're under $40 each).

    I'd be up for buying one if the price is under $20. I really like -animal-'s design by the way. :thumbsup:

    If we happen to be deadlocked on a couple designs, it should be simple enough to have both as a choice if we do it cafe express style. I'd probably get one of each, probably each on a different color of shirt.

    I'm in if you get shirts. I'm trying to get myself back in the folding scene. Heh. I move in a couple months, and my electric bill will be a little easier to deal with, so I can run my machines more.

    any updates on how much the shirts are going to cost or when we can start ordering them?

    you T-shirt bloggers really have something going. How can I put my blogs on T-shirts without going broke. I need to make money to keep some of my web ideas alive. Just starting out doing T-shirt blogging. Any suggestions?

    well, I was hanging out, and someone told me that lot's of funny lines and opinions or suggestions are being put on t-shirts, and people are making money selling them. One of my buddies said, "yeah, that's like t-shirt blogging, putting your blogs on t-shirts" Lots of blog guys are making money doing this. So I figured it was called T-shirt Blogging. So, we just started talking about how we can make money t-shirt blogging. So, I went hunting for ideas. Any ideas on how I can become a T-shirt Blogger on the cheap

    Not as old as me, by at least 50%, and I still got it.

    Face it man, you're not old - you're just out of touch. :(

    I like the polo idea myself. Something simple with embroidery. I'm in either way.

    I can do the polo or t shirt embroidery thing if anyone were interested. I still have the machine and everything needed to produce them.

    Are the shirts available or did the idea fall through? :confused:

    Good BUMP... I would love to look into t-shirts. I'd prefer a simple silk screen t-shirt and the option to do the nice polo's like Kingfish. I'd love to have the option to buy from a nice e-Commerce site like kingfish had. :thumbsup:

    I'd be interested in nice t-shirt and polo. If the polo had a pocket, even better! (place to keep my glasses...lol)

    Haven't been online much lately...been away on business...but managed to get my three daughters' computers folding while I was visiting with them. Every computer helps!!
