Want an AS.org Shirt?

[Jesse]

Annexion has connections and says we can get ActionScript.org shirts printed very cheaply; we're thinking about $10 - 15 USD for a shirt with the simple AS.org logo printed on it (or possibly something else), including shipping.

We've never really botherred to think of this before but I figured I'd ask and see if there was demand for such a product. Please vote according to your size. It's not a binding contract, we just need ideas of sizes.

As always, feel free to flame the idea and express other ideas if you have any.

[senocular]

Id get one for $10

[Jesse]

Out of interest, what does a (cheap) T cost in the US?

[Timmee_3Styler]

5 bucks in CDN
so i guess 3 bucks in USD?

but those are on supersale.....when i head to the states
their mostly 10 bucks for the cheapones

[annexion]

Well, you can get the discounted ones that no one wants for $3.

Depending on the store you'd see them for $10 -$25.

[Jesse]

This is an unrelated post to test the changes I jsut made to server time and their effects on post order in the forums

[black]

do we have many sorts to pick up ? ;) it maye be better if we can see some samples here~ :)

[farafiro]

think 10$ or less would be cool but Shipping ??

[snapple]

Not trying to push the price up or anything, but $10 - isn't that like £7 - how can you get a shirt for that, well one that would last and that feels ok ??? Or have i been getting ripped all my life.

Anyway - i think it's a GREAT idea - and i would definitely buy one, i put myself down for a medium.

Regards, snapple :)

[Billy T]

not sure that I'm ready to reveal my geekiness to the world...

**** it I'll take 10...

Oh, and I most definitely want one, if you hadn't gathered that...

[Sualdam]

And what size is 'large'?

In the UK that would fit a dwarf who was a bit on the large side.

[annexion]

How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

[Sualdam]

I am 6' 1" and I have a 46-48" chest.

I know that 'large' will not fit my shoulders (been there, done that, got the T-shirt, so to speak) :D

Always the shoulders... :(

[annexion]

That wouldn't be a problem. We'd just have to know for sure that you wanted one as it's an odd size.

Not all of us have chests like an ox :p

[Sualdam]

Seriously, at that price I'd take a couple if I was sure they were big enough (nice if there were different colours or designs).

Shipping would be pretty minimal for just T-shirts.

(You edited out that 'geekdom' bit - I liked that :))

I always thought most people went for XL sizes - they always sell out first. Then you find that they only have sizes for strange people left.

[magicwand]

as long as the price is under 20 us $ and it is good quality shirt
i dont mind..
i also think AS.org should make some profit.
it will be used to better this place and that is good thing.
i guess many design selection will raise more money :)

how about logo "i am an ActionScript Flasher" with a guy with a longcoat. :)

[baby_annie]

I think 15-20$ (included shipping) isn't cheap but it's ok. But I'm very small and thin, you will have to have a special T-shirt for me.
:D

[xxlm]

Yeah I would like one, perhaps two, or 3, or more... No no stop here... LOL

But I wonder, where you will made it? In AUS, in US.

Else for the price... Hmmm. I think there is only the guy really liking the forum that will buy the shirt so... I think you should put a price not so cheap. I mean, take some $$ for you (to pay the new host eg).

I think 20$ is ok for me (with ship in it neturaly)... And I'm eager to see the design and buy them... :p

CU... (???and why not other goodies???)

PS:
Simply wash it with hot water, and all wil be ok. It's a specialist talking to you. All my pullover are ok for barbie pupets...

[senocular]

lets face is, as.org is no homestarrunner.com ;) I dont think THAT many Tshirts will be sold, especially at a higher or 'normal' tshirt price with profit involved. I say break even and get the brand out there. With people wearing the shirt, awarenss will increase and with that viewers and (hopefully) advertisers. A lower price will appeal more to the casual as.org member and will get more shirts sold and out there on the streets.

...thats just me :)

[xxlm]

And just an idea... Take a photo of a noraml man (with his height written with near him), then we could knwo how the shirt is. Casue yeah large is so different depends of country. Look large for US and large for vietnam. Hmmm...

So I think a photo of a guy (you?) wearing the shirt with the height (weight?) could be nice...

CU

[xxlm]

I'm ok with you senocular but do you think that ALL the member will get this shirt. I think that most of the buyer are regular user. And like other forum there is only few regular members (compared to the number of existing user.. hé).

So i dunno.

But, I know that everybody wanna the cheaper shirt he can. But for as it's time to get some $$... So... :confused:

I agree.

This started out as a 'nice to have' because someone involved at AS.org had contacts.

It doesn't need to turn into a whole new business plan... :D

Ha ha - I like that. Do we get some say on the design of it at all ... or am I just being picky now? I reckon we could get some great designs or funny slogans from some of the guys here.

Oh yeah ... and stick me down for one too:cool:

[Sualdam]

Umm. When I said I'd buy a couple, I meant as in 'normal T-shirts with the AS.org logo'.

We're in danger of ending up with something involving the Hulk, Spiderman, and the Teletubbies here.

If anything childish/dumb (including wordz with l3tt3rs or 'z's in it) is involved, count me out ;)

[annexion]

This is simply a thread to see if there is enoogh of a demand to even implement the idea. There are no "designs" as of yet.

[McGiver]

@sualdam: how about this one: Act10nzcr1pt.0rg rulz :D

[Sualdam]

Yes, that's just the sort of thing I meant ;)

[linckx]

I'd get it to support,
but would only wear it if it were funny or really cool (but to be safe go for the first, humor is more spread than style ;))

robin

[magicwand]

We have many designer in AS.org
y not submit our own version of design and pick few.
i'm sure it will be quality designs.

[Billy T]

something clean and very very simple

[linckx]

clean as in -- not dirty so I won't have to bother my mom for cleaning and ironing? -- ;)

[Billy T]

nah I meant clean as in 'no porn'...

[linckx]

héhé,

I can understand that :D but wouldn't it be a great campaign then to lure young internet addicts to the right side of the net?

robin

[Sualdam]

I think they know enough about porn as it is :(

My money is on a black shirt with the actionscript part of 'ActionScript.org' in white and/or a white one with the actionscript part in black. Either on the breast or across the chest, but definitely NOT on the back.

A tie-dye is also an acceptable alternative T-shirt colour - but that's as far as I'll go. The Hulk, Spidey, Keanu Reeves (especially r33v3z), or anything else that cries 'this shirt was designed by a retarded 5 year old' is right out. :D

[Billy T]

you're all heart...I bet people call you 'robin hood' right? :D

[Sualdam]

I prefer 'sir' ;)

[Billy T]

hehe I was talking to Robin ... Sir ;)

[linckx]

héhé LOL :D

goodnight chaps!

[JHallam]

The idea sounds great, Im with the couple of different designs, simple and clear :)

Sounds all good, could we not all design a logo and then select two of the all round favourites? ;)

[Sualdam]

The ActionScript[org] logo is already there, isn't it? I thought that was the idea - to put that on a T-shirt.

I never thought about it like you just said :confused:

I'm wondering how Annexion will get 256-colour designs 'done cheaply' :D (well, someone's bound to come up with a rainbow design, aren't they?)

May as well go out and buy a Versace T-shirt, then :)

[annexion]

Sualdam, that's exactly the issue with having a bunch of designs. The price we have is based on two colors. I got the quote assuming the logo would be on it.

It would be cheaper for a single color though, as logic would tell you. I guess we shall see.

[xxlm]

Yup i'm agree for the logo part, + somthing else I think... O r many design...

i know, i'm saying nothing new, but I'm one more man telling this.

[Sualdam]

Yeah. I've had T-shirts made in bulk before and I know what you mean.

I know it makes me sound like a party-pooper, but if the question is simply 'if-we-do-it-will-you-buy-it', the answer is yes or no.

If it's about designs, well thats infinity+1 possibilities straight away :) Maybe I could get one in time for Christmas 2010...

[Sualdam]

http://www.snowdogdesign.co.uk/testloc/shirt.jpg

I mean, what IS the problem here?

[xxlm]

Yeah, but I prefer a white one with the 'gray blue' and orange logo of AS... ;)

[farafiro]

I can see it's taking all our imaginations here
lol
I once suggested to make some car/..... stickers with the logo and the website address, but wasn't a good idea - as i was told

but I think this must be thought about deeply, like knowing first for such sites, how many or did they sold any T-Shirts at all (with the price of course, for the members or others, ........)

Also, as it'd be sold abroad where they were manufactured, I say the price should be collected first

and a lotta things should be considered other than the design now

[linckx]

I mean, what IS the problem here?

it's a V-neck ;)


just kidding of course, I'd settle for that...

robin

[Sualdam]

Originally posted by linckx

You want a turtle-neck, maybe? ;)

[linckx]

héhé, it's all the same for me,

I'd buy it anyway to support ;)
But I'm a heavy fan of polo's (not the brand, the type of shirt) and 2nd hand hippie-shirts... they rock!

robin

[Sualdam]

I don't know why I did the v-neck - I was just in a hurry.

Mind you, it seems that v-T-shirts are the 'fashion' at the moment.

Like you, I don't really mind (except a turtle-neck is off the list to be sure). Ooo. And anything with a hood. That would have 'l33t' and 'z's written all over it, too. :D

[linckx]

I'm really into t's that are really to small... well, I mean they have to be stretch without being a strech-nylon or something like that...

My mom could shoot me a couple of weeks ago... bought a really cool, simple nike t-shirt, but it was kiddies size, exactly how I wanted it... it's not like I'll be growing out of it soon ;)

robin

[Sualdam]

I prefer something that could have 'Goodyear' written on the side...

[linckx]

if you put it vertically it can fit on a small waist too you know ;):p

robin

[Sualdam]

I just thought, maybe the logo 'ActionScript[org]' would go round you twice?

You could have like, 'onScri' on your chest and 'pt[org]Acti' round the back.

That'd be unique. :)

[linckx]

ladies and gentlemen!

we've got a winner! :D

robin

[McGiver]

hmm, maybe you could take a normal sized one and wear it as a coat.

How about a shirt in pink with 2 breasts on it and the text ACT10NZCR1PT.0RG RULZ?!
I think this would make everyone happy!
Maybe we could add a GOOD CHARLOTTE TOO on the back!
and a Microsoft Logo, and how about: "I wasted 2 years of my life in a f*****g Forum, and all I got is this motherf*****g T-Shirt!"

[linckx]

there there, I feel the creativity flowing ;):p

robin

[JHallam]

Whats the problem there? I just think if you let others who will actually buy this item, we are all designers....majority would like to have a go design their own concept. I just think if we pick a couple from the designs then maybe we can have a sweet T-shirt which will not be GEEKY and maybe help Jesse with sales.

Anyone can have a simple T - shirt print with a name on it.

That's my view

[red penguin]

Put me down for one, sure.

And for the record, V-Neck t-shirts have always been in fashion for me...and what's wrong with it being geeky? Geek t-shirts are cool, man...

:]

[JHallam]

How about we all grab this shirt template -
http://www.oneinstinct.nl/as-shirt-tmp.gif




then design our own little something...

example
http://www.oneinstinct.nl/as-shirt.gif

[linckx]

what a nice idea...

I like the x-es by the way, don't look cheap or nothing, good job man!

robin

[senocular]

Here's my design

http://www.oneinstinct.nl/as-shirt-tmp.gif


Brilliant, I say, BRILLIANT!

[farafiro]

lol

I can see that I-Shirt fever has just started

[magicwand]

i see we already got 16 order of shirt.
:)
i guess prining few hundred will be safe bet.

[Sualdam]

Hey, Annexion...

You know when you hold out a carrot to a horse (or a cookie to a dog) and it nearly takes your hand off?

Deja vu?

[Sualdam]

If you want wacky unique designs, you can do it yourself.

http://www.t-shirt-shop.co.uk/

If you want to order in bulk and be sure you please the majority, unique designs aren't necessarily the way to go.

[JHallam]

wacky and unique? that site sucks, you cant design anything unique on a site like that. I'm sure most of us here are designers.

So whats the point using other site when we have a board of designers anyway? I don't see the logic!

[Sualdam]

Well, if you check it out properly you you'll see that you can upload any image and have it put on the T-shirt. Yes. Even ones you design yourself.

So actually, I don't understand YOUR beef with the site (I only posted it as a joke anyway :rolleyes: )

Original quote:

Annexion has connections and says we can get ActionScript.org shirts printed very cheaply; we're thinking about $10 - 15 USD for a shirt with the simple AS.org logo printed on it (or possibly something else), including shipping.

Translation: Annexion's getting a freebie (sort of).

I'm still trying to figure out where it implied that you'd be able to design your own in a range of materials and colours, with free fitting, and free laundering for a year after purchase.

Translation: Annexion's getting taken advantage of (sort of) and this won't happen after all.

:D

I did, but why design and bother uploading an image, when you can just design it yourself? lol I suppose if I was going to order it from those, I would but I'd rather design it myself in illustrator or something. Why not? thats my job! That's all the point I was getting at!

"I don't understand YOUR beef with the site" BEEF? :rolleyes:

[Sualdam]

I know, I know.

I still think they should just say 'hey, this is what we can get. Who'd buy it if we got it?'

(Actually, that's what they did say, but....) :(

[snapple]

I have to say (and i do have to) - in the middle of a thunderstorm and experiencing a very runny nose...that i am with Mr GRaPHiX_FReaK on this one - i don't see why we should start using other sites for this.

Yeah Mr GRaPHiX_FReaK, like yeah man, dude - don't you get it man, why are you down wiv da beef ??? Take a dive and release some of that pork chop - like cha'....get down bro, don't beef my mum !

My mum is un-beef-able

It's all a bit of fun.

snapple :)

[Sualdam]

Aaargh!

I didn't mean we should either.

I posted it to try and make a point to everyone who is missing the point - that Annexion is getting a freebie (-ish) on a bulk order of simple T-shirts.

Everyone wanting their own design (and talking about 'design' competitions) is NOT going to equate to a bulk order of a simple T-shirt. If they want something personal then THEY could use one of those sites. That was my (not very good) point :D

We already have a logo. Why the hell change it (and take advantage of Annexion) to boot?

The best part is, most of the combatants here probably won't buy one in the end because of the cost :confused:

[snapple]

Yeah - ok, i see. No offence meant Sualdam - see you were just pointing out the logical.

Aplogies.

Regards, snapple :)

[Sualdam]

None taken - and none intended to anyone else, of course. ;)

[xxlm]

The ggod thing could be Jesse making a database where we can sign in, to tell that we ENGAGE to buy X T-Shirt (choosing how much we wanna buy). Then he (they with strock) could know how t-shirt to do...

just an idea.

[pinkaboo]

Hell yeah, I'll hand in my totally awesome street cred and sex appeal *cough* and prepare to be pulled over by the fashion police and charged with posession of an AS.org t-shirt.

Will they come in pink?

;)

*K*

[Sualdam]

The way this thread is going? Count on it.

[McGiver]

nice one @ GRaPHiX_FReaK! but remember that we have to pay for every additional color!

here is my one!

http://nobodyxxl58.port5.com/Justforkicks/t-shirt2.jpg

[baby_annie]

Hi,
How to pay the T-shirt, if I want to buy one?
Can i send cash by mail?

[spriggan]

you could open up a AS org store at someplace like Cafe Press (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/index.aspx). They you wouldn't have to worry about ordering a certain number of shirts they just make them as you order them.

[Billy T]

sure yeah PM me and I'll give you the address :rolleyes:

[baby_annie]

to Billy-T
Do u have the AS T-shirt? :D
---
I think we will ask here how many people want to buy the T-shirt?
I will buy want q^.^p

[Billy T]

umm errr sure yeah I have whole truck load of them that I'm looking to get rid of...

just send me all your cash and you can have the truck as well....

cheers ;)

[boyzdynasty]

Have not read all the post only the first 5....hehe....

but anyways...I would buy one. A medium for me!!

Average priced T-Shirts I buy cost about $15 (USD) ....usually cost more but I tend to get discounts :D

[boyzdynasty]

just a suggestion...
about the part "make-em as they are orderd"... can we get are nicknames printed on there?

It would come in handy when we all meet one another. *lol

[Jesse]

Nah in order for them to be reasonably priced we have to order a batch of them, hence this survey

[boyzdynasty]

o..i..c
I guess I can always air-bursh mines when I get it.

[spriggan]

i forgot to mention this before but I'd like one, but it would have to be like an XL or XXL depending on if it's like preshrunk.

[Sualdam]

Ah, good!

Another fully grown, normal-sized person ;)

[linckx]

are you calling me little? ;)

robin

[boyzdynasty]

I guess I'm little too :(

[Sualdam]

Did someone speak? :D

From what I saw here, EVERYONE is little - they all wanted size SD (super-dwarf), just like you ;)

[linckx]

and how big might you be? in cm? or in px :D

robin

[boyzdynasty]

ah.... i was ranked little and now....dwarf.... oh no...

I'm shrinking....where is my milk-N-spinach?! :D
