I'm looking for interesting ways to fund future tournaments and reporting - one way is t-shirts. I'm in talks with players and getting their permission to use their names/share profits with them on t-shirts with their name on them. The only guy I've finalized anything with is MorroW so that's all I can show off right now but I think it's a good idea!
I'm looking for constructive feedback on the designs and any ideas you have - I'll make whatever you want! Halp!
(almost all the shirts are available in at least 31 different colors - if one isn't, I can fix it so that it is.)
http://www.printfection.com/sccenter for some better pictures or to buy it
+ Show Spoiler +
if you have any t-shirt designers that you really like, id love to see them - gaming or not. links please!

sAviOr should look like sAviOr instead of sAvioR
|
i always wanted to see a shirt that said NO PARKING with a circle and cross through a tank in siege mode
|
Whilst it;s abit old, my friend suggested a Reaver and a Shuttle hi-fiving and saying "BFF for life"
|
Pretty sweet. Just my personal opinion, but I always like the "inside joke" shirts. So all the other nerds get it, but nobody else knows how nerdy you are. The Bonjwa nicknames, for example, I love.
|
You need better designs I think. There are dozens of websites with gaming shirts out there.
|
As much as I love typography, a lot of these shirts with just pure standard font text and no illustrations or anything aren't exactly the type of thing I'm looking for in the shirt market. Neither would I wear a silhouette of America with a blue sticker that says "USA" on it.
I think the same thing about thehandsomenerd shirts- they just don't appeal to me. Simplicity is a good concept but I need shirts that don't look like I'm wearing stickers.
Hopefully this doesn't sound insulting I just mean this as honest critique, as a graphic design student.

That royal road shirt looks like something I'd buy.

definitely not insulting haha
i make no claim to be a great artist or t-shirt designer, you're not knocking my dream away i came here looking for real feedback and i appreciate it!
i know there are tons of gamer shirt places out there - can anyone link some that they like? im not a huge fan of shirts that scream DORK. although i am a proud little geek, i dont want my shirts saying that..
so, really, any t-shirt places anyone likes would be appreciated. ill look through recommended designs.
|
Imo the Boxer Savior Nada Iloveoov t-shirt needs something.. visual? And to me it looks really weird the way it is un-centred (And where is Flash (Semi joke))
Oh and I sort of liked the reaper/Ikarus thing. Really fitting /clever
|
Geoffolisk shirt incoming?
Yeah some of those shirts are boring, and why did you put boxer nada oov savior, if anything shouldn't it be boxoer oov nada savior flash or something
also, i don't get the constant use of a world map in most of your pictures, not sure who'd want to ptu that on their shirt.
|
I would buy the royal road and the random with dices and the bonjwa line if you added flash/ultimate weapon.
|
i would take savior of the t-shirts
|
I'd buy a few of these for sure. I especially like the manner one with the angry guy above the word. How much would these go for? 12-15$ each and I'll probably put a hundred down, pending you get some more designs going
|
I would actually wear most of the tshirts you got there. Perhaps you could concider adding some race tshirts, without them being to nerdy.

Yeah, thats an important point of designing, too. Some people are ok with displaying their nerdiness publicly, but more abstract things can tend to look better. Even if its an inside joke (aka anything Starcraft or Progaming related, when you're walking out on the streets,) some of the cooler shirts tend to be more geared towards something that can blend in.
|
Holy shit those look awesome
|
"warp all up in this prisim"
lol MorroW shirts gonna take over the world now
|
who would want a savior t-shirt after the scandal. o_O
|
I'd get the bonjwas one if you take out savior and put in flash
|
haha i didn't realize everyone wanted to erase savior from history!
ill be adding flash soon but i dont know if i want to take out savior. he was pretty damn good :[
|
is there some clever funny math thing you can do with "1a2a3a"? idk just an idea. wud probably lose its relevence

Edit: actually if you made an orange jumpsuit with the word savior on the chest and prisoner #01984 on the back I would buy that

shit, i would buy that. TL halloween party.

I would buy something related to savior scandal I think it's pretty funny. Some of your designs are ok but most are meh...like the 4 bonjwas with plain text... I would focus more on cooler catchphrase or nicer graphic with cool color.
I would not buy something that is too geeky. You can make a design that is related to starcraft but it can also be seen as an everyday normal shirt like the random ones.

you should do race-themed ones instead of bonjwa ones:
maybe:
boxer nada oov (maybe midas) flash
yellow july savior (maybe chojja or GGplay) jaedong
(maybe GARIMTO) reach nal_ra bisu stork
or at least add jaedong and flash to the bonjwa shirt

Can You Make V-Neck's?
oh and:
[Front] Ma Jae Yong [Back] I am VERY disappoint
Man these shirts are great, I would proudly wear any (or all) of them (even at the same time).
If you want to make money, go for what people will buy, and nowadays the fashion (at least in Europe) is V-neck shirts. I know some people (esp. on this forum) may be under-confident in their masculinity by thinking wearing V-neck shirts is not for men. They are wrong.
If its not too much more expensive a simple collar that finishes off in an angle would be quite spiffy and stylish. Me for example: I'd LOVE to wear the orange bonjwa shirt, but it looks pretty bad to have on a normal T-shirt under anything with a nice line to it (aka something that curves down, isin't just straight across.

foreigner i would by on the spot

just coming from someone who only buys my tshirts online from like, up and coming designer ppl
prices are way too high. teextile was a place where designers could get their designs out, and it was their passion, and they only charged 10$. if its really something you want ppl to casually purchase, your gonna have to back away from that 20$ mark

Really? I personally think 20~ is reasonable for neat shirts such as those although nothing stops people from making their own for 10$ or so and wearing them.
Also. If you are going to put player's names on the shirt make it funny or interesting. Not just a shirt saying "morrow".. Put "morrow > angry zerg player" or something remotely funny.

I made this so I can put it on a T-shirt for BlizzCon
|
oh god, try to get in contact with idra. I would buy sooo many idra shirts.
|
I'm sorry, but these are all extremely vague and/or unappealing. Id recommend getting some shirts that are more graphically interesting and more obviously related to Starcraft.

I want a stim pack shirt
black shirt + stim pack logo
maybe heal logo too

I don't know about others, but in custom T-shirts I usually look for designs that are exceptionally funny, exceptionally artistic, or blatantly repping some group I have pride in. T-shirts are basically the best and only attire where it's normal to feature a self-contained (exactly the same impression without the shirt) joke or work of art. Other clothes tend to either be innately hilarious from poor style or awesome by design.
I feel the designs here are a bit too subdued to make such impressions. Of course they're not atrocious or anything, but I usually aim for more formal attire if I want to make a more trim, quiet impression.
|
Good stuff, they look pretty good and glad someone is doing this. Some of my opinions:
I feel the designs are kind of inbetween. Not really strongly tied to sc enough, but not strong enough design-wise to stand on its own. With the exception of Royal Road, and maybe Random and Foreigner which are good enough designs even if you dont get the meanings. I generally like the decision to not be too strongly SC themed specific or be visually overwhelming- simple is good! Might just be a graphic design issue.
I also like the choices of themes. Like +3+3, manner, random dice etc. Not the super-obvious sc stuff, but still very distinctly SC. I second an apm-related shirt. Or maybe something with Korean lettering, although gotta pick carefully or it might look dumb to people that can read Korean hehe.
Really random idea( not saying it would be good) : How about one of the guy inside the missile turret.

It would be really awesome if you recruited like 1-2 designers and you all just busted out loads of designs. I'm always on the hunt for T shirts relating to things I'm into. I find they're great conversation starters when people notice or mention them in social settings.
Btw chobo, is there any way to get package discounts? I'd like to buy 5 or 6. Also, how much more expensive would it be for you to make us personalized shirts, maybe with our SC name on them? Haters gon hate.
