***HUGE UPDATE 7/16/08 17:00 KST*** Xellos and Savior: not included with t-shirt purchase
CJ 엔투스 하계 유니폼 구매에 대한 주문이 해외에서도 빗발치고 있다. High Demand for CJ Entus Uniforms from Overseas
CJ 엔투스는 지난 15일 선수들이 착용하는 하계 공식 유니폼을 판매한다고 밝혔다. 보도가 나가고 난 뒤 국내에서는 하루 만에 사겠다는 주문이 200건 이상 들어올 정도로 성황을 이뤘다. CJ Entus revealed on the 15th that they would start selling official CJ uniform t-shirts. After the report was released, over 200 shirts were sold within one day.
그 러나 주문은 국내에서만 이뤄지지 않았다. 외국의 스타크래프트 팬 사이트인 팀 리퀴드 쪽에서 CJ 엔투스 사무국으로 직접 메일을 보내 해외에서도 CJ 엔투스 공식 유니폼을 구매할 수 있느냐는 질문이 들어왔다. 팀 리퀴드의 공식 사이트인 http://www.teamliquid.net에서는 각국에서 CJ 유니폼을 원하는 팬들이 구매 방법과 해외 배송이 가능한 지에 대해 질문이 올라오는 등 큰 관심을 보이고 있다. But orders weren't happening only inside Korea. Foreign Starcraft fansite TeamLiquid directly sent mail to the CJ Entus office asking if it could be purchased overseas. On TeamLiquid's official website there were many questions about how to purchase it and whether or not international delivery was available.
이에 CJ 엔투스 사무국은 외국인의 특성에 맞춰 100벌을 특별 주문하기로 결정했다. 또 해외 배송도 가능하도록 조치하기로 했다. Due to this, CJ has decided to meet the foreigner requests, and will create 100 shirts so they can order it. Also, they have decided to make international delivery available.
CJ 엔투스 오상헌 대리는 “WWI 참가차 프랑스에 갔을 때 외국인들이 우리나라 프로게임단의 유니폼을 갖고 싶다는 이야기를 들은 적은 있지만 이렇게 반응이 좋을 줄은 몰랐다”며 “주문 제작 제품이기에 시간이 걸리겠지만 해외 팬들이 CJ 유니폼을 구할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다”고 말했다. CJ Entus's manager Sean Oh said "When we went to France for WWI, I heard that the foreigners wanted to have progamer uniforms, but I didn't know the response would be this great. Although it may take some time for preparations, I will do my best to make sure overseas fans can purchase CJ uniforms."
The first batch of Official CJ Entus uniform t-shirts will be on sale from the 14th to the 21st.
There are only 500 in stock for the first batch.
They are sold in sizes 95, 100, and 105 in men's, and 90, 95, and 100 in women's. (approximately S/M/L, but probably runs a bit smaller than US sizes?)
They are available in both black and white, and the cost is W25,000 (~$25).
Go to www.cjentus.com to purchase. I haven't checked if they ship internationally.
*update* I went to the website and once you select the color/size shirt you want you have to login... which generally requires a Korean SSN... so I doubt they ship internationally.
If anybody in SK can buy a black one and a white one then ship it to AUS, I will seriously (read:seriously) pay good money for it. I am totally serious. I will pay via PayPal. Name your price.
Edit: If you're willing to buy and ship for the purchase/shipping price, plus extra (as thanks for your infinite kindness), please PM me.

I'd love one, but I know I'm screwed. :/
I fit womens size 100 comfortably, but I'm only a size 12 in UK t-shirts so I don't think anyone too broad across the chest will fit into these unfortunately.
I need to be Korean to order a stupid shirt? I can get all kind of stuff direct from Japan by paying more for international orders. Starcraft is supposedly so big, but the teams act like only Korean fans exist.

Welcome to the last 5 years of being a TL.net admin -_-
I would have thought international people would be able to purchase. I seriously would have thought that the BWWI demonstrated to the Koreans (atleast to MBC and CJ) that there is a foreign market there that can be tapped into.

wasnt your definition of handsomely $50 for Savior's own shirt?
I would pay $500 for sAviOr's shirt, and around $150 for the CJ shirts (the black one AND the white one).
Onegaishimasu!
Offer still very much on the table (I had to go to work). Maybe $150 is a bit extreme LOL. Don't get me wrong, I would pay it, BUT I wouldn't say no to a cheaper price (like the ones other people are suggesting) either. :D
we need a lot of korean contacts, they buy a number of t-shirts for teamliquid, and then we can use like a prizes, or a lucky contest, where the winners can pay for them!!

So uh... you feel like selling me one of those for a lowered "ridiculously expensive" price?
also i found it kinda lol that there were 290 women shirt available and 210 men while men's shirts are nearly all sold out and womens shirts havent sold at all :/
Can't TL use the gosu contacts to Sea and/or Savior to get some shirts? Or even better, bang into the seller's head that there is a huge fan base willing to pay good $$$ for merchandise like this?

This is better than free publicity, they pay YOU to advertise for YOU!
You guys are NUTS
No, you are. It's CJ-mothereffing-Entus. Savior will crush you.

I'm dying for an answer to this as well. I stumbled through the site, but seemingly anything I click leads to a Korean login.
Thanks a ton for your help, just knowing its available is enough to keep me up clicking, looking for a way :>
If you haven't read the update. A short summary is:
CJ, due to such robust(?) enthusiasm from Teamliquid.net, decided to order 100 more shirts for foreigners. It WILL ship internationally.
BUT, CJ has not mentioned how the order will take place. So be ready to send credit card information. To be evil, order twenty or more shirts and make others mad!

Black one looks better.
So they haven't put the order form on the site yet? I've been browsing around there totally confused lol.
Man only 100? Those are going to sell FAST... I'm staying up all night... I hope they come out with an english order form before I fall asleep tomorrow (today)
Awesome, I hope they realize they could sell well over 100 shirts internationally lol. In fact, I'm almost certain they could sell another 500 easily worldwide.

Good luck. Koreans treat buying a shirt like buying health insurance in the States.
Thanks! But when i click one of the shirts I get an erroe message "로그인 후 사용하세요" which I have no idea whatsoever what i may mean. it MAY be "one gate-oh, teugeling, REEEEBOOOOR!! MA JAE YOON" but probably not.
Is it possible for foregniers to order shirts now? Or when will they release them? does anyone know?

Same.
EDIT: Nevermind. So I will be able to buy directly from TL?
EDIT 2: Nevermind again, I am still confused. Please someone PM me or respond to this with information on the best way to purchase and receive these shirts and I will be ready to pay. If we DO need someone from Korea, someone from Korea please PM me and we will work something out and I will be indebted to you forever. If not, still pls halp me.

I sure hope they don't make 100 XXL because they think all foreign people are fat, which they generally are, but not an elite few. Hopefully they realize the calories burned by 200+ APM keeps TL skinny and will provide plenty of S or even .... medium + Show Spoiler +

da da DA (scream)
Julyzerg has easily 400ish apm and hes not skinny of course my friends theory is that he stores massive amounts of energy for his games. high ATP= high APM

Yes, I was going to say I hope they don't think all foreigners are TALL but I didn't want to seem racist against them, so I said fat to seem racist against us (Americans mostly, that is).

Honestly, JulyZerg is not even particularly fat, by non-Korean standards (which iirc is like top 3 skinniest industrialized nations).
He just looks fat, in a funny way. His mass is not particularly great imo.
I'd actually prefer a jacket over a shirt, shirt's not really a uniform. And besides, i need a new jacket^^. Jacket also fits the 'racing ads all over' style better imo. Still think the old sc programers uniforms had way more style tho. Remember the silver spacesuits (boxer vs ggl-slayer)? Grrr and Hot kinda look like shogun or daimyo here:
if we were to buy a shirt, CJ should totally put us on their roster. We could be like in the noob foreigner division. Just so we can say we're actually on the team and we have the shirt. ^^

I'm hoping to be able to get one of these, still undecided if medium or large will be better. I would like it to fit properly but if it's too small then it's much harder to wear than if it's too big.

The answer: order both ?
I will order M/L and both TL shirts (one for outside/ one to sleep well) so big package to me :>

getting two is basically a bitch move since it deprives someone else of buying one.

I agree. Luckily however, if the sales are successful this will happen again.

doubt it, becuase they clearly aren't doing it to generate profit, but rather for a service for the fans. If they were looking to generate profit the numbers wouldnt be limited to 1000, and uniforms would change all the time and sales would spike each time.

If they were looking for profit they'd make the Black throwback POS jerseys and sell them for $1000 a piece.
Pretty cool. I'm actually looking for the next batch of TL.net shirts.

yeah... I wouldn't count on the "this will happen again" train of thought.
its sold out, i was able to get one cause one my friends was in korea at the time... i tried to get another but it was too late. she told me you had to be a citizen to order cause it asked for your SSN number.. weird (luckily she had one). shes coming back on the 24th with it, can't wait.
Meh, hopefully I can afford buying one, I'd love to go out wearing one.

That's not weird at all in Korea, pretty much just registering to anything or buying from the internet requires that number.
The next batch will not require the number though as they'll sell through TL.
