Frankly we just don't think there is much good nerd attire out which motivated us to do this. We hope you guys like this stuff, we plan on making more in the future.
All the images come in different colors. We have mens tees womens tees and hoodies. just click on any of the pics to see all the different types. Some are cheaper than others so check em all out! I hope you guys like em!
Special thanks to Joshua Keys for helping out with some of the artwork.
here are a few samples, i'm sure you can guess which one Artosis likes the most...
Nice, great SC/semi-SC shirts that go beyond the typical kekek zerg rush n_n
I want to make a shirt with a communist-propaganda style commentator face and something like "REEBA REEBA REEBA" or "PLAGUUUUUUUUU" or "HI TEMPULAH! STORMUUUUH!" on it.
who doesn't hate dts... the one unit that brings the starcraft rage out of me ^^ When i glance back at my main mid game and finally notice a dt with 10 fuckin kills
ps i think i once let a dt kill 25 drones of the coarse of one game i almost threw my computer out the window

savior's head photoshoped to hitler's in bold black and red, nazi insignia replaced with a dark swarm one. Bisu in the frame of a typical stalinist soldier propaganda pic or giving the finger.
...or maybe make a line of pants and put a sieged tank/sunken on the zipper/crotch.
Possibilities are endless.
Ok they're bad ideas, but I'm sure people get the point :>
I love the idea and the way you guys are going with this. My only qualm is the quality of the shirts. It seems like you just thought of generic sayings or ASCII and typed it in paint and threw it on a shirt. If any of the text ones looked better I would be buying half the shirts on your site (provided I had money to spare). It really isn't hard to open photoshop and fuck around with text filters and make a shirt look good.

i'm actually wearing the 1a2a3a one right now and it looks good man, it's the same quality as other shirts i've worn before.

I'm not doubting the quality of the shirt. I also know plain text shirts can look good. I'm just saying that I think they can look a lot better with a little photoshopping. I'll mess around with some of them in a bit here and post some pics to show you what I mean.
Again, I love what you're doing here, just trying to be helpful.
The sup panda bear is too emo Wicked idea though, do more like that. Then I can wear something nerdy and only other nerds will know. It's like the secret sign of the starcraft community. Girls will be like " awwww that panda is so cute " and SC fans will be like " that's totally baller did you see Hoejja vs Flash game1, how fucking epic was that?! " Double win

Please wear that shirt on a live cast. I would be the most awesome thing since cows started to fly.
edit: Am I doing something wrong or is there no shipping to Brazil?
I agree that the idea of cool t-shirts is something nice to work on because there is clearly a lack of supply here but when I visited your site I was disappointed. Simple text on a t-shirt with little to none originality except for two to three t-shirts (e.g. philosoraptor, which is very nice).
I can go to spreadshirt.com or any other t-shirt printer, open my own shop and "design" a shirt with text like "i am a dt" or a penis smiley within five minutes and buy them directly at the lowest cost...
Anyway, apparently quite some people like the simplistic text on shirt here, so you will see if that is successful or not. I wish you all the best and hope to see some more designs soon for the handsome but demanding nerd.
By the way, begging people on twitter to buy your shirts sounds so desperate.
Don't rip off other peoples designs and ideas, especially when they do it better than you. Most of these shirts look like something anyone could make for themselves at a place like customink.com, but with some more time and effort some could be pretty interesting.

Even if it is a meme, this design is pretty much a direct rip from lonelydinosaur.com (except for the typography), which is pretty lame.

it's a meme on the internet, no one knows where it came from. The only time they should worry about selling a shirt with that design on it is if they find out someone has it copyrighted.

Would be great if you could upload some pictures of you (or others) in those shirts, just so we get to see how it "really" looks, because its hard to imagine it just from the pictures on the website.

Cool concept though ^^
Yeah we're going to have some people do modeling of the shirts on the site including me and Grrr...
I think it's a good idea but none of those shirts gives me the impression you spent more than 20 minutes combined designing them. I think you should make the sc icon t-shirts (like adrenal gland, psi storm etc) those guys wore on the korean show where they were trying to speak english
Or have some sort of recurring community design contest like threadless.com but for the starcraft community and a portion of the profits goes to the person who made the design

This. I didn't want to be a dick and take away potential customers, but the secret's out now (so to speak). Customink is pretty affordable, and many of the designs shown are plaintext and easily replicated on their site.

+1, take out the Philosoraptor one at least and lets have some variety than text based shirts.

I think you're kinda missing the point. The whole idea of buying someone's customized t-shirt is to show them financial support. Instead of asking for a donation in money, people ask you to buy a t-shirt which is much more cool. Anyone could go to a local silk screen store and save a lot of money to make the same t-shirt. But then you wouldn't be supporting the guy you could have bought the shirt from. I didn't pay $50 for a PirateBay t-shirt because I find it good looking
The price of the shirts are no way fair for their quality.. no offense, but who would pay $16.95 for a shirt that says "gg" in big italicized letters. I mean, I could just grab a plain white tee and a sharpie and go to town on that badboy.. for free! At most, the "gg" shirt should be $8-10 ($2-3 for the shirt itself, $1 for ink, $4-5 for upmark/profit). I took a screen printing class and got certified back in high school so I know a thing or two about shirts. I even printed/sold shirts for clubs around school.

Can't we both support Tasteless and Artosis financially and in return receive a quality product? That is the best of both worlds no?
I feel like the only reason they can do this is because they are Artosis and Tasteless and most people will love. I feel that if me or any other average poster but up these half ass plain text shirts trying to make a few bucks then they would be torn apart by everyone here and delete and/or temp-ban would ensue. So I can't really say that I agree with using your position in the community to do this.

I disagree, he is addressing the point quite accurately. The point of buying a t-shirt is to have a t-shirt. Ideally a really cool one. The mark up is just on top for providing a cool design etc.
If you want to support someone financially, you can donate money, which is way more efficient anyway.

He put up some shirts. People want the shirts enough to buy them. Transaction complete.
If people didn't want the shirts they wouldn't buy them so I don't see why this is abusing his popularity. I'd say this is better than a voting thread.
Shirts are cool but they are so basic and easy to make yourself that it seems like a ripoff to pay even 15$ for them. I've had hundreds of shirt ideas over the years, or like even shirts I see at the store with a basic logo, i'm like "wtf. I can make this for 10 bucks" or something.

My point is this: If you or I posted this thread and said we were the ones doing this, would we get a mostly positive reaction like this thread did? I think it would be quite the opposite. I say that because the shirts are zero effort required (with the exception of two, but I don't know if they even did the artwork themselves for those).
Ok, charging more for the Philosoraptor one is pretty lame. I think I'll buy the 1a2a3a one when I get the money, and the Philosoraptor one if the price is lowered. Not that $4 or so is that much, but out of sheer principle I wouldn't pay that much more for something because it has more than 1 line of text.
this is like my 5th time clicking this topic and i must say there is nothing baller about "i hate dts" f u newbs, dts rule. I'd slap a guy in that shirt and call him bad
Holy shit. This is the kind of thing where when you try to convince your gf to wear this shirt, she spends the whole time trying to remind herself why she's still with you.
"Yeah, honey, I know it's kinda lame and dorky... but... it's funny! I mean look at the shirt and read it... it says, 'my boyfriend hates dts'. And I'm your boyfriend and I hate dts, how perfect is that? I mean it makes perfect sense. I mean look at it, c'mon! ... Why are you being such a bitch about this?"
cool shirts, i'd buy an 'i hate dts' shirt if i could justify it to myself. unfortunately, at ~$19 after shipping, i could almost buy two shirts from woot for the same price.
i realize that it is hard to compete financially with such a sales juggernaut as woot, but i can't see myself buying any of the shirts until they're in the $12-$15 range after shipping

These are probably printed on demand, which makes for much higher prices.
On PrintMojo the cheapest shirts are $4.50 or so for one color of ink if you buy 300+, but closer to $10 if you do the min order of 24, and that's not counting the $3.50/order they charge. So $17 isn't all that surprising (I'm not saying they're worth that though). Better idea would've been to make 2-3 good designs and order a bulk batch, but that requires having a few thousand dollars lying around and confidence that they'll sell well.

It doesn't matter what kind of reply you'd get in the thread; their popularity isn't going to make any significantly larger number of people buy them since the internet is very impersonal so any popularity or guilt-trips aren't going to have a real-life effect, especially on money. In the first place, you seem to be very whiny since you're complaining about how their business gets better treatment than an unknown person. Well, duh, what did you expect? You want people to treat a famous person more than an unknown person? That's idealistic, romantic thinking. This is reality. Get over it, if you're upset that's your problem and nothing they're doing would be counted as abusive. What are you, the moral police? '/end rant. Anyways, I like a few of these shirts but most of them try too hard to be funny if that makes sense. I would love a SCV shirt, anyone know where I can get one of those.

Any actual Starcraft units/icons are copyrighted by Blizz, so trying to make money off them is probably a bad idea.
Back when gg.net was starcraftgamers.net they had probe and scv shirts. I still have mine from wcg 2004 in san fran. That was before Blizzard cared about community sites though.
You could quite easily get the wireframe image they used and get it done yourself.
* Common unit acks from game (for auir! etc) * x is imba (so many possibilities) * gg should be ggnore ^^ * I agree with the idea of having shirts with some of the random stuff you say
Dunno why people are complaining, it's obvious hes just trying to get it going with a few simple designs. As he said more in the future most likely pending success. I find the simplicity appealing, anyways. Def gonna buy a couple ^_^ goodjob

This is the kind of shirt I like. Plain t-shirts with some text need to be at least witty to be a quality product. Sorry to tastless and Artosis, but not only are the designs meh with no effort put to them at all, there is not much thought put into wit within those t-shirts, and I know both of you Tastless and Artosis are witty guys. Try to put some effort into those t-shirts and try to get a proper designer and I will buy one for sure . Make some cool t-shirts.
Sorry for bumping, but this hasn´t been updated and there are many new models that in my opinion are better in desing and content than the older ones (i love the manner pylon shirt, and the i lol´d one too) and probably some people don´t even know about this... artosis and tasteless ftw : ) saw this one:

Tad expensive TBH. If it were a bit cheaper I'd get the PLAGUUUUU one just cause I say that like all the time. It would save me precious energy - instead of shouting it and getting strange looks, I'll just grin and point to the shirt xD

What if the guy who was wearing the shirt just bought it because he worked at a gating company, and his favourite word is proxy? In fact, he's probably never even heard of Starcraft before.
