This thread will server as the place to manage and discuss the orders for the new ESPORTS Aviators v2.0. We addressed a couple issues in these new ones, namely visibility.
Update:
Orders are now closed. There is no set date on when we will be be distributing more aviators, but keep on the look out! Thank you for all your support!
To everyone else: you should be receiving a similar confirmation email but your aviators will ship later in the week (18th-19th). They technically should arrive before Raleigh but it would be cutting it really close to those who are travelling early. Invoices will be sent out along with the Raleigh orders on Monday and throughout the week (should get most if not all of them out by Monday)
Some quick samples

Update 8/10/2011 11:48 AM
We have about 5 aviators left that we can get out in the first wave before Raleigh. After that we'll still be taking orders but you will have to wait as we manufacture/ship our previous wave of aviators.
On visibility
We now have two versions of ESPORTS Aviators, one with noticeably smaller font that is shifted down the glasses. This is increases your visibility significantly as you basically just overlook the logo altogether. We'll still offer ESPORTS Aviators "classic" for those who wish to have the full ESPORTS effect.
We tried transparent paints and they turned out horribly. The paint would be too thin if you really wanted to see through them, and having a nice coat of paint obscured vision anyway and the texture looked pretty bad, as we are using paint markers + varnish for our current model.
Visibility with big ESPORTS
The glasses are pretty dark to begin with, but the big ESPORTS does obstruct vision. I was capable of navigating portions of MLG Anaheim with them on pretty well, but not for long periods of time. Some people had trouble seeing through them. I like these guys for the full ESPORTS effect.
Visibility with smaller ESPORTS
A significant increase in visibility, I'd feel comfortable with navigating them for extended periods of time. However, the ESPORTS does slightly obstruct the bottom portion of the glasses, so they're like ESPORTS bifocals?
Also the glasses now have reflective lenses, opposed to the standard "dark" lenses we had before.
Pricing
We're aiming to distribute about 100 as of now, with 25ish going out in the first wave (hopefully before Raleigh). Of course this is subject to change due if they're popular enough!
If you're interested in ordering, the current prices depend on region to accommodate for shipping.
US Domestic - $25 + $5 shipping
Canada - $25 + 13$ shipping
Australia/Europe -$25 + $15 shipping
Orders are now closed. There is no set date on when we will be be distributing more aviators, but keep on the look out! Thank you for all your support!
Any order requests through TL PM will be ignored.
