When I put "CJ Entus Uniform" in google the first search result linked to teamliquid.net and the second one (also linked into team liquid.net) linked to this poll. This is what it says: [Inventory Poll] Would you pay $25 + Shipping for a CJ ETNUS ...Man who the fuck is stupid enough to spend 50 dollars on a CJ entus uniform. Damn I wouldn't pay 50 dollars even for a michael jordan dress, ... www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=75296¤tpage=4 - 59k - 16 hours ago - Cached - Similar pages More results from www.teamliquid.net » Now I know why teamliquid has such strict rules. I was emabressed to read this in a simple search. If I was a sponsor and I saw something like that, there's no way I'd fund future teamliquid events. On a more positive note... Yes, I'd get one. They're pretty cool... if you didn;'t tell people what it was about you could probably go to a nightclub with it | ||

They sure as hell better make more than 100. lol Like I said before, I think they could at the very least sell 500 of them internationally. With 500, there will still be a few people disappointed, but hey! That's why you have to act quick. That should give people more than enough time. | ||

Now I know why teamliquid has such strict rules. I was emabressed to read this in a simple search. If I was a sponsor and I saw something like that, there's no way I'd fund future teamliquid events. Well, to be honest, I can't see any sponsor being that irrational. Anecdotal snippets are not the sorts of things that enter into financial calculations - it's a cold and heartless art. No matter where you go or what you are talking about, there will always be people who like what you do and who don't. Anyone with big money to throw around understands this acutely, I should expect. Either there's a market for something or there isn't, and a market can happily thrive in the face of all kinds of dissent. The question for them isn't so much "How many people won't buy my stuff" as it is "How many people WILL buy my stuff". Most markets are niche markets anyway, so you fully expect that most people won't want to buy a good number of things that other people sell. A quick glance at the poll says that half of TL probably wouldn't buy this shirt - but that ignores the fact that half would. If half is enough to achieve sensible profit, then it makes good business sense to go ahead, regardless of how completely idiotic the other half might think it to be. Worse yet, the more TL bans away the variety of opinions then the less representative of the true situation TL becomes. A sponsor may overestimate the market because of a concerted effort to "puff up one's feathers", if you will. They then over-invest, fail to get the return they expected, and pull out – once bitten twice shy. All this while there may have been a legitimate case for success with perhaps more modest investment. Personal opinion and choice is a powerful market force - if you put a ban on expressing it or you don't it works just the same. I think the goal of anyone seeking investors or sponsors should be to present as accurate and truthful a picture about the state of things as they can. That way you avoid the risk of misleading your early investors and making a name as a bubble of hot air. Better to promise 10 and give 15 than to promise 20 and give 15, yes? | ||

But, then again.. if they're selling them through TL in their shop, that might be problematic. | ||

Never was big on making fun of Xellos for looking like a girl and playing dress-up. I think everyone is focusing on when we can expect the shirts to go onsale internationally! This is some serious business we're talking about! On another note: CJ should probably limit sales to 2 per person because judging from the responses there are a few people who want to buy a few. Might want to up the number to 600. | ||
