With only 10 people interested, no.

Thats justa the t-shirt. What about all the other shirts? Where were you going to get them from? How about a picture you know **** sells better when people can see what the hell it is you are talking about. A little effort on your part could go a long way RobD

+1

I'm not interested in a shirt or a jersey or a *shudder* hoodie, but that doesn't mean I want to see this fail!

Here is what a T-shirt looks like...

Try to keep up...

Fact is, we would need a minimum of 12 of any quantity to make a custom item...

Well, RobD maybe the reason this failed is because your creativity is lacking.

I've ordered ONE custom shirt before that i've designed myself. It just gets expensive (~30 bucks). If you get 6 it goes down to the next price point, and onward, ect.

Just get a design set up and see if people like it. Then take orders, you could do both the tshirts AND the jerseys since the real cost is making the screen for your design.

You just tell people up front that it's gonna cost ~30 for <6 shirts, but $22 bucks or so for more and see how many bites you get.

Sorry, the most I would ever pay for an ironic t-shirt is $20.

Strange yours would cost so much more........ :ugeek:

It would be $14 each for 12-24 T shirts on 50/50 poly-cotton., based on my previous experience with these things, 1/2 of the people who say they will buy one, don't...

I came up with this without a concept in mind... If someone wants to throw out a few design/layout ideas, I'm happy to photoshop it up.

16.50 and you can pick the color and size and you dont have to have any on hand. It would be nice if the had talls, and jerseys. I know a guy that orders cherper jerseys from somewhere, but I would have to talk with him to find out where.

I had a couple more designs, but one had "keeping **** real" or something to the effect on it and it was deleted because the word **** probably offended one of the sheepdogs here.

I would buy a shirt that said, "Don't worry, I'm from the internet."

How much profit are you making from those shirts? Seems like that's a bit contradictory to the cause........... :hmm:

Thats where I put mine together. Seems easy and straightforward enough.

Cafepress is a good option, though I have found their print quality to be far below most of the quantity ordering suppliers I have used... Feel free to post or PM me design ideas, and I'll get going.

I would be in for at least one maybe 2 if the price was under $20 each. Bringing them to the effin gopher might help them sell.

Thanks for the idea, but I don't have the capital to buy shirts and hope they sell, especially since there's no profit involved. If I do it, I'll get shirts to those who ordered and prepaid.... I'll probally leave a cafepress option available for anyone who want one after-the-fact.
