Let's show off our Pit pride and let the public know that we are geeky but proud of it.

I want a large (U.S. size) and I'm willing to pay $20 for it.

What about this catchy phrase on the back side? It's a mapper's insider joke, and it's almost hip.



This way, even for the general public who don't know anything about mapping, the shirt will still catch their attention. Heck, you might even get a cute girl asking you what it means.

And on the front, there has to be a little adorable snark next to the "SnarkPit".

very nice idea, but dont you think that if a girl came to you asking what is that, you will go say that its a mapping thing, i think she would think that your a computer nerd...

But what the heck, i like the t-shirt smiley

To be honest, I don't like that slogan for the back.

But instead of just saying I don't like it... here's a what I'd prefer. It's not really centered correctly, but it's just a rough representation along the lines of my original idea in the other thread.

Thumbnailed to be nice.

I just think wireframes look great. Obviously, we could choose a different wireframe shot, but this is just to give you a general idea of how I want it to blend with the shirt. Opinions?

I think that is kinda better, if someone would see it, they would atleast understand that you work in a complex thingy, or maybe someone would have a better picture?? [addsig]

Very cool, prefer the second back. Although add a "slogan" at the bottom of that on the back. Something like "Half-Life Community since..." and of course don't forget the URL somewhere, even if tiny and on a little square like the nike thing is on football shirts!

I couldn't come up with any clever slogans... so I just dropped the URL in with a little snark.

The URL could also wrap around the left sleeve if you wanted to make room for an actual slogan.

And, if you count Lep's user registration as Day 1, then this place has been around since August 20, 2001.

Any specific place in mind where these t-shirts could be printed?

Cafepress is obviously somewhere that will do them- I personally wouldn't be seen dead wearing any internet-related t-shirt, though a mousemat would = win I'll look into setting something up online, though any retailer suggestions would be welcome.

*edit* Cafepress don't do black shirts <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

This can easily be printed onto a T-Shirt and ironed on carefully. [addsig]

Like I said in the other thread, I have a friend who started his own company a few years ago that handles things exactly like this. If we were to order something like 50 shirts, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind doing them for ~10 bucks each. If we can't buy in that quantity, it will cost some more. The shirts are of good quality, since I know the guy who owns and run the company.

I mean... did we even decide on a design?

I'd wear the snarkpit one, as long as it didn't have the url... The first one was pretty good, though I dunno about the back, and it would have to be printed on decent material- not some crappy plastic s**t stuck onto a crap t-shirt.

My mate at uni did a t-shirt design company a while back. If I remember correctly he got around 100 t shirts done, and it costs around ?3 per t-shirt that way. Assuming you sell them for between ?5-?10 you make quite a fair profit, which can be used to pay for your design labour and other stuff- such as paying for hosting this site maybe?

10 bucks each is expensive for 50 shirts. Should be around $8

I'd go with your idea of having the wireframe, but I want to make sure that the pattern is visible and large enough to be seen on the black background.

I don't want the URL on the shirt. I don't like to be a walking advertisement.

I agree, especially since here in vermont billboards are illegal.

I asked my girlfriend what she thought of the slogan and she thought it was stupid- before and after explaining. [addsig]

Yeah, but she's not a mapper. So she wouldn't understand how we think. I bet she doesn't appreciate the beauty of a well-placed point_spotlight on an intricate texture either. I'd be temporarily mesmerized by something like that.

I'd wear that s**t - but only without the leakage.

I been giving it some thought since i noticed this thread. coming up with a catchy slogan is always a bitch.. E=MC2 has been used already, so we can't use that one, but i figure something similar about editing could. i did like the "Got Leak" one, but its so rudimentary, that only a hammer user would comprehend, where on the other hand, everyone gets the Einstein one.

we need one that a slightly broader group might get.. problem is, i cannot remember before i started mapping so i cannot think of one that broad

perhaps we should use our biggest mapping argument and have "R_Speeds 1" on it :/

/me goes back to contemplating the idea.
