I don't mean designer labels or anything, but it'd be nice to buy a shirt or hoodie here and there (yes, I know about the ones on Cafe Press that get under their radar...)

Because....

shhhhhh no one saw anything xD

Yeah, these are all fine and dandy (and most of them unlicensed...)

Why doesn't GW see the profitability in having licensed merchandise like shirts, hats, etc. like these and have them readily available via their website or allow retailers to carry them?

Thats the point of the link.
Because look at where are the unlicensed items are sold from.

GW cant be bothered with to make those T shirts for $20 just have bunch of people from asian selling the fake ones for $10
( im saying $10 because they would want to give incentive to buyer for buying fakes )

They did back in the day iirc,anyway there was even an editorial in WD129 warning about buying Warhsmmer T-Shirts from local markets as they were poor quality seconds.

They made them together with Bleu Grape pop merchandising.
Very hard to find.

Because the Cadians 'style' has already been pattented by the U.S. military.

I'm makin me a space marine outfit for next haloween hee hee hee

Well, Black Library comes out with some t-shirt some seasons.

I have a khaki Tanith Ghosts tee with their regiment logo. And an Aquila cap.

you can a get warhammer shirts at games day

Cause few people wish to advertise their GW allegiance.

I have several. All very old now though. My terminator sergeant badge tee is the fav but it's a couple of decades old.

I don't know why there aren't any current ones, they're saleable items.

Pfft, yeah, like we need more signs that we're geeks.

We obviously do

I'd be down for a 40k related shirt, depending on the art work. A crux terminatus would be cool, but I don't think I'd want to walk around with a giant John Blanche mural, replete with bald screaming spacemen emblazoned across my chest.

Still have my terminator seargant t-shirt as well Also have the black eagle on black t 'there is only war' one plus the two Warhammer anniversary ones (although the transfers are coming off those...).
Mick

Because they would have to retcon shirts every few years, just for poops and giggles.

Anyone wearing a Squats shirt is killed on sight and burned.

Lets be real here, we all know that guy who hangs out at the FLGS or the GW... that dosnt know what deoderant, shampoo, bodywash and shaving cream look like... do you really wanna see that guy walking around in a T-shirt with the Crux Terminatus covered in subway marinara sauce... would'nt that kill a little bit of the nerd in us all.

You could, you know, buy some printer transfer sheets(for lack of their actual name) and make your own. If you can't find any anyway.

Im sure they dont do this because everybody would ask for SM costumes

I have a couple of Warhammer related shirts, but I got them from zazzle.com - you make your own logo, or buy one from a store. I got a shirt with a picture of my avatar on it and the back says "D to the Ork"

And another one that says, "I like long Waaaaughs! on the beach"

There's definitely a market; there's no reason not to wear your colors with pride when you go to a tournament.

Not sure. They used to produce them for GTs, and for Rogue Traders (a generic Participant shirt anyone could buy, and back in the day also a Champion shirt for the winner). They still produce them for Ard Boyz.

If you want the new VP of legal to come and set fire to you...

I'd buy a GW coffee mug and pint glasses.

Now beer mugs they do, only catch is you have to go to warhammer world to get them

They produced two shirts for the Apocalypse release. One black with a full colour Baneblade, the other khaki with a silhouette Baneblade. I'm actually wearing the latter as I type.

I had a Nurgle T-Shirt back in the early- to mid-nineties.

GW did give the license to warp artifacts Back in the late 90's early 2000's but pulled it because warp artifacts weren't reliable and some of the stuff they sold was total .

I had an Aquila belt buckle lasted about 6 months then the wings snapped off. My trousers fell down in the middle of Asda not good.

I'd love a baseball cap with an embroidered Inquisition, Terminator or Adeptus Mechanicus symbol.

Aquila Belt Buckle would be pretty kickin.

It is!

If they were more stylish I'd wear them. The simple giant aquila on the front of a colored shirt or (warhammer) across the chest just doesn't warrant $25+.

I like this shirt though:
