Shirts or shorts? Those are two very different pieces of clothing, though you do often wear them together.

Anyways, I do not really get the shirt. Why do I have to choose wisely if I can just take them all?

Shirts.

Well you can't overload on one and leave the other empty.... that wouldn't work out would it?

You're in luck, they have sleeves, just short ones.

That's obscure even for a gaming shirt. I'd hate to explain that one to every person I'd met.

Aren't they based on a similar design with the PlayStation button symbols on?

edit - it's a wider meme than I thought. None of the examples GIS shows me make any sense to me.

They are the 40k symbols for Tactical, Assault, Devastator, and Elite.

They are pricey for what they are. On Woot.com something similar would be about $8-12.

Well, Woot doesn't get the traffic and have the infrastructure Amazon does.

And, perhaps (you other 2) could offer more insight beyond passive aggressive comments.

That's why the thread is here.

As a buyer traffic and infrastructure don't concern me as much as price.

A simple, plain tee with two color printing at $18 feels high. Even with free Prime shipping it is on the higher end of what niche shirts like these sell for. ThinkGeek, Jinx, etc. have shirts of this type for $20+ but they usually have the license to actually mention the games they are referencing. This is an unofficial shirt at "official" shirt pricing.

Just something to consider.

Both privateer


That's constructive. I like that, it helps. I will investigate shirts on more sites. A simple Google Shopping search for 40k shirts, licensed or not, puts these shirts cheaper than average by a pretty good number of shirts. Most costing $19 or more.

The shirts that show up are of a wide range; from one color, to 1 icon/symbol (very easy to replicate) all the way up to personally created drawing, as well as straight up stolen art.

As a seller, organic foot traffic and infrastructure (ease of platform use) matter a lot.

I found no Warhammer shirts on Jinx or TG.

Thanks Dark!

I don't like them. They seem cheap looking, but come at an insane price. Heck, I don't even like the 'official' ones that are under GW license, as some of them are just a cover art printed on. Not to mention "straight outta..." blasphemies.

I do, however, like FW shirts, even though they are still expensive printed pictures, but somehow don't feel that way.

They are the lower material, there are "premium" material shirts.

The FW ones are definitely better material.

Like I said, just chatting and getting input. Thanks!

I'm not overly impressed, to be honest. I mean, I get it, but I don't like having to explain the joke.

But I traded in almost all my nerd shirts for band shirts some time ago.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
For something a little more specific: Maybe a more gothic looking font than "generic stencil block lettering" would be a good choice.

I feel like you had a prefabbed shirt design and just shoehorned the 40k symbols into it.

it's just.... too basic? Give me a dread or tech priest or something... If I'm wearing a nerd shirt I want nerds to know which game it's for. The price isnt too bad but wouldn't pay for that design

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say too I think. Note there's ways you can heavily suggest something obviously 40k without actually using copyrighted material from 40k. My avatar was my team's Adepticon t-shirt one year. It's enough of a not-Stormraven for one of the guys at the Forge World booth to take a look at it and figure out it was supposed to be a crashing Stormraven.

Gothic lettering, and maybe a silhouette of a chainsword or a skull or something might help imply more grimdark.

Keep in mind, they do have to pass Amazon's inspectors for copyright and trademark. So it can be hard to get close without catching on fire.


I'm working on a couple others.

Links aren't working?

So...did they not pass Amazon's Inspectors' reviews?

I removed them all to rework them.

Sorry!

lol, forgot to update.

They passed the Amazon checks, slower than normal, but passed.

I'm working on them based off of input here and a couple other places.

They will be back up soon!
