Siriku and I have discussed this idea in the past and it was brought up again this evening. I thought I'd make a thread to see what people would think about buying a T-Shirt, at cost price of course, no profit.
I wouldn't mind one myself, and they'd make good prizes too, but they could also prove expensive as they'd have to be of a good quality, not some Cafepress shit.
If the price was right, would you think about getting one?
Here's a quick mock-up I knocked out too...

Of course, I'd have to look into the legalities of it all...

Very nice and very interesting. I quite like the sound of that if they were good quality and a decent price. Good promo too!
Since I love the community here I would personally love to display my pride in being part of it! If you get some up for sale I would buy one, assuming I can pay in GBP sterling, I don't like paying 17% extra for currency exchange. -_-
Wow... I love the shirt mock up! :wub: Sold! You taking pre-orders yet? LOL
Heh, knew you'd be in Mufasa =D.
I really hope this goes through, even if it is a limited amount. I'd wear it with pride!

GREAT idea! I'm in if it really comes true. I want one of each colour, please! LOL

And I'll have mine in XXL and black! And the same for a hoodie if you decide to do them too. :)

Yes, and don't forget the "Ryo Hazuki style jacket" and the "Blaze style track suit".XD

I love the T-Shirt you have in the picture. It's a nice shade of blue. Consider it sold!
I might suggest making the ".net" a little bigger but other than that, keep me informed.
Laters...

Oh sweet T-shit!:biggrin:
I made a T-shirt for the band I'm in and it turned out shit 'cause I didn't iron it enough!XD
I got to say its an awesome shirt. I like my shirts in XL and in black. If there was different designs, such as different Sega games, that would be awesome.
Great idea. I want one. :) Hehe...in Blue and in S.

Assuming I could pay with Paypal and you have my size, I'll take one. As far as the legalities, I believe as long as your not making money off of the SEGA name or logo, you should be fine.

I'll look into prices around Christmas, obviously the more T-shirts are made, the cheaper it is per T-shirt, so I'll create an official thread asking for pre-orders. I won't have a t-shirt made if there's no pre-payment, because if the person pulls out I've had a T-shirt made that's lost me some money.
I may make one or two designs and let people vote, but I like that one that's in the first post anyway and I'm sure another few of you like it.
Regarding colours of shirts, if it's more expensive to have different coloured shirts, they all will be blue. If it's the same price, then sure, any colour!

Mark, I'm sort of skint at the moment, got a price range in mind? I might be able to get some money for pre-order, assuming you will accept postal orders or cheque. :P
EDIT: Forgot to ask, will there be any women's shirts or is it all just men's? :unsure:

Sounds like to me, a good reason to buy some shirts for RadioSEGA prize packs. ;) Again, just PM me with details and I wouldn't mind buying several you can keep on hand for this purpose. I think we'll probably know better on the amount of prize shirts to buy based on the amount of normal orders and when we get the ranges for prices. The prize shirts could possibly push us into the cheaper price bracket.
SegaMark
01-11-2007, 17:39
Yep, I'll shop around and get some quotes for prices, wouldn't mind a few for prizes too. They would certainly be unique prizes to give away.

I've had a look at my other Sonic T-Shirts and keyrings and all they say are "TM & (c) SEGA".
I know someone who works for SEGA. I could ask them on your behalf if you like?
SegaMark
01-11-2007, 18:49
Not yet, but I had a contact there, I may try him myself.
I know a guy who had a custom shirt made, with a copyrighted character on, he had no trouble.
I'll likely get a blue one if I have to, but eventually i'd get my own custom black one.
Oh yeah, nice T-shirt. I'd love to get that with a hoody, but I'm not allowed to buy things online. :(
I think this is a great idea and there's no question about making them. I'm just wondering if we could have more options for a design. Perhaps a contest or multiple design choices depending on the demand? It's a nice basic t-shirt, but you could screen many more graphics onto the tee. Perhaps a collage of favorite characters? Just my suggestions...
No one responded! Is there anything going on with these? I'm just wondering what the other forum members think and want to check on the status. Was also kind of hoping to submit some possible designs....

Personally I would love a RadioSEGA shirt, but it's all down to Mark if they come out or not. Might just be competition prizes only. Never know he might release a load for order sometime. *ahem* MARK! I want a shirt mate. ^_^

They will happen, wait until around Christmas for an announcement about prices and pre-orders... :)
(Chances are I'll go with the design above, or make a few more, but I love the one I made as a mock-up.)
Well, could we at least put a classic picture of Sonic on it? I have a few that are small/medium size for a t-shirt....I just think, in terms of cost/efficiency, it makes sense to use more of the fabric. {I think I'm right?}

I so want a shirt!!!!
Sega Uranus

I would definitely want one. Maybe two.
Any news on the Tees? I would really enjoy having one no matter what style actually!
Also, nice avatar with the Sonic/Dreamcast logo mix. I was actually thinking a few weeks back of doing a heart/DC logo mix.

When Uni is over (this weekend) I'll begin to look into it. I'm currently taking a break from my all-nighter to try and get my work done!
I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what's Uni? A convention? Your University?
OH, and no pressure =)
SegaMark
14-12-2007, 05:16
University. :)
Gotcha. Well, good luck with exams/projects!
http://www.radiosega.net/images/posts/323324418.jpg
You know Mufasa, that RadioSEGA Master System Photoshop job would make a great T-Shirt graphic, in my opinion. Well, if we are still thinking of doing that....:rockin:
I never thought of that since the image I made pre-dates the shirt idea and me being a moderator and then an admin... If its to be done, I might have to dig up the higher resolution version/redo it in "HD". LOL ;)
They will happen, wait until around Christmas for an announcement about prices and pre-orders... :)
Haven't you learned by now not to set dates? :rolleyes: Any new time frame estimates?

I really like that graphic and it makes total sense. Mark, please comment!

The RadioSEGA shirt should have a link on it and say,"8-bit to 128-bit". LOLZ
SegaMark
24-01-2008, 11:13
I'm going to make some phone calls this weekend about pricing. ;)
Any news on the T-shirts Mark?
SegaMark
15-02-2008, 22:38
I'm too busy with Uni and three projects and shit to chase this up, but I have a good idea it should be around £12-15 hopefully...
RadioSEGA's 2nd Anniversary is soon so I may wait until then before I reveal anything. ;)

These may not come cheaply, I warn you. Sonic may be removed from the design if I have to as it will make a fair bit of difference. Expect to pay less than £20, but I'll try and drive down the price as much as I can without sacrificing quality.
Pre-Orders will begin when the new site launches. :)
Pre-Orders will begin when the new site launches. :)
How long will they be on sale for? And are you doing any others or is it just the one?
That looks pretty pwn. I'd get one :D Show some love and all that.
Is there anything going on the back, or is it just gonna be a front design?

Nice one there Mark. Guess I should get one being a staff member and all ;). Prove I'm part of the team hehe.
I would not mind getting one myself somethingto wear at shows like Londond Expo or the next time I go to Akihabara in Tokyo.
Kool Chao
20-04-2008, 19:34
Wow, pretty awesome design! Is there gonna be something on the back of it? And will it come in blue only or other colours aswell?
I'm getting one, at least, that's for sure!

Oh, and I hope RadioSEGA's recent money issue doesn't mess this up.

June 1st mate, the money issues were just for the stream I think and the new layout is pretty much complete so no worries about that. Try to keep yourself dry over it please ;).
Yeah I'll be getting one no problem;).
Just spent a whole 2 hours trawling through the high street trying to find decent T's, but withto no avail. However, "Radio Sega" T's look like a thing of genius! If you're getting any of these made up, feel free to name your price and I'd be more than willing to part with my money!

A possible source for t-shirts has recently contacted me saying he can now supply me, I'm going to have a sample made and hopefully by mid-August orders can start to come in.
O_O! *faints* Awesomeness has become true XD! Now to convince someone here to buy some shirts...

Unless that "someone" is someone in particular, I don't think that it should be that hard to convince people here to buy them. I, myself, have already stated on several occasions that I would purchase a RadioSEGA T-Shirt.
I'd definitley get some :D the design links posted here look way awesome

I meant someone here in my house.But I must think further before asking anyone to buy a T-Shirt.

I would like to see these come to fruition. Just in terms of money if you got some made and then struggled sellin them. Would piss me off if it was me doing it.
Unless you got a list of who was into getting one before you ordred so your not losing out.
SegaMark
24-02-2009, 16:58
I'm talking to a company about them again now, I'm going to see if I can get a sample sorted, and see what prices will be like, I don't want them to cost above £15 each ideally.
richarddavies
24-02-2009, 17:11
I work for an office supplier and they also do printed items like shirts caps etc but I can only get the shirts for £15.50 printed. I don't even get discount, cheap arse's.
EDIT: And that price is only if you buy 26 or more. It's £16 for less.
What would the sample look like, similar to what the design was the last time you posted one?
Or is it a surprise?

Well I reently helped BigPoint with their income by introducing them(in the forums) about Dark Orbit T-Shirts, i created that thread about 3 months ago, and it brought in attention and $$$. They also added the idea of making MousePads, and WristBands, and Pins. I think RadioSEGA should do the same, so then you will be a real supporter of RadioSEGA.
-Regards Gecko.Guy.
KoolKojoS
24-02-2009, 21:16
You should make the shirt in different colors, or change Sonic to some other character, when you change the colors, like knuckles for red or something.
Other than that, really good idea, I would buy one.
SegaMark
24-02-2009, 21:38
In regards to colours, the shirt will be blue, but black may be offered as an alternative colour too.
With design, they will all be the same design, if I start adding different characters for different people they will become very expensive.

Lol SegaMark looks like you have to make new merchandise, so your merchandise will be sold to 100% of the public.
Hey hey, one step at a time, yeah? The t-shirts have been in the making for about a year now, so let's get these right first and then look at the possibility of making new merch.

I might get one of them t-shirts for my birthday and if i can make it i'll wear it at Insert Coin (to represent, and so you know who I am). ;)

Honestly, I WOULD get a T-Shirt, but I'm planning a BIG donation of an undisclosed amount for RadioSEGA. I also can't tell anyone when that will be hehe;).
(Don't worry, if I get money for both, you will know.)

I'm just hoping I can get my two for when Summer of Sonic rolls around, so me and Mena can spread some RS love :D
Ew, keep your cooties to yourself :P I'm quite looking forward to my shirt, new clothes ^_^

$20.00 Plus Shipping and Handling sounds good. A L T-shirt is what I want to get for me being a Die hard fan of Sonic and Sega Radio. (Even Tho I haven't been online to access this site in months.:():nono: Anyway it would be awesome if I can get it by mail to Ship it to Schoolcraft Michigan USA.
