Thoughts on user generated t-shirts?

by phobos | October 12, 2009

Some activists in China came up with this design for tor t-shirts. Comment if you think we should make and sell these for $20/ea.

I would probably buy one. Help get the word out and all that.

Shirts cost money though, and I wouldn't go ahead with this unless it is likely it'll be profitable or if there's a lot of extra money.

re: money

our goal would be to break even, not profit off the shirts. The goal is to spread Tor.

I would buy a green one, but

I would buy a green one, but I'm afraid the purple one is not very well designed in my opinion. Put a green one up and I'd buy!

Nice.

Offer more colors for the map-shirt and you've got me.

Right Direction

I like the idea of selling t-shirts, but these designs aren't great. The map is a nice idea, but the implementation could be much better.

One shirt needs to be black.

One shirt needs to be black. Geeks always by black (I know, all generalizations are wrong, starting with this one).

That being said, shirts are a good way to promote the project and to (possibly) make a bit of money.

More designs might be good too. Maybe one more artsy/conceptual/whatever you want to call it. One that puts more emphasis on looking good than anything else. A good looking shirt attracts more attention. :)

All in all, I think I would buy one, so another vote for the idea.

re: black t-shirts

We have black t-shirts already. See https://blog.torproject.org/blog/black-t-shirts-user-request

T-Shirt - picture

It would be cool to have earth super-imposed on an onion as picture on either the front or back of the t-shirt - I would say front, and on the back:

Test Our Resolve

or:

Talk Of Reason

Tor-shirt

My shot at a T-shirt design.

I presume the T-shirts are going to be made in China ;)

re tor t-shirt

I like that shirt.

I like the 'surfing freely'

I like the 'surfing freely' slogan, or something that otherwise gives some idea of what Tor is. I'd prefer, say, a navy blue, or something, to green or purple though. Black would likely be a popular color but my own preference would be for a dark blue or green or something. I kind of like the world map thing, but less stylized, perhaps wireframe outlines of the landmasses. Additional thought, perhaps with an example route, arcing or straight line mapping between various nodes.

But yeah, something like that, or something, would be awesome, and I'd love a Tor tshirt

nice

i like the shirt, really cool looking. nice article.
