TPU Clothing line is LIVE!

Ok guys the TPU Store is open for Business. Get em' while there hot!

TPU Gear!

Update.....
Well I have had 4 sales in 48 hours. Not to shabby guys! Thank you.

Anyway I decided that Ill do one custom item per-member. The text will be simple. Nothing fancy. This will be an experiment to boost sales and the item will only be up for 24 hours. If its not bought by then it will come down and I will not upload it again. Ill also be adding 1 dollar to the total cost for customization. Keep in mind this is not affiliated with Techpowerup in any way and Ill cut this promotion whenever I feel like it. If you want your name done type it EXACTLY how you want it on the merchandise.

Example:

TheMailMan78

Once you post your name ill make something like this for a back neck print.



Again this is a promotion of my whim. It will end at any time.



Here is some pictures of the goods.

Now I MAY have solved the international distributer part but before I go any further I need to know if we have a market here on TPU. So what do you think guys/gals? Would you buy a TPU shirt or mug?
Just a logo, nope. Some witty quotes/puns/side jokes plus a logo - Hell yep.

Yeah. I think it'd be great!
Someone had already tried before. The shirt would have to have what Yukikaze stated.
I wouldn't mind having my name on the back near the collar either.

I'm sure we could come up with something whitty and cool

As for custom designs I think that would be an impracticality.

I have trouble biting down on a novelty item that's 200% the cost it otherwise would be unless it's disturbingly witty and unique.

Also I just noticed the TPU BC2 clubhouse logo for the first time-- and it is disturbingly good. Damn you.

Where were you all that time? Some company seemed to have stamped a near perfect copy on their hardware, can't seem to remember though!

How much are you paying for printing (for 10/100 shirts)? I take it the company you're using it supplying the clothing, too?

My wife's always calling me a Cyber-Faggot so there's something to work with

Black shirt, big logo on front, scaminatrix on back underneath collar. Job done.
Price please?

EDIT: thought about doing a bundle?
Shirt + Cup + antistatic wriststrap or something like that?

I need to determine a market first man. Then I need the final go from W1zz. After that there will be a store front with what we offer. I'm not sure but I doubt we will be doing in custom printing like users names and such.

Anyway one step at a time.

I'd love a set of mugs with various quotes from TPU over the years..."collect them all!"

And seriously, I gotta buy new ones anyway. Shirts are good too, but must be $25 or so shippied, IMHO.
