If you don't know, I am a printing student and currently I'm studying Screenprinting which is the method to how most t-shirts get printed. Talking to my teacher, he's allowed me once I've finished my assement (in about 4-5 weeks) to print something of my own on to whatever medium I like. So, I have this half-baked idea of doing a one-off batch of T-shirts for 4-ch. It would only be a single colour, either single or doubled sided, and I couldn't get away with more than a dozen at the most.
There is a problem. I don't know what design to put on them! So here ITT you can come up with suggestions. AA artists/kopipers are more than welcome to come up with ideas. Please, keep it simple, keep it a single colour and something suitable for a T-shirt. For all you designers out there, you're more than welcome to email me vector work as well. Please keep it in PDF as it makes it easier for me to handle.
Two other things I'd like to mention:
i) No shirts :( - things could sidetrack me and it is possible that I'll run out of time and not get them done. If you guys really want the shirts, I'm more than happy to do a small batch with a local screenprinter.
ii) Cost - So far I'll sell these to you for my cost price (which will be shirt + postage). However I would like to swindle a dollar or two more as a donation, to help pay for the bandwidth bill :P Would people mind if that's the case?
Aside from those, show me your ideas!
No ideas, but what shirt size will these be?
I haven't thought that far ahead. I'll take some requests on what shirt sizes you all wear. The other problem with that is that different countries have different ways of measuring. And just to make it harder for you folks in North America, it's all metric here!
So where would the shirts be sent from?
Hehe, it's metric in Canada, so no worries for me. :)
As I suggested in the IRC channel (which more of you should hang out in), I'd like to see some AA shirts. It'd be pretty awesome to have a geeky shirt to wear around on the weekends (I wear a uniform to school).
I'll get my shirt size when I'm out of lazy-mode.

I'm in Brisbane, Australia. Don't let that stop you.
If anything, DQN-kun. He's kind of an original creation at least:

id buy an oppai guy shirt
I would also buy an oppai t-shirt. That's VIP quality.
DQN... I don't think so
oh shii, you and your VIP quality...
I'd buy a shirt with anything like "VIP Quality" or "DQN" or just some AA-characther like the oppai-dude.
These are some good ideas coming so far. I will say that trying to get the "Oppai!" guy won't be easy, as there is a bit of a skill aligning up SJIS art, but it's possible. There's still a bit more time for this if you have any more ideas.
http://www.4-ch.net/logo.gif is cute.
.. and it would be a bit of problem to print with only a single colour. And, you would loose a bit of detail.

A shirt with "let's all orz together" would be awesome.
"orz if you plz"
or just one little orz man with "1000" written next to him
and below that the date when we got 1000 (05/02/12 03:12)
I just started up school, haven't even had much time for posting to the site, but I'll see if I have time to make any designs :)
I have a bit of a deadline. Monday 19th September some sort of agreement on a final design should be made. Also, while I think of it, shirt sizes have to be worked out as well. Otherwise, I'll just buy a bunch of shirts in varying sizes.
Also: What colour do you Want the shirts? what about the ink? I am a bit more restricted to ink colours, but common ones are available. I'm also going to try and borrow a mate's digital camera so we can show you making the shirts, and how they will look at the end.

People make 2ch merchandise all the time. Claiming community property as your own is the trouble here.
I don't want an exclusive 4ch reference like some "1000" thing. The chance anyone would understand it is about 0. It would be better if it has a well-known 2ch character like Kikkoman or Shii with "4-ch.net for the world", or something. Or, even better, an AA character invented on 4-ch...
...why, of course... GRANDPA!
What kind of dialogue (monologue?) should be featured? Junior on the back?

That's a severe Internet, Grandpa!
This should be in black ink on a white or grey shirt... homemade quality.
That's just a suggestion, anything simple like that is appealing...

In my day, we had to access the Internet on VT100 terminals, and there was no Web! Only USENET!

Seconding the Grandpa/Junior idea, but I agree that only the back should feature the site's URL/name.
Probably not such a long statement on the front as in >>31, though.

What is 4-ch.net, Grandpa?

front/back reversal is possible; but I have no more suggestions
I've got an idea. As much as I would like to sell these shirts off and use them to swindle in more donations to pay the bills, I thought of a nice idea. I'd like to give the shirts away. Pay for postage, printing, the lot. Except... you have to send me a postcard from where you live with your address on it. When I get all the cards, I'll scan/photograph them in and show everyone the fronts (the bit without your address on it).
What do people think about that instead?
>>34
I'd be all for that. Plus, it would be a cool way to see where people (in general) hail from.

AA version of http://4-ch.net/logo.gif I'm not sure if the difference between pants and skirt could be rendered well, though.
Should we have a vote now?
Well, yeah I guess, considering that you've got less than a week before I have to prepare the work up and buy the shirts etc. In terms of sizes, I'll buy about 6-12 shirts in various sizes from what's considered small, up to extra-extra-large. The only bit I'm not looking forward to is taking them to the check-out to pay for them (NO I'M NOT GOING TO STEAL THEM).
>>8,9,13,15,17,21,22,23,27,30,31,33,36
Those are the suggestions I see in this thread.
↓ Please cast your vote!

If I knew about this earlier I'd have thought of a design but ahhh well.
I'd take either a Grandpa or orz.
Since I'm guessing everyone wants >>30, here's the next thing I want to ask:
What colour do you want? Both Ink and shirt.. and you don't have to use Black/White. I am a bit limited on ink colours however, but I'll raid the ink cupboard at college and get a small list of the sort of colours I'll print with. I can also get away with using different colours for different shirts.
Can you mix colors? Having the 4-ch.net blue and underlined like a hyperlink, and the rest black on white, might be cool without being too garish.
