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.
I think white print on red would be cool.. Or otherwise reversed out or bright colors. I agree that plain white is kinda boring. Maybe a pale yellow like the futaba BG color. 2ch bricks obviously can't be done...
Are different sizes gonna be available? (´・ω・`)
Thank you for offering to make shirts though, can't wait to see how they come out!
> Are different sizes gonna be available? (´・ω・`)
YES! I need you guys to tell me roughly what sizes to get.
Girl's small or if that's not possible, medium. Not trying to screw you up or make a joke.
If it's only guy's sizes, I guess a small (´・ω・`)
Large, or equivalent.
Many times, people that wear large size should actually probably be wearing medium. I'm not talking about those that actually need to wear large, but rather those young kids (I'm one of them) that wear large shirts that are simply too big / baggy. Medium might seem like a good "average" size for mankind.
Large, please.
Large
M would be fine
I just imagined myself wearing "Grandpa" shirt... eeeehhh...
Then I imagined this on a shirt.

It shouldn't be.
Here's several versions of >>30 ins sjis, btw:

Okay after finishing all of my assessment, I now have 3 days to create and print the shirts. I'm guessing that all would be happy with >>30 being printed on, so I'll work with that.

It shouldn't be. The only problem I have is getting the text into a large font and printed out. Once it's printed to paper or something I can do the rest easily.
Right. At the moment I'm at college working out how big the text should be. Should it be big? Should it be small? I don't know. What do you guys think?
Big enough to see from 40 feet away.
I drew up a 5x7 inch block just to get an idea, Maybe two-thirds Grandpa, one-third text. Maybe?
Originally I thought I would just charge you guys for the shirts and add on a couple of bucks to get some extra cash to pay the bandwidth bill. Then I thought hey, why not give them away, and ask for a postcard or something. Well, considering I have to print the shirts next monday the postcard idea is out because they wont reach it here on time. Secondly, I'm broke as hell. Coughing up $150-$200 for shirts and postage under my own wallet would make my cash situation worse. Would it be fair to ask for the cost of the shirt? It's going to (probably) cost me nothing to print them, and only a few bucks in postage.
Would you pay $12US for a shirt? If I get some quick "yes" or "no" answers to this, I'll get onto the next bit on how you can get a shirt.
Sure, $12 would be fine.
Sounds great.
12 is good. If it includes S&H even 15 would be fine. If S&H is seperate, 12 is good I think.
Nah I'll prolly pay for the S&H out of my own pocket.
Another thing that hasn't been finalised... (shit I thought I forgot something)
Shirt colours and Ink colours
What colours for each? Remember it's 1 colour for the ink. I'd rather not have black + white either and I've got a lot of variety to choose from. Or should it just be random? Maybe a random shirt colour with say a black or white ink?
Once this is sorted I'll be opening offers etc so I can go buy the shirts.
You should make at least some of them with the color of the thread background in Pseud0ch, or at least the closest color you can find to it. That seems like the most representative color of 4-ch... and it's especially appropriate since the design incorporates what would be text from a thread.
I have just setup a Paypal button thing so you guys can order them. I have go to out now for a couple of hours, and I'll come back to get a look on things. If this happens really really quickly, I can have the shirts purchased today, have them printed Monday, and have them in the post by Monday afternoon.
We are sorry that we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later.

Fixed. It works now.
Hooray!
Medium.
I´d prefer the "orz1000"-design.
Orange shirts would be nice.
Make a quick photoshop of what the shirts would look like, before printing them.
Someone suggested to go with the pseud0ch look so the shirts are light-grey with black ink. I'm not a big fan of orange shirts with black on them, I've had to deal with not only designing for them, but also wearing them for a large LAN party here back in early 2004.
Stencils get put on tomorrow (Monday), the T-shirts get delivered and Tuesday they get printed. I'll try to organise a digital camera to show you what we have to go through to print them, and what they'll look like.
T-Shirts━━━ヽ(∀゚ )人(゚∀゚)人( ゚∀)ノ━━━ !!!
<_<
>_>
Soooo.. Would it anger the 4-ch staff if one took an old white t-shirt, a steady hand and a good textile pen, and perhaps a cutout-template to make ones own 4-ch shirts?
I was thinking something like along the line of
>>30
only bigger AA+text than what the printed shirts have.
As in, making ones own 4-ch shirt(s)?
Not manifacturing shirts to sell, of course.
Umm... I don't care.
In other news, shirts will slowly get shipped out next week, sorry for the delay.
(゚∀゚)
News update: The first load of shirts has been sent out. I'll be posting more out this week and all should around in the next 10 or so days. When people get theirs, let us know so I know it hasn't gotten lost in the post.
I got mine today. (キタ━━━ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ━━━!!)
If people want to take pics of them wearing their shirt or something and send them in/post them here I'll put them up somewhere. I still have a few left, and those who haven't received their shirt will be posted here on Friday, all things going well.
Covertly got 100!
Yes, needs more pics!
You can put a Laughing Man over your face to remain anonymous!
( ´ω`) THREADSTOP!
