Pre-Order/Interest Check: T-Shirts?

Hey everyone.

A while back, HopefulMonster and I were toying around with some ideas for other merchandise/swag that we could sell. The idea of t-shirts came up, and a number of people seemed interested. I mocked up a design, and have shown it to HopefulMonster already. Some small aspects (like fonts to make it more readable) might change, but this is the basic idea.

Image
(We may or may not keep the 'Got Wyrms' part, depending on feedback.)

In order to be able to run a batch of these shirts, I need people to commit to buying them.
The price will be $12 for pick-up, and $15 including for U.S. Shipping (International will obviously be more.). It will be $2 more for extended sizes (2XL or greater).

If we get at least 10 pre-orders, I will be definitely running a batch of shirts.
Once we hit 10, I will start sending out invoices for the shirts people have pre-ordered.
I plan on putting an order in on November 1st, so anyone interested MUST submit and pay for your order before then.

(Please note, with this design I cannot do multiple colored shirts.)

So...
If interested, please reply with:

I'll be interested at some point, and I'll likely be able to buy this more than I can buy a messenger bag. Just thought I'd reply to show interest even though I cannot order one for now.

They can be shipped out.
The other color options are white, light blue, and sage green.
Lighter colors work best for the design.

I do like the shirts. Maybe we can do more than one design/motto... also agree with a more colorful design. :)

More than one design costs more money. (I can't seem to sell one design at the moment?)
Color logos also cost more money.

HMS specifically wants the company logo, which is the design above.
I ran a price check, and it's an extra $2 a shirt PER COLOR added to the logo design.
Which may be more than most people are willing to pay. I'm not sure.

I think I'd buy one, though TBH I'd highly prefer just the logo by itself (with maybe the URL wrapped around the side of the design)...mostly just cause I like the logo design and also because ugh, Papyrus. :lol: What do the Blue and Sage Green colors look like? Also, are you folks running this through an actual t-shirt printer or something like print on demand? Just curious regarding the restrictions on color on colored shirts...been doing small runs of t-shirts for a while so I'm always curious to know where folks are getting theirs done.

Does/will that URL work? When I typed it in it brought me to a parked page.

The font will likely change. I don't believe Papyrus would show up very well. I used it since it's what we used on the cards for a mock-up.
Without taking screenprints I can't really give a good estimation of the colors.
Light blue is like: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_color ... =LightBlue
The sage is kind of like: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_color ... rkSeaGreen

The website belongs to HopefulMonster, we plan on developing it soon as the main Wyrmportal.
The wiki, etc. will eventually be on that domain.

This would be done through a company. I priced the cheapest options available for online ordering.
This isn't something we can do in-house, and I haven't found any options which are cheaper.

I vote for Sage Green, then, but I'd also take a blue one. :)

I'll call my shirt guys and see what they say about pricing on shirts (what kind of shirts? Economy type, or the heavyweight type, or the softer modern fit like American Apparel?). Dunno if it'll help but might be worth a shot, who knows!
