Topic: Feasibility of making Black det.net Shirts
started by: eng_man

Posted by eng_man on May 19 2000,10:14
I've been talking with cr0bar about possibly making (getting a company to make) some black det.net t-shirts. Since he's been a bit lax in his reply times, I assume due to the latest bit of problems with servers. I was wondering if you guys think I should pursue this further or just let it go the wayside?

Go to Cafepress.com
They say they'll ste you up for free.
Posted by cr0bar on May 19 2000,10:58
Cafepress would be great, but they do not have black shirts. Only white. I am going to be checking out some places locally. I'll let you guys know what I find. eng_man, wanna give me a price quote?

Idea from everyones favorite l4m0r.:

(do html tags work here?)

Maybe this around the chest area on the left hand side, and then something really badass on the back. I'd suggest maybe a panel from a bastardization, but those are copyrighted images :/

Maybe a cool quote or something?

cr0: Actually I do, but I won't be able to send it to you till I get off work (after 7PM EST). From what I remember you wanted to get 50 shirts. It'd be better off if you got 72 because that's when the next price drop per shirt ordered kicks in. I _think_ it was somehting like ŭ-600 for 72 black shirts, but I may be wrong. We'll see.

AND SEND ME THOSE OTHER IMAGES DAMMIT!

would you guys consider shiping them to Europe plz...

think of all the foreign Det.net's fans who need to reaffirm their loyalty by wearing those badass T-Shirts

personally, i live in France (what a shitty country, except for topless chicks everywhere on the beach every summer) and i'm always SOOOOO pissed when stuff is "for US citizens only"

I think you should have a poll, once you decide the best possible tshirt designs, so we can pick the one we like most (which means the one that will be bought the most!).
Posted by Proteun on May 19 2000,15:06
I would pay for a det.net t-shirt. If you only by 72 of them will I be able to get one? There has to be more than 72 fans out there reading this sight. Or perhaps you'd sell them to the highest bidder. Let's skip past that all and I'll ask you how you would ship the stuff, I bet you aren't set up to take credit cards. Would you ask us to send some form of money out to you? Curious, would you charge us large amounts for shirts? You couldn't do more than ฟ, that's even high right there. But it's all you sir. I'll check back to find out the latest word.

Posted by Lizzy on May 19 2000,15:20
I'm gonna agree with you there. These days all the t-shirts have too much on them. One small to mid sized logo on the front (maybe even faded some) would be awesome.
Posted by marc c on May 19 2000,15:24
I imagine cr0bar would sell his shirts with something like < paypal >, have a seperate company handle selling them, or set up a simple credit card order form.

I wouldn't worry about not getting one; I'm sure 72 shirts would last at least a couple of weeks. And if not, he can always order more.

And Proteun, you can edit your messages.

Posted by eng_man on May 19 2000,15:47
cr0bar doesn't HAVE to get 72 shirts. That was just the next step up where the price drops per shirt order, I think the next one up is around 150ish which would end up costing nearly 񘈨. You gotta remember all this stuff needs to be paid up front. The only other alternative to that is to have people pre-order the stuff (a bad idea, imo).

I think having a det.net design contest is a great idea. Then again I'm not the one running the show ...

But it would be l33ter if the whole thing was Detonate Orange, with black accents, like the areas on the UBB (in the Post Reply thing, look over or under the middle gray area to see!)!
Posted by Hellraiser on May 19 2000,16:55
God have mercy on my poor eyes! Orange shirts? They're supposed to look cool, not like a warning sign. Go with black and put the orange accent on them.
Posted by Lizzy on May 19 2000,16:57
Pink would work too!
Posted by Ansible on May 19 2000,18:01
It MUST have "Rat tat tat, yo" on it somewhere, and it must be black bgcolor. Orange is NOT a good bgcolor.
Posted by Kolben on May 19 2000,18:03
But Hellraiser...warning signs looks cool! I wear 'em all the time!

And it is a Det.Net shirt, so why shouldn't it be a warning sign. This site is dangerous to non-believers, and screwup companies.


Posted by Hellraiser on May 19 2000,18:24
Why advertise that it is dangerous? Then people will stay away. Ya gotta come off as cool and collected, then when they're in your sights you hit them with everything you've got.
Posted by veistran on May 19 2000,18:53
I agree, orange is bad shirt color, pink... well lizzy if you want a pink one you can make a pink one on your own :P

Black is best and "rat tat tat, Yo" has to appear somewhere on it!

It should be "Rat tat tat, yo." Not your miscapitalized mockery of it!
Posted by eng_man on May 19 2000,18:57
Not to come off as stereotypical but a "det.net orange" shirt would be exremely ... how should I put this, ghetto.

black shirt == cool
flaming orange shirt != cool

cr0bar wanna chime in on this one? Should I look into getting orange shirts? I'm pretty sure they'll be the same cost as black. But if only a few people want orange ones you'll be left with a bit pile of shirts and an empty wallet. Aside from being a better shirt color, black seems like it will sell better. Remember folks, you have to pre-order this stuff.

Precisely why I was going to start with a small amount of shirts and work my way up. What if I drop 轜 on a few hundred shirts and only sell 100 of them? Can you imagine how stupid I would feel?

In a few minutes, I'll post up what I had in mind for the shirt design.

You could put the names of all us loyal detneters on the back, like those crappy t-shirts people have from stupid things like the honor roll or a baseball team, or the ones when you graduate 7th grade with everyone's name on it!
Posted by Kolben on May 19 2000,20:17
Heh...I like at least one thing that suck!

What's all these 'l33t h4x0r'-tag things. Is this the recuiting office for løpht? I'm not a l33t h4x0r, but I'm a mean motorscooter, and I behave very bad on the road!


Posted by cr0bar on May 19 2000,21:31
What do you think of these? I am using the voodoo extreme shirt as a template, because I really like their layout. I actually own one of these shirts....it's got holes in it now so I can't wear it outside. Billy, wanna trade me a new VE shirt for a detnet one?
Here's the VE one:


And now the current DRAFT of the detnet one:


"Tagline" will be something like "The reason why the voice in your head is laughing" (I am partial to that one myself) or maybe "home of l33t hax0rs", "Rat-tat-tat, yo", or even "There is no spoon". Suggestions for taglines? Comments?

Both pictures are dead links for me.

As for quotes, I'm not really "down" with the voice one. Not my style (I like obscure/pointless things, ie. 'rat tat tat, yo' and 'there is no spoon'). I'm leaning towards rat tat tat.


Posted by Lizzy on May 19 2000,21:35
Ok they work now.

I think the back logo should be less bright. Maybe a darker orange, so it fades a little better.

I like "the reason why the voice in your head is laughing." I think that should be on the shirt. Looks good.
Posted by eng_man on May 19 2000,22:08
I'm partial to Lizzy's idea. I like lines that people don't get/know right off hand. It'll force them to ask me what's it's about, then I'll have to explain to them what it (det.net) is.

Other than that it seems good. I really think you should let users submit some designs. We won't know if this sucks or not if there's nothing to compare it to. Maybe set people up w/ some of the basic elements (the logo, the face, etc) and let everyone have it ... maybe we'll get a better design out of it?

I think Rat-tat-tat, yo is good because it's not only unknown to most people, but it's funny to us (it's like a large-scale inside joke). The spoon isn't as funny as Blade!
Posted by LinkDJ on May 19 2000,23:26
Rat tat tat, yo! I am likeing this shirt idea! I also agree with Eng_man about the design contest. It'll be like TheBench.org, only funny! hey, when can i get upraded to the status of l33t hax0r? =D
Posted by TonyDennis on May 19 2000,23:51
y0, supz0r.

I like cr0's design, it's cool. I also like the "Rat tat tat, yo" idea. The "The reason why the voice in your head is laughing" isn't nearly as funny (or cool).

It would be cool to have people submit their designs in, but this is cr0's site, he obviously has the final decision.

I think that owning a det.net shirt would be pretty kick ass. Unfortunatly I only found this website for the 1st time 3 weeks ago, so let me be the lamer here and ask..what is the deal behind "Rat tat tat, yo"?

I know understand, I never read Blade because i never went to see that movie so i didnt figure that i would understand it. However, I have read Hackers (about 17 million times and even saved all the pages) and Matrix. I must agree with aventari on the statement that "Stupid soap!I will 0wn j00!" is by far the best. I was laughing so hard the first time that i read that i was crying!

Posted by veistran on May 20 2000,02:51
While the soap thing is funny, I for one don't think it'd work on the t-shirt, plus Rat tat tat, yo has the whole iside joke thing going for it. inside joke = good

This would be more difficult to implement, but we could have our BBS nicks printed on them.. Maybe dark grey on the black background, reading vertically down the side, or something..
Posted by Kolben on May 20 2000,08:45
That would either spice up the price, or it would contain a whole lot of nicks. I don't want lots of nicks on my shirt.
Posted by HaxoRus on May 20 2000,08:46
I think the design cro posted earlier, plus rat tat tat yo, and then I don't know about Dustman's idea, that would be too hard.
Posted by Lizzy on May 20 2000,09:00
Pfft, I had that idea yesterday and posted it!

Well, I don't think it'd work, since there's already 130 accounts on here. If we did do that, we'd have to make sure Lu was on there!

One question to eng_man et al...

What sizes do the shirts come in?
Some of us are not small at all (i.e. needin like a 3 or 4xl size shirt) do they come that big, or am I just going to get to dream about having one of these shirts.....

thanks in advance...

I want a small or a medium. I don't like big shirts. And don't call me a slut!
Posted by eng_man on May 20 2000,11:29
Reguarding the sizes:

Any size up until XL is the same price, if you need a shirt larger than XL I think it adds ~1.00-1.50 to the price of the shirt.

Reguarding the names:

This could ONLY be done if people pre-ordered. Unless you want everyone's name on the shirt (a really stupid idea). It definetely would add to the cost of the shirt. How much? I'm not really sure. I'm waiting on cr0 to give me a better idea of what the final shirt might look at before I call up some people to get quotes.

I loved the Hackers bastardization, and I know lots of people complained about Blade, so why use a quote from the bad bastardization? I personally LOVED "This is CRASH OVERRIDE speak0ring." "Stupid soap, I will 0wn j00!" is great too. I vote for both of them

Well, see, just because an overall object is the least compared to similar objects, does not mean that part of the lowest average object isn't the best. Since I love Utopia, I'll use it as an example: Each kingdom has 25 provinces in it. Now, it could contain 24 really crappy provinces, and the 25th could be the best in the world. The overall kingdom sucks, but part of it is the best. So what I'm saying is, I think "Rat-tat-tat, yo" has gotten the more positive feedback than any other quote in any of his bastardizations.
Posted by DuSTman on May 20 2000,11:45

Ok, maybe that wasn't such a good idea :]


Posted by ArchBishop X on May 20 2000,11:51
eng_man...

could cr0 make the order in different sizes?
I gotta ask, or otherwise he might be sitting on 20 or so small tents (a.k.a. big-ass t-shirts), or I don't get a shirt.


(BTW, I'd be fine with paying an extra ū-Ŭ for a detnet shirt....one of the few reasons I'm sane at the end of the day.....)

Posted by PersonGuy on May 20 2000,13:40
How much are you planning on selling the shirts for?

I'd definately pay more for the thicker cotton.

And although "Rat tat tat, yo" is infinately funny, it doesn't even compare to "Stupid soap! I own j00!" I fell out of my chair lauging the first time I saw that. Since then I burst into laughter in public areas just by accidently thinking about it. Everyone looks at me weird, but that's ok, cause I just yell, "I OWN J00!" at them and they stop looking... But one time someone ran the other way and tapped a mall security guard on the shoulder. That's when I sat down on the escalator and left when I got to the bottom floor. It was raining though, so I was glad I had my coat. The pockets in it are big, so can carry all the stuff I bought without my hands. I need to get some lotion, cause my hands are dry. I run out of lotion much too quicly. I use it for more than my hands.

Oh, and you should start a poll to decide between "Rat tat tat, yo" and "Stipid soap! I own j00!"

I understand I'm in the minority here, but I think that, "rat tat tat, yo", just wasn't anywhere near as funny as, "Stupid soap!I will 0wn j00!" However.... I think the tagline should be from the matrix bastardization. It was the one that started it all, and far and above the other two, imho. Hackers and Blade are part of detnet, but the Matrix is it's heart and soul, and begining. The tagline should be, "There is no spoon." - or another quote from the first bastardization.
Posted by veistran on May 20 2000,15:08
Hmmm... even though Lizzy used such a lame game as Utopis for the analogy it does work, Kind of like, you could have the biggest tag in earth with most of the members nw at around 1-2M and one 100M member and you avg. net and total net would still suck. So in short "Rat tat tat, yo" is the best if even it's not in great company in it's bastardization. The e-mail thing would be l33t even if it was only a forwarding thing, but I wouldn't use a webmail account (I have enough of them as it is).

Big thick cotton T-shirts = Good thing ™
The nick thing makes little to no difference to me I just want to get one of these kickass shirts.

I don't think detnet is about all that "what started it" crap. I'm sure if cr0bar could only have one thing up (for some impossible reason or another), he'd put up what we like more, not the original.
Posted by Merkury_Black on May 20 2000,15:18

Because it's only supposed to be funny if you've been to detonate.net. It brings us all closer together!
Posted by TonyDennis on May 20 2000,16:55
I agree with psYan, the quote should be from the Matrix Bastarization. I think one of the funniest quotes in that bastardization is: "hax0r this." Man, that was funny as hell!

Although, I really liked the Hackers quotes, "Stupid soap, I will 0wn j00!"

hey all, dont have much time to yap so here's a design I be workin' on:
< www.olypen.com/advent/Smiley/detnetshirt2.jpg >

I think it would make us all look very distinguished *fart*

and no, I dont know if that's the front of back :-)


Posted by LinkDJ on May 20 2000,18:35
That would be cool in black, and with the first 150 people signed up in the BBS on it or something, or we could have cr0's design with 6 rows of 25 nics on the back, 3 on top, the detnet logo guy thingy, then 3 rows on bottom. Or just one nick vertically on the lower left side on the front, like someone did a pic of on page 2. Whatever, as long as I get one =)

I think the whole nick idea is lame. I mean, those of you who want it, go ahead. I think there should be many different shirts, I think that's the best way to solve the whole quote issue too. Except if there were different shirts, I'd like to have both, but it would look lame if the only thing that was different was the quote- so then you'd have to have different designs for each quote.. hah, i'm arguing against my point.

I agree with hellraiser, i like "The reason why the little voice inside your head is laughing" quote.

Very detnetesque.

"The reason why the voice in your head is laughing" is good, but feels long to me. I like 'em short 'n sweet.*

Posted by Hellraiser on May 20 2000,22:20
Why not put them both on? On the front have detonate.net: the reason the voice inside your head is laughing, and on the back have cr0bar's logo with Rat-tat-tat, yo! under it. I think that would be the best of both worlds, something to appease the masses of detnet viewers about to go to war over a friggin' line on a T shirt.
Posted by JimmyTheHandless on May 20 2000,22:22
i think itd look best with the voices comment below the icon on the back then just put a detnet logo cross the front (like the one shown above this happy orange line.)

Indeed, why not have two quotes? Under the breast logo, of the quotes we have now, "Rat-tat-tat, yo." Then in bigger print below the back logo "There is no spoon."

Other favorite possibilities:
"Right, right, I know. I own the original album, I ripped it myself."
"Please enjoy your new asshole."
"Now there's something I'd like to r00t!"
"Your porn folder is only 4k!"
"Slashdot is boring!"

Bleh, or, "Detonate.net: From the same people who brought you Dawson's Creek."
Or simply "Self proclaimed l33t h4x0r"

Aahh.

The problem with smiley's designs is that they would require very expensive custom shirts. Let's stick to the standard T-Shirt paradigm of a single color shirt with something over the left breast and a larger something on the back.

Yeah ... that looks sweet cr0. Only thing we need to know now is cost, and can I get it in the lil' ol' UK. And I think Rat-tat-tat yo is by far the superior tagline. Maybe have a site poll on it, like the one you run on the front page?

Another thing, don't you think the det.net logo on the back, albeit cool, looks a bit too sinisterly like the Napster Head Thing™? Just a thought.

Ok, here's what I've definately concluded:
-Thick Cotton = GOOD
-Orange Trim = GOOD
-Logo on Sleeve = GOOD

I would DEFINATELY pay extra buckaroos for those three things.

I like the big logo on the back, and the small version (of the same logo) on the front is a good idea.

Either you should just have a quote on the back (for which I vote "stupid spoon thingy" or "asshole thingy").
Or have quotes on the front and back (for which I vote "voice thingy" on the front and "rat tat thingy" on the back).

You need to make a POLL Cr0! That's the only fare way to settle this!

Posted by cr0bar on May 22 2000,01:06
The "Napster Head" is more cat-like. . .

I hear a general consensus for "rat-tat-tat, yo", so I don't think we need a poll on that.

I'm pretty sure that this will be the design:

and the back

This will probably be the easiest and most inexpensive (not "cheap", inexpensive).

Ok I've been gone all weekend so now after [finally] finishing reading this debate I have formed my own opinion (the most important). I think that "The Place That Keeps Getting Raped by Jackasses" (for the front under det.net), and "Stup1d soap I will j00n you!" (for the back under cr0's logo) I thought that was hilarious. I laughed my ass of, then I did it again when I got off the floor and started reading again. Then I couldn't stop laughing so they thought I was crazy. That lead to a long drawn out story with a mental clinic, a jaguar, and a horney panda. anyways I love that qoute. I really like smiley's design. Thanks for sticking your head out there smiley and ray. I would be willing to pay lots extra for a quality unique shirt.

"Stupid soap! I will 0wn j00!" definitely has merit, but I prefer Rat-tat-tat as the primary tagline.

The soap line could easily go on the back, but it might not look terribly stylish with two taglines.

Question: will you be able to get the detonate.net in the gradiated color like it is here? I doubt it, but it would look hella nifty...


Posted by Bob_Cannibal on May 22 2000,02:06
actually, I think the soap line above the logo would be better, and the rat-tat under left breast.

"The Place That Keeps Getting Raped by Jackasses" would be a eye snatcher.

I concur, the current design is about perfect. But isn't having the little head-dude on both sides a little bit of overkill? (I say take it off the front.)
Posted by Cyrino on May 22 2000,11:49
I agree with Freakho, the two logos are a little overkill. I still think that the Rat-tat-tat should be under the det.net on the front and another quote under the logo on the back. So, other than the logo on the front, cr0's design rox0res!!

Posted by Lizzy on May 22 2000,11:59
You can't just have words sitting somewhere on a shirt, they have to be accompanied by a picture or logo of some sort. Detonate.net only really has that one logo... maybe a crobar above "Rat-tat-tat, yo" on the front of the shirt? =p
Posted by DuSTman on May 22 2000,12:14
Can you sign mine, cr0bar?
Posted by Bob_Cannibal on May 22 2000,13:05
right, here's the design as it stands:
a thick all cotton, black shirt, with orange trim (if availible)
the detnet head over left breast.
under it, Rat-tat-tat, yo.

on the back, the detnet head, really large.
I am voting for the second tagline as the soap thingy.
either that or jackasses (some people won't be able to get that one...)

that's about it. I want the shirt thick, so it'll last.

Man, I don't visit the forum for 2 days and it jumps from 15 posts to 4 pages, what a discussion. Here's what I'm thinking. This has been reiterated quite a bit, but here I go again.
You can't have something appear twice on the shirt. Nor can you have two taglines. Thats a form of over kill. Sos here's what I propose, you can have the "detonate.net" image appear once, and the cute little detonate.net guy appear once, one on front, one on back. Then you can only put the tagline on the back. On the subject of the trim around the collar and sleeves, I think it adds a very modern/hip look to it, I would pay for that. On the subject of the BBS nick. That would be cool if we put that on the front above what ever we decide to put on the left breast, in a faded grey sort a color. But I must humble myself and say, "What ever you decide Cr0."

Um well then no raped by jackasses quote because you lam0rs can't stand up to your parents. Well the under the Detonate.net we should put the reason the little voice in your head is laughing. Then have 2 different t-shirts with rat-tat under the evil napster, and the other Stupid s0ap under the evil napster.

Hmmm, two taglines is overkill, eh?
Okay, perhaps the only tagline should be on the front, under whatever logo is on the front (I say "Detonate.net"). Under the head on the back, if you don't want a tagline, could have cr0bar's signature instead, in bold orangy letters! Woohoo!
For me it's between "rat-tat-tat, yo" and "Stupid soap, I will 0wn j00!" Nowadays I'm leaning more towards the soap, which is very obscure.

Is the cost of ringer Ts really high? I figured around บ for a ringer. If people really want their nicks applied to their shits go to the local sporting goods shop and get it placed on in those sport letters. I like the idea of an orange ring and black T. I'm sure the cr0bar head is easy to print, but check up on the logo or simplify it because a small T-shirt printing company might not be able to do extra fine details. Oh yea, I don't care about the tag lines. Whatever the hell happens.

Good grief, all I gotta say is thank goodness I didn't have "Email notification" on. That woulda sucked nuts.

About the black shirts with orange trim, it does add some money to the cost of the shirt (obviously). I think it's something like instead of Ů-7 for just the shirt (no art) it's Ű-9. Kind of a big jump just to have trendy sleeves if you ask me.

I do agree that the face shouldn't be on both the front and the back. I was going to make my own design, but work has been kicking my ass lately (just pulled a 12 hr. day).

Here's what I was thinking ... have detonate.net on the front (same that's on the BBS). Put the det.net explosion (the one that's the background on the main page for the links) with the det.net face above it carved out above the explosion. It's a Photoshop plugin, I don't know how to describe it well. Awww, fuck maybe I am going to to have to make one And the ever so popular "Rat tat tat, yo" below the explosion.

White-out, my friend. Or a bleach pen. Do they make bleach pens? They should....

Anyway, I am thinking about having NO tagline. Putting the explosion on there is probably a no-go, as the extra colors would increase the cost a lot. Just having the "detonate.net" text logo (like here in the forums) on the front and the headphone dude on the back appeals to me....

please at least put the quote to vote. "rat-tat-tat, yo" is NOT a very good catch phrase,(i just dont see any humor in it) and not to mention the gangster mentality it connotes.

'stupid soap' or 'the raping jackaases' quotes are definatately the 2 best.
(im with anztac)
but i will go with the concensus if we put it to a vote. but lets be democratic about this! some people who dont read the bbs every day might want to have a say. (as long as it's not for the rat quote)

It's not supposed to be a catch phrase. It's an inside joke, which is, in fact, funny. None of the other quotes, except maybe "Stupid soap! I will 0wn j00!" come close to having the spiritual and comedic value of "Rat-tat-tat, yo."
Posted by eng_man on May 23 2000,07:50
Having the explosion on the back wouldn't add that much cost to it, since it uses many of the same colors as the det.net logo. Almost every single company charges by how many colors you use, more colors = more money.

If you're already getting charged for the colors used in the logo why not have the explosion too? Plus it would _seemingly_ add some meaning to "Rat tat tat, yo" for the uninitiated. Bombs ... explosions .... guns ... rat tat tat ... aww nevermind.

It's gotta have at least a one-liner on it, else it wouldn't be much fun. Rat-tat-tat, yo would work even though I liked the voice better. I don't care either way about the explosion mushroom cloud, although it might add a little to both the appeal and the cost of the shirt.

cr0 always knows what's up. No line wouldn't be that bad, but I think that idea will get shot down rather quickly, people love their rat-tats and soap. You said that the orange trim ads a few dollars, but I'm willing to pay that, I'll even pay a few bucks towards cr0s own steaming desire for profit. Earlier on I was afraid that if there were only about 72 shirts made, i might not get one, how many users are registered on the BB? How many people would actually buy one? Heck, i know I would, i might even go back for seconds.

I think the orange trim would easily be worth the extra two or three dollars. Hell, if we're gonna get the thing, might as well go all-out!
Posted by simulacrum on May 23 2000,11:49
Depending on how much I like the shirt, I would at least buy one, probably two.
Posted by cr0bar on May 23 2000,11:54
I have no desire for profits.

It's been said before, but it bears repeating:

I have to pay for the shirts up front, all at once. I want to buy enough shirts so that I can sell them at a good price, but I CANNOT risk that I will end up with hundreds of dollars of unsold merchandise. As well, we are looking at at least 踰 just to buy a single order of these things, so I am out on a limb until each and every one sells.

Once you finalize the design, and find out how much they'll cost, ask for people to preorder. I'm sure quite a few will, and that would assure you of selling those. If like 30 people preordered, and you plan to buy 72 shirts, that would be a pretty good sign that they'll all sell.

I think that the "no tagline" thing would suck. Everybody would just look at it saying det.net, without having to wonder wtf is up with it. Tagline is a must. I don't really care much about which one. 'Soap' and 'rat' are equally good. Beyond that I think that the designs posted so far rocks, and I'd defintitely buy one! Let's get on with it
Posted by Cyrino on May 23 2000,21:07
I trust ya cr0, I'll preorder to ensure a cool shirt for sure!!
Also, the explosion looks cool, but the design is looking a little cluttered, I liked it more when it was nice and simple, and got the point across.

Posted by TonyDennis on May 23 2000,21:29
Can't you just give the printing company the final design (or post it on det.net) and then have us buy directly from the dealer? Since you don't want a profit, shouldn't be much of a problem.

The whole quote thing- make separate shirts. It's that simple! Here's what I'd pay extra for:

1) Thick cotton
2) Orange trim

This T-Shirt thing has become such a big deal... I mean how everyone want's it to look.

I'm for the black, orange trim, main logo on front with tagline, and smiley guy on the back. The tagline is nessisary to get the attension that your site deserves... soap or rat is good (but I like the soap better) bla bla bla

Nuke explosions and mixes of grey are to complicated.

Oh, and if you can find a way, please bleach your signiture in Cr0!!!

Anywaze, I know whatever it ends up looking like I DEFINATELY want on and will definately pre-order for up to ฟ!

i'm all about the "det.net" on the front breast with "Rat" or "soap" below it. on the back, i like the weird napster head with the "cracka" quote below it (i thought it was funny). same signature printed on all of them would be nice, but i don't care about the trim. just get them out quickly, i will pre-order.

Posted by veistran on May 24 2000,01:19
I think that the first batch of shirts should be pretty plain so as to keep cr0's initial cost down.. so plain black shirt with 'detonate.net', det.net head thing and the tagline whatever it's going to be (the posting majority seems to want "rat-tat-tat, yo" myself included). I think orange trim shirts can either come later or you can DIY it. I mean if you think about it, the less the shirt costs cr0bar the more he can have made. Then again I just am not overly fond of the trim idea by any stretch.

He'll probably have the same number made either way, since he'll get as many as he can sell. Everyone seems to be "down" with paying extra for the l337 orange trim though.
Posted by veistran on May 24 2000,03:01
If it adds Ū-3 dollars to the base cost of the shirt that means it'd cost him about 赨 more for 72 shirts... if he only wants to spend 踰 dollars(I recall him saying this) and he wants to get a good qty. I personally don't see the feasibility of orange trim. And after all I'm quite certain that the same amount of people would buy a shirt w/o orange trim as would people who would buy one with, if not more. Consider that if the first batch doesn't cost alot and he sells it all then he'll be in a better position to make shirts with other stuff going on... but the first batch should imo be a one color tee with the little breast logo tagline thingy and a large graphic on the back.
Condesned
a) simple = cheaper
b) cheaper = cr0 can order more shirts = more to go around
c) more shirts = more money generated for cr0 so he can have more/different shirts
d) more/different shirts = more happy customers

Now then, feel free to disagree with me but the logic there to me seems pretty solid.

the first run of shirts should go out to the people that have been here from the start. The next batch could go to the rest of us lam0rs.

I don't think selling it to those who have been here since the start is a good idea. cr0bar didn't keep a list of IPs of every hit to his site, BUT he did have that list of domain names that read the matrix bastardization. Whatever happened to that? Speaking of things disappearing from his site, what happened to those IRC logs of ideas cr0bar had? There was really cool about a dual or quad Athlon gigahertz processors and all kinds of shit. Really funny log! So cr0bar if you wouldn't mind post those back up.
Just to reaffirm what I said. I don't think selling the shirts to those who have been here from the start is a feasible idea.

No pressure, cr0. What I meant was I wanted to see the final design. I think there's been enough posts here to figure out what the users want to see. If I had Photoshop, I'd do some mockups myself. Definitely we need to see a final design that people are happy with before you order any, and the first batch go easy on the numbers to get a feel for how well they sell. That way, you don't go out on a limb buying 500 shirts to sell only 50.

Keep up the good work.

For once I'm going to say go simpler... all the crazy explosion stuff is going too far. Let's just stick with Cr0bar's most recent design (logo tag on front/smile guy on back).

I think it's really a matter of orange trim or not and picking the best tag line. If this batch goes well, then I'll be expecting a second batch, so let's just keep it simple.

Yeah I like the last the best, but that would be really expensive, and everyone here dosen't seem to like that sort of thing. I must agree with lizzy on shirt 7. Although I think just det.net on front with tag line (no evil head), and big evil head on back (really big).

I'm sorry for anymore controversy, but wouldn't this tag-line be increadably lame? I mean, for those who understand det.net, it would be funny, but for those who understand l33t speak or can figure out what this says (all my friends), this would be like the lamest thing in the world... It does along with "I am a hacker. Fear me" or "I won the award for smartest gut ever!" or something like that. It makes anyone who wears seem concided, we all are, but do you really wanna advertise that?

It should either be a full frontal design or just a logo on the side. If you have something on the back, put just a logo on the side on the front with a little quote below it. That will be good enough.

LordBrandon: Sir, you've done some nice designs. I'll reiterate what's been said. The tag line "1 g07 r3wt 0n a1 j00r hax0rs h4w": is both long, and cockyish. cr0bar mentioned earlier the idea of no tagline at all. Like in LordB's design
Number 5 but we'd have to put it in det.net orange. And I'll say again, whatever cr0barsir decides I'll buy.
I was going to offer the suggestion of perhaps hooking up with Copyleft to sell the shirts, but that might be too much.

I've been talking with copyleft for almost a month now. Actually, that's just about how long it takes them to respond to my e-mail....

I like the idea of having the stuff on the front centered instead of on the left breast (huh huh, he said breast). I am also leaning towards NO TAGLINE.

Black shirt, centered "detonate.net" w/ or w/o the headphone dude, larger headphone dude on the back.

BTW, STOP BITCHING (you know who you are) that this is taking a long time. If you want to drop 躔, then we'll get it done faster. I wouldn't expect to see these things until mid-june.

Congrats go to LordBrandon for actually making some designs. Good job buddy.

Of the ones you made I'd have to say I like 11 the best. You're right, it (the front) does look better when it's centered. But I also have to agree with most everyone else and say that tag-line isn't gonna cut it.

I was kinda hoping someone would find a cool way to put an explosion in. Just the face on the back is kinda sparce. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Of course everyone is gonna like whatever cr0bar designs, but who's to say someone can't make a better design?

in my humbe opinion, keep it simple. centered detonate.net on the front with no headphone and a large headphone on the back. that way, people would ask about the site, but they wouldn't think you an idiot because of a badly chosen tagline. and what happened to cr0 putting a mock signature on each one. . .

I've got a price quote, and now all I need is money. I am thinking about setting up a paypal (www.paypal.com) account to handle all the payments and to help with pre-orders. Yes, I'll have to do pre-orders for a little while. The good news is that after this, getting more shirts will be easier, as well as other cool things like Ratpadz.

Got that right, I NEVER woulda guessed it would have gone off like it did. Here I was hoping it would get enough replies to get on fire. ^_^

It's all good though, everyone just wanted to add their Ũ.02 to make sure the shirts didn't suck ass (not that the other shirts do) and to hopefully have a hand in creating what in the end they were buying.

Hey eng_man, i'm impressed with your thread here, 8 damn pages dont you feel proud of your baby? heh heh

_on_ topic.. a dig detnet head thing on the back with the s0ap quote under it, and a centred detonate.net word on the front.

Heh, in all seriousness cr0bar is working on the shirts. Hope this little tidbit of info that cr0 emailed me a while back will calm your worries.

BTW, I'll probably be making a shirt order at the end of this month, when my computer gets here (I just moved).

Posted by Ozymandias on Jun. 26 2000,22:23
I'll buy a detnet shirt, I can guarantee you that. That would be sup4-l33t. Okay, I admit it, I didn't read through the whole thread, but I get the jist of it. Well, you probably aren't taking suggestions anymore, but I'd suggest:

Centered orange detnet-head on the front, with a quote underneath it (I'd say Rat tat tat or Stupid Soap) with the detonate.net logo on the back, and below it it says "l33t." I would make a picture, but Best Buy were fag0ts and threw away my hard drive, so I'm on my dad's computer right now. (He isn't home often, due to his job, so it's pretty convenient)

Ah well, whatever the design, it's gonna kick ass, and I'm gonna buy one.

And when someone asks about detnet I will laugh in their face! h4w h4w!


Posted by Bozeman on Jun. 27 2000,05:07
8 pages is impressive, but only if the posts are relevant to the original topic. Toward that goal, I would definitely buy a detnet t-shirt. Just put the headphone guy insignia on the front lapel, and the url on the back, with a list of bastardizations. cr0's signature would also add a nice touch.

Posted by whiskey@throttle on Sep. 18 2000,03:51
Here's my 2 cents: if you're going to make a shirt and go through all this trouble, it should have something more than just the det.net logo on it. A design with a real tech look, perhaps with a little 1337 speak on it, perhaps peppered with some Aurabesh ttf (man, that shit always looks cool)...just more than a logo.

p.s. - I'd buy one regardless.


Posted by BLacK-JEsuS on Sep. 21 2000,21:54
give me a damned tshirt.
Posted by aventari on Sep. 21 2000,23:59
yeah, i agree w/ whiskey on that one.
i've always been partial to the circuit board style motif. Like in the background behind the logo or something?
