I see the idea of T-Shirts were discussed, and I'd be happy to help out setting up a shirt shop for Conjoint.
I've done something similar for the last gaming community I was part of, we used Spreadshirt and recruited designs from our art board. Shirts were generally $20, making about $3-$5 each and had designs on them relating to community in-jokes and logos.
If we did the design recruiting thing I'd recommend accepting designs in a dedicated board, and figuring out a way to pay the artist ~ 50% of the profits from the shirts a month.

That would actually be pretty damn good. I'd love to help out with some designs. As would some others here. And with a ~50% cut it would definitely help everyone involved.
Would love to help make some shirts, both CG centered, and different designs.
The problem we've had with shirts in the past is cost.I do know there's a limit on how low prices can get on SS, but we could even sell some (or all) shirts for no premium (and thus little gain) for about $16 such as one of my favorite YouTubers does (http://broteam.spreadshirt.com/).
Even $20 is a bit steep for something like a CG shirt, unless somehow we get ridiculously good designs that look so amazing people decide they want to pay $20 for it

I think bracelets would be cool, I would definitely buy one.
Shirts seem a little too, expensive and I don't think many people would buy em. I wouldn't wear it personally :P.I didn't read any of the posts above, have to go in like 5 minutes.
Customink is nice, but only for bulk orders of 30+ shirts.
I think we'd have to do limited runs of stuff to keep prices down, which wouldn't necessarily be bad, we'd just have to hit that 30+ mark to keep prices low.
That being said, if we could be at least 75% sure we'd hit that mark, I don't see the problem with doing sales like that.
Once we get a design and stuff, have people preorder shirts, so you have an idea of how many you'd need to get? If it's 30+ go with customink, if not go with somewhere else?

After that, price would depend on colors, type of shirt, and shipping. I'll make a mockup with the CG logo to check costs, but after that all we'd need to worry about would be hitting the 12-person mark.
I'd be willing to try out making a shirt design.
Us creative people could make some stuff. I'm willing to make some T-shirt designs.All I need for a design is a PNG or JPG that's about 1000x1000 (dimensions can vary, but that's what it should be roughly). It has to have a transparent background and you need to use 5 colors at the most. Other than that, go ahead and create some stuff, I'll throw it up on the shop to see what the prices look like.
Whatever they say do not let there be a Doge shirt.
as long as inject doesn't know my shipping address, kthx.I'd handle shipping if it couldn't be done automatically. Assuming the CLs and whatnot are ok with that :P
What would be the biggest the shirts can be and the smallest?

I may or may not have edited a selfie photo of inject.

You are all welcome.
I know I said otherwise but I want a Dogeject shirtI can totally make that happen, if otter's ok with me putting his design on the shop.
So that would leave black for a neutral colorIf it's just a shirt on the store (which I'll put up soon, btw), you can choose colors.
...... Well this happened. I'll wait for a shirt to rep that won't make one of my friends murder me. Not even in my sleep. Just where I stand.(the doge-ness of the shirt is unfavorable)
...... Well this happened. I'll wait for a shirt to rep that won't make one of my friends murder me. Not even in my sleep. Just where I stand.(the doge-ness of the shirt is unfavorable)Yep, this was mostly for shits and giggles. I have still recieved 0 suggestions or artwork concepts to use for the shirt drive. I assume we need some sort of incentive to get people to make them, despite the fact they'd get 25%-50% of the profits of the drive (depending on how many shirts are ordered, etc.

Well that's a little wrong. *cough*You did PM me a design, I lost it unfortunately :/ As for commissions, everything I put on the shop has a 60% commission for creators. If it were to be a shirt drive, IE we have 30-50ish people sign up for one shirt so they're cheap, I'd give more of the profits to CG since it would be community-oriented, and thus beneficial towards CG itself.
Maybe nothing CG oriented. But maybe that's up to the head admins to decide - server oriented shirts that could be decided by community (hand picked by HA, or all if slim pickings) for some benefits on server, maybe?
