IA Swag

[The Heretic]

Hey everyone, Kevin introduced the idea of IA t-shirts and other possible accoutrements over on the main site earlier this week. I'm going to copy his entry over here for discussion:

Guys, I'm wondering if there would be any interest in IA merchandise. A reader brought up the idea of an IA t-shirt to me today, and I definitely think it would be cool for people to be walking around wearing...well, us. I'm not sure if we can reasonably do it, because the only t-shirt printer I've ever used charged 10 bucks a piece, and I don't really want to make you guys pay 15 bucks for a t-shirt so we can turn a profit. If we want to do it, we'll then have to figure out if we CAN. I'm just wondering if there's any interest. And if you would buy something besides a t-shirt, let us know about that, too. Just leave a comment here or someone can create a thread on the message board for ideas. And I'll probably repost this next week, because I'm betting most people have already taken their weekly shot of IA. - Kevin

If you want a say in the matter, definitely speak up here, because it will play a large part in whether or not it happens anytime soon.

Why not create a design for a shirt, and make it downloadable? The we can just grab the design, print it out on some transfer paper, and iron it on to our own shirt.

Then maybe we can post pics of all of us out and about with our shirts on...

How is it that I have more posts than the author of IA?

[Kevin Cushing]

Oh I don't know, double posting probably helps

ha ha ha... you're a freakin' comedian! I'm dying over here you're so funny... but what about my t-shirt idea? Does it just plain suck?

[Kevin Cushing]

It does not suck, it's definitely something to consider. Afterall, the main idea is to get the name out there and get the merch to the fans. However, I have to admit it would be nice to make a little money off of them. If you weren't aware, running the site does not come for free.

Sure! I understand... this is America! Why wouldn't you want to exercise your Constitutional right to earn a few greenbacks?
