Question. What colors are available for these shirts? I refuse to buy black shirts on account of the fact that I own a couple cats and the shirts look pretty pathetic in black with tan cat hairs all over it. FH |

Damn. No wonder my old group liked going to Cons and playing a game called "count the geeks in black shirts". Guess we all have no personality besides a bunch of white words on a black shirt. Sad.

Call me when you get colorful, I'll buy. I can certainly understand, variety is the spice of life, but for me all I buy is black T-shirts because of bowling. They put so much oil on the lanes these days that any color shirt worn other than black gets a stain that doesn't come out. With a black shirt, they oil is still there, but you never see it. I might have to pick up a few of these. My local Arena Football team has been rather stingy with the black T-shirts the past couple years and I need something new other than WWE shirts. LOL |

The first time I went to GenCon (1992), my brother and I were wandering in the dealers' hall. I looked down at a table, and looked up, and my brother was gone. Now, when I'm looking for someone in a crowd, I try to pick a feature to look for. My first thought was "he's wearing a black T-shirt." Then I realized that that was everybody in the room. So I looked for beards and glasses. And slightly overweight. I eventually narrowed my search parameters to about 2/3 of the people there. I found him 3 hours later when I left the hall to get lunch. I don't think I've worn a black T-shirt since. |

It's funny, in all my time in this industry, I have tried multiple times to make t-shirts that aren't black, because I really don't like wearing black t-shirts myself. And everytime that I did this, the t-shirt sold like crap and the black t-shirts outsold the colored ones 5 to 1. We even once make our first White Wolf t-shirts in 6 colors, and black would always sell out by day 1 of the convention, even though we brought 3 times as many in black. So I have to conclude that black t-shirts are what gamers want. -Lisa |

I should probably avoid going on away missions, since I'm wearing a Red Shirt (Chupathingy specifically). |

I too am a gamer who tends to wear black t-shirts...a lot. Now this isn't because of being sterotypical, or because black is the kewlest colour ever. No, the reason I wear black (t-shirts, long sleeves, oxford, etc) is because a black shirt with a nice pair (non-baggy) jeans, or slacks work for any situation. You will look both casual, and sophisticated at the same time. Other then black shirts, I also love brown t-shirts with phrases. Though to wear a brown shirt I must switch my black belt with silver buckle and black van's sneakers for my brown belt with silver & leather buckle and my brown converse sneakers. Go figure. Oh, and sadly Paizo. I don't buy shirts like this. Years ago sure, but now that I'm older I don't find much fun in wearing these kinds of shirts. Still though, fun shirt. |

I'm with you guys. A collared polo type shirt with some embroidered Cthulhu/D&D message would be perfect! I can only wear T-shirts on weekends, but if you had one with a collar, I could get away with wearing it to work... Oh...Ties would be good, too! |

Gamer polos would rock, especially if they were done innocuously. Replace the little 'Polo' horse on the left breast with a little glyph or rune of some persuasion, perhaps even a tiny Cthulhu head or something. |

So I have to conclude that black t-shirts are what gamers want. As a theater tech (and Mr. Logue can probably back me up on this), over half my t-shirt collection is black, and I'm always on the lookout for more black t-shirts. Particularly if they have no large, readable, noticable designs on them. Over half my black shirts have nothing on them, or only a small design on the left breast, easily covered for the duration of a performance with a strip of black gaff tape. I wonder what the cross section is between gamers and theater people is? |
