Which T-Shirt Will You Buy?

[Gary Teter]

Which T-shirt will you buy?

Update from from 5/6/08:

Good news, everyone!

We've received enough pledges for all three designs, so all three shirts are now available for preorder!

We'll collect preorders for a little while so that we can get estimates of the popularity of each size, and then we'll have them printed for you, so it will be a few weeks before they're available.

Update from 6/9/08:

Sadly, less than 30% of the people who pledged their support for the Valeros T-shirt actually placed an order for it; that's not enough to break even on the cost, so we have canceled it.

The Golem and Goblins T-shirts, which will each be limited to a single print run, will be available in July.

[Gary Teter]

I think I like all of them.

[Mark Moreland]

Awesomes!!! I assume there will be a full series of iconics shirts? If so, pledge me for the whole line as well.

Though I feel weird committing to buy something without knowing what the shirts will be priced.

[Callous Jack]

Awesome.
The Golem shirt for sure although I'd prefer it to be just a smaller icon underneath the paizo name or maybe on the back.

I agree, but if I to choose I'd go with the goblins(Too bad none are in my size)

Another Golem for me, too.

I have the same problem

[Joey Virtue]

I want the Goblin Shirt for when I run Burnt Offerings

[Gary Teter]

D'oh! That's what I get for using my own little pea-brain. This poll is supposed to be just about the designs, not the sizes. Updating the poll now -- you'll want to re-vote when the poll updates.

[Fake Healer]

I like the blue one, the red one and the green one.
WTF, quit it with the black already! White shows off Cheesie-puff dust too well!
I want some friggin' colors!!!! I'd buy 1 of each in large if you offered other colors!!!

[Wicht]

What is the price we are looking at?

[Lori B]

I am "pledging" to buy, but would prefer to confirm price, size and color before it goes too far.

[Jagyr Ebonwood]

[nitpick] I'm disappointed that the final line of the goblin song on the t-shirt was changed to "we the goblins - you the food!"
I much prefer "we be goblins - you be food!" [/nitpick]

[Timitius]

Count me down for a Golem t-shirt. My pledge.

I'll pass on the black for now...I have enough black gamer t-shirts to be thoroughly misunderstood by the media. ;-)

[Jacob Burgess]

Prices should be fixed at the top.

As far as confirming size and the like, this is more to get a feeling for things. Also, make sure you "vote" if you are "pledging". it will record all data needed for us to send the e-mails once we get it all in.

[Lori B]

Thanks Jacob. It's much more clear now.

[Utak]

I'm in agreement with a few others that different colors would attract me to a purchase (browns, reds, blues). I like white and would love the Golem. As another poster stated though, the Golem seems a bit too big for the shirt. Maybe the Golem on a smaller scale in the front or a large Golem covering the back.

I really like the Goblins and the Goblin song, but I don't think I could wear the shirt with the song on it. People around my area still think RPG's are for satanists. The Goblins by themselves though, might sell me.

Now I really like the Iconic idea, but I would need a color other than black.

Hope this helps in your Marketing designs.

Cheers

[Jacob Burgess]

Personally, I'm totally going for one of the Gobby shirts, if it makes the cut.

Then again, I'd wear Goblin Underwear. I loves Goblins. I loves them good.

*mutters to self, wiggles toes, drinks brandy*

*harumphs*

[Wicht]

Any details about how they are going to be printed and what the shirts will be made of?

Hate to be a pest but details like this would really help me decide whether to pledge for a shirt or not.

[Jason Grubiak]

Nah. I dont really care for any of them.
I might get the Paizo Golem one but I cant promice I would so I wont vote.

Can we PLEASE get back more of the B&W Goblin Shirts with the song on the back?

It was so much better than this color one.

[Fatespinner]

I really like the huge golem icon and I totally understand that that particular design wouldn't look very good in any other colors. The other shirts are cool too, though, and I think maybe if you offered other dark colors it would be good. Maybe Navy Blue, Burgundy, and Hunter Green?

For a small extra charge (to be determined) you can make it a Hide Shirt. Much longer lasting than a 100% cotton version.

[Tarlane]

I put in for the goblin one(just because the PF goblins are pretty awesome) and the valeros one. I too side with the person above mentioning whether you are going to do all the iconics this way, it would be neat to go for the set.

[Andrew Phillips]

I voted for the Goblins. But as stated above:

[nitpick] I'm disappointed that the final line of the goblin song on the t-shirt was changed to "we the goblins - you the food!"
I much prefer "we be goblins - you be food!" [/nitpick]

[jubilee]

Are these images going to be on the front or the back of the shirt? I'd need to know that before I bought or pledged to buy anything.

I like the goblin t-shirt best, but as I've recently ordered the existing back and white one, I'm unlikely to buy another one, so I guess I'll be waiting for the next round of designs =)

/ali

[SageSTL]

How about a more simple shirt with the Pathfinder or Paizo logo only (centered or to the side)? I'd really like a Paizo shirt, but honestly wouldn't buy one of these.

[Mulban]

So, what are the early results?

I like the Golem, but I go for the understated cool.

Where and how does one pledge?

[TigerDave]

Shoot - I want all "three"

DM Duties: Gobbies
Just mulling around: Paizo Golem
I gets to play??!!: Associated Iconic shirt

Voting for a shirt counts as a pledge.

If you've voted for a shirt but don't want to pledge, you can change your vote. (Uncheck whatever you've checked, and click the "Vote" button.

So that's a pledge to buy 60 of the Goblins design. OK then!

Hehe. I crack myself up. :-)

[Mark Moreland]

While I voted for both the fighter and goblins shirt, I want to second (or third?) the request above for varying colors of shirts. I don't so much mind the goblins on black, but it would be cool to have a whole series of the iconics, each on a different colored shirt. Nothing from the elementary school color wheel, but toned-down variations on them would be awesome (no bright yellow, red, green, blue but rather marigold or rust, burgundy, hunter green, cyan, etc.)

What ever happened to the Critical Fumble Deck Tee Shirt?

Lisa had said (in a previous post - link below) that she was going to order some of those-

[Taliesin Hoyle]

I like the Paizo shirt, because it is uncluttered. The goblin shirt should really be just the Reynolds goblins and Pathfinder logo on front and unchanged 'we be' song on the back. As is, the design is too cluttered. The Valeros shirt has the same issue. It has the stats mashed up against the image. Two of the stats are obscured. If you really want to use the character sheet, use the whole thing, bio and all, and have the graphic offset in the same way it is in the second volume of pathfinder. I think this shirt would also benefit from having Valeros on the frone, with the PF logo, and his character sheet on the back. I know that this ups the printing costs, but what you have is crowded and awkward. I am going to see what comes out of the second wave of shirts, and hope there is one.

If you want to solicit our opinions and desires for a shirt like this, how about having us vote on different permutations for each shirt, and offer a few colours. Check out www.threadless.com for a parallel.

If I wear it shouldn't you guys be paying me to advertise?

Ha ha, funny Kruelaid.

[Kruelaid]

Can I get a shirt with that ugly blue kobold with the mushroom?

[Timespike]

These are all cool, but I have to be honest; I'm used to $5 patriotic t-shirts from Kohl's, and $8 plain ones from Eddie Bauer. None of these designs are enough to make me want to dump $25 on. If they were closer to $15, then I'd probably snag one. Then again, I'm probably not the target market for this particular product. If I'm going to give Paizo $25 (which is not something I at all mind doing, mind you!) I'd rather have one of their books that I don't already have. :)

That said, if you want to sell me clothing, a black, fade-resistant polo with a small Paizo logo on the left breast would probably work on me...

[wizzo]

To go with the trends these days and to make for a more lasting shirt, I'd say the design for the golem is the best bet, the other graphics (the gobs and the fighter) will fade too easily and the richness of color always feels heavy on the chest.

I'd say more abstract (e.g. the golem)or black & white graphics are the way to go.

Also, It'd be nice if the golem was situated more laterally to wrap around the sides. OR OR OR make it smaller and be exclusively a side print.

Things like this can make for excellent AND classy t-shirts, that your non-DnD playing significant others will actually think look good on you.

Also, if I come off as elitist it's only because I'm in graduate school for design (albeit architecture, but design is design)

Just some things to consider from your friendly design consultant, and maybe I can photoshop up some examples, if I get a moment.

[wizzo]

Also, I love the goblin song, but I think it's too much writing for a t-shirt. Kind of like those church group t-shirts, with motivational messages on them. And who wants to be compared with that?

[Stephen Ingram]

I also think that the song on the goblins T-shirt should stay "We be goblins! You be food!"

[Combert]

I must say that I would have preferred a more simple goblin design (I like the goblins). More like the last shirts that were just black and white.

These design are too "nerdy" to be used anywhere but at a gaming night.

I want a shirt I can wear at work and not totally alienate myself :-)

[yellowdingo]

Goblins on Shoulder in Powder white on Black T-shirt - but Goblin Warsong too small then. Same again on Huge 1mx2m Black Bathtowel But with Goblin Song...in such a way as you can use towel as black flag with Goblins on it.

[Clive]

I would love to buy a shirt from you guys, but to tell you the truth, these designs don't impress me too much.

Too much text on the Goblins and Fighter shirt.

I like the Paizo golem, but I don't like the white background.

I would love a shirt with that picture of the goblins on it, and then just "We be goblins - you be food" printed on it somewhere. I wouldn't buy any of these though, unfortunately.

[Chris Gunter]

I love all three! The Fighter shirt is a little cluttered, though.

Let's see... decisions, decisions...

I definately have to go for Goblins! The Paizo goblin redesign is already legendary and I want to show my support! I also have to agree with the one complaint that's floating around: the last line should stay "we be goblins - you be food!"

Kruelaid wrote:

Same here.

[crazy_cat]

Golem for me.

[Dragnmoon]

I voted Twice... 1 for the Golem, 1 for goblin *though I like the original song more*... I hope that is allowed..

I am looking foward to getting them.. ;-)

How are you going to do sizes though?...

[Aberzombie]

WTF! NO Zombies?!? I feel so unloved.

Otherwise, I'd pick the goblin t-shirt.
