BHW Merch

**marusia** · 11-06-2011, 01:09 PM

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I think it's a legitimate idea.

I would really like to get some BHW merchandise to wear around town. If I want to do it, I don't think I'm the only one that's had the idea. I'd gladly pay $20 for a good quality shirt. I'd pay even more if it were customized with my name on it.

I'd gladly do all the research and find the suppliers who could fulfill our demand. I think the best way to get logos is to have a contest from willing designers, and the prizes could be donated software packs.

It's just been on my mind, what do you think?

I think it would sell, I think it'd make some money but at the same time I don't think it's a great idea to go walking around in :P just my personal opinion

**marusia** · 11-06-2011, 01:24 PM

I honestly don't think most people would pay mind to it. If you're a BHW member, it would probably create attention, but most people don't rush to their computers after seeing a t-shirt. :-)

I do get a LOT of following on BHW, and I am constantly talking about it with people I meet face to face. I personally would like to have a shirt and don't want to illegally take images off the site and get something made. ^_^

I'd be proud to wear a BHW hat or t-shirt. Or even a hoodie - awesome!

**zmoney** · 11-06-2011, 08:55 PM

I'm a hat wearer, I'd DEFINITELY buy a hat and a hoodie!!! Black surely

**LBrown** · 11-06-2011, 09:01 PM

I'd wear a nice shirt. I think Diamond Damien would be down with this idea...

**joshweaver9** · 11-06-2011, 09:02 PM

My best friend's family owns a tshirt shop hear in the US. If this is really going to happen I wouldn't mind organizing and getting quotes.

**marusia** · 11-06-2011, 10:52 PM

I also have some really good sources, this won't be any cafepress type crap. I knew someone who ordered a onesie there, and the image was incredibly pixelated and rasterized on crappy material. It was a joke.

**ContentCreation** · 11-06-2011, 10:54 PM

Im definitely down for this .. T-Shirts, Hoodies, Id wear em' both!

**blackhit** · 11-06-2011, 10:57 PM

I want one with STAFF on the back...

**download** · 11-06-2011, 10:59 PM

What makes you think you are going to get flamed? :P

I think it's an awesome idea, would proudly wear a shirt like that.

**marusia** · 11-06-2011, 10:59 PM

I invited the owner to this thread. I hope he'll make an appearance. :-D

**marusia** · 11-06-2011, 11:00 PM

Well, I don't know. I have ideas all the time and sometimes I get flamed. I figured since it hasn't happened in the last 6 years, that no one wanted it.

But now I'm thinking maybe no one has just suggested it yet.

**reinie** · 11-06-2011, 11:02 PM

Why do I remember it being done already? I have seen T-Shirts and stuff somewhere

**marusia** · 11-06-2011, 11:14 PM

Do you mean this? I think we can do much better than that. :-(

If this ever happens, drop me a line. I run a screen printing business in the US and can pretty much guarantee the best quality and a decent price. (free setup,artwork,shipping and no sales tax) :P

great idea! id love a BHW t-shirt, that site above the stuff is crap! i'm sure with the great designers on this forum they could come up with some epic clothing!

**Randy569** · 11-06-2011, 11:48 PM

I'd like a t-shirt or a hat, just so people would ask "What is Black Hat World?", and I can just smile and say "My little gold mine", and watch them stand there with that "WTF" look on their face.

That would be priceless.....

Thanks for the invite marusia. BHW merchandise is already in the pipelines. We are looking for suppliers at the moment, so pm me if you have any US QUALITY suppliers you can recommend. Really keen to keep it in the BHW family.

Don't forget about hoodies and hats. Screw a T-shirt.

**MrMonkeyDarts** · 11-17-2011, 05:50 AM

This would be awesome; no kidding! Could you imagine being stopped by a blackhatter at WalMart? That'd be so cool.

DeviantArt do this very well... If we could mirror what they do then it'd be great.

Check them out - google 'deviant art shop'

I think some prize donations from members for a design based competition would be great...

nice thread!
