I noticed this thread hadn't popped up in awhile..I figured it was time to fix that. There have been a lot of great ideas posted and quite a few hair brained ones as well...I honestly don't know which I like better.

Why not just make 5 or 6 shirts? Make one funny, cool, badass, sporty, polo, standard and extreme, and one scUM Sucks. Hell I buy more than one shirt at concerts...at least when it's RUSH. If there is a minimum amount that needs to be ordered so be it. Just have people pick an alternative should their first choice not get enough orders.

Other than some of our favorite trolls....We are all BUCKEYE FAITHFUL..and that this site is the first click of the day.....but your guess is as good as mine as how many of us would agree to what color shit is after that. So why pick one shirt that some will make some more happy with than others...give us a choice..Please!

I don't think the point of this is to start a line of t-shirts. I'd imagine it's going to be handled by only a few people, so it's gonna have to be simple. Besides, there are plenty of places out there to get novelty tOSU t-shirts.

I still think we should just repeat the shirts of a few years ago. Simple, easy. Give the choice of colors: red, white, gray, and short or long sleeve.

Well this proves my point about "everyone" being able to agree on "1" thing.

1. It doesn't take the staff of NIKE to come up with a few good t-shirt ideas. Is that Shake down the students shirt available yet? I'd love to wear that in town.

2. If I recall correctly an outside company will be doing the printing. Do they handle the shipping as well?

3. I'm not thinking novelty tOSU, I'm thinking novelty BP shirts. Hell you make the BP logo look like the the Tibetan flag with free UBET on the front and www.buckeyeplanet.com on the back I might have to seriously consider buying it.That is if he'll consider taking a courtesy BAN for about 30 days. Look I get it, you want simple..and think it has to be simple..you've said that all along. My point is that if you put 1 simple shirt out for sale..it will be the ONLY shirt you sell. As for me personally..I'd most likely buy 1..if for no other reason than I love this site. If you give a few good choices though...maybe one of the 750 guests (currently here) might buy one..and I might end up on a shopping spree.

I think that to start out, you keep it simple. Stay with what you know works, and don't deviate from what the largest portion of the consumer base can identify with, which is simple brand recognition. If it goes well, then explore other options. I still think, like NF said, the older motif works well. Buckeyeplanet.com on the front, logo on the back. Offer long and short sleeve. Scarlet, grey or charcoal and white options. Also, a polo with the logo on the left breast seems to be at least worth a look too, as long as it was high quality and sharp looking, I think many here would buy. Id personally like a rugby, but I realize that is probably not realistic. I would love to support this site in that way. I think if it were done right, it could actually even bring in a little revenue in addition to the donations. We want to keep BP free, right?

Ok just to be clear..I'm not saying scrap the simple idea. I expect a simple shirt to be offered. What I am saying is it doesn't take a lot to come up with a half a dozen other ideas as well. Hell I bet ORD could come up with about 20 before lunch today. I mean for crying out loud..we're talking t-shirts here not office buildings. There are any number of places that you can get shirts printed up at online. Many of these sites have ZERO set-up fee's and no minimum orders. That's the key, it's not like you need to print anything that isn't already sold.

I have not researched this company at all but here is an example.

Bump.

It's almost 2013, I was looking in the new/modified BP logos thread, and it made me wonder, will there ever be new shirts(still a fan of the current logo BTW)? I would definately buy a long and short sleeve t-shirt still, and the idea of a snazzy polo is pretty neat (that I could wear with my slacks and sneakers). It just seems like there ought to be a way that BP could get a cut of the proceeds, and everyone gets cool new duds.

I'd like to see the design be something like this:

A tyrannosaurus eating a M*ch*gan fan. And pooping on another M*ch*gan fan. And the tyrannosaurus is a HUGE tyrannosaurus - like, he's in the horseshoe, but he's towering above the horseshoe. And he's wearing an Ohio State jersey - I don't care if it has gray stripes or white stripes - but I want the numbers white. And the tyrannosaurus has a laser cannon and he's shooting Ann Arbor. And maybe with his other hand he's signing some autographs for some kids - you know, to show that he isn't such a bad guy - he just does bad things to M*ch*gan.
And maybe underneath the picture it should say something that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the picture. Like, "Don't trust anyone over 30!" Or, "Only YOU Can Stop Forrest Fires!"

And on the back... just some random test answer sheet. Like this:
1. A
2. A
3. C
4. A
5. B
6. A
...

Now THAT'S classy!

Either that, or something with boobs.

This awesome shirt idea didn't get nearly enough love. I saw this thread pop up today and read back through all the ideas and Zurp's had me in tears (laughing).

Seriously though, a simple one with the logo sounds groovy.
