Are there any garage games t-shirts?

I'm always in need of new shirts. It occured to me today that I might want one with the gg logo on it. Are there any available anywhere?
A friend of mine set up a t-shirt production in about an hour. It seems extremely easy to do these days as all you really need to do is give the image and some specifications to an online t-shirt press co. and you're set.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people here would order one if they were readily available.

There are Zap shirts and GG hats and GG buttons but you really need to run into us in person to get one.

Could you not setup a CafePress shop?

If you were at IGC last year you were able to buy some GG promo gear for yourself. This is the only time I have heard of the stuff going on sale, the rest of the time its not normally available.

I'm looking into setting up a screen print with the logo on it. I'm trying to see if there's a site I can set it up on so that I can just give people a link to the design and they can order it directly.
I'd have a lot of 100 or so screened nicely so I can sell them but there are copyright issues involved :)

Cafe press apparently uses inkjets w/heat transfers... I don't know if any of you used to do that when you were 14 like I did, but it doesn't look good. :/I'm looking into setting up a screen print with the logo on it.

so yeah, like Logan has said, so far it's pretty much been go to IGC, get your t-shirt there :)
Maybe nab some extra ones by schmoozing or buying them when possible

Honestly though, the CafePress suggestion is a good one.
One more potential revenue stream certainly couldn't hurt right? Well, providing the overhead is minimal. (C;

I want a "Got Torque?" t-shirt with the spiffy new Torque logo on it! =)Honestly though, the CafePress suggestion is a good one.

Doubt you would ever see that happen Kirby. The GG guys don't like producing low-quality schwag.

I'd be willing to make and sell the shirts if I could get the legal stuff worked out with whoever is in charge of it.

Yeah it's all about screen printing. Transfers look super washed out, they only work on white, and they wash off after not too long.I'd be willing to make and sell the shirts if I could get the legal stuff worked out with whoever is in charge of it.

Either way. I don't think there is much interest on GG's side.

@Rob Green - Good luck with that. I contacted Benjamin bradley about making up some GG t-shirts and he never got back to me. Maybe he forgot in the run around (known as E3) . Who knows ?Either way. I don't think there is much interest on GG's side.

That's too bad. It would be paid advertisement for them and nerdy fashion for us.
