The Shirts are in and the store is open and restocked;

New shirts have been printed, and this time we did them in Navy Blue.

So head on over to http://store.bzflag.org and help support the project, remember it's not cool to tank naked :)

We also still have a few of the older charcoal gray shirts left.

Well, we've sold over 2/3rds of our shirts, so it's time to start working on that reprint.

Will be doing another run of shirts, this time in navy blue instead of charcoal.
We will also be taking prepay orders for hoodies as well (with a few new color choices).
Pullover, http://store.bzflag.bz/index.php?main_p ... ucts_id=10
and Zippered, http://store.bzflag.bz/index.php?main_p ... ucts_id=11

But this time we are offering prepay orders for custom colored shirts, in addition to the Navy Blue, or older Charcoal.

If you prepay for a shirt on this order, you can pick any of the following colors, and we'll have it printed just for you.

We have 2 types of shirts available.
The standard shirt with the logo on the back, and small icon on the front
http://store.bzflag.bz/index.php?main_p ... ucts_id=14

And, a front logo shirt, with no small icon.
http://store.bzflag.bz/index.php?main_p ... ucts_id=15
for those that prefer to have a tank on your belly.

The pre order period will run until Sunday April 27th 2008 to give everyone ample time.

There have been a couple small pricing changes now that we have the hang of it.

Basic back logo shirts are still 12$ USD for sizes Small to Extra Large. XXL shirts are 13$ and XXXL are 14$.

Front logo shirts are a dollar cheaper at 11$ (S-XL), 12$(XXL), and 13$(XXXL)

Hoodies Small to XL are 27$, with XXL hoodies costing 29$.

If there anyone wants a XXXL hoodie, talk to me about it, we can do them, but they are a different brand and may be of a lower quality.

I am also pondering a long sleeve shirt if there is interest, so if that sounds like something you'd actually buy, chime in.

We still have some gray shirts in stock, in all sizes, so if you like that color, order away :)

These are good. What size are they in, mens or womans (I assume mens)? It would be nice if you had some feminine styles also. Someone else,(Timpson Texas) made some shirts way back and was going to put bz phrases on it like: Watch the language please, EEEEK , Don't team kill, Got shot by ...... Your lag is to high, Doh, Oucheeee, OOOF, ect. :) Kitty

The sizes are mens. I can totally print womens sizes and styles too. I'll build up a page for them tomorrow. Sadly I don't think we have that many ladies that play to warrant keeping some in stock (you all are welcome to prove me wrong), but I can print a few for those that specifically want them.

I didn't want to put text on the first run of shirts for a couple reasons.
1) No one could agree on a saying
2) Not everyone speaks English
3) Not all sayings translate well.
4) Sayings usually require explanation to those that 'don't get it'

We also can't relay print things in a low quantity to keep the cost down, so it has to be a very good design for us to print it (we do at least 50 shirts).

On that note, once this next run sells, the plan is to do some other designs, so if you have some ideas please let us know.

PS.
It looks like we can get some hats made too. Is anyone interested in those?

I've added 3 items to the store for various womens cut shirts in a number of colors.

Please note that the pre-order will end on Monday morning (the 28th) when I wake up.

Sounds like someone wants to start printing BZ bikinis...

The store has been restocked, this time with Navy Blue shirts. They look a lot better then the gray IMHO. We also stocked up on more of the larger sizes, so if we ran out of your size before you had a chance to get one before, now is your time.

Many thanks to those that pre-orederd hoodies or shirts in custom colors. Your items have been shipped and you should be getting them soon.

We do have a limited number of hats being printed, and they will be made available in a week or so when we get them.

How do I pre-order a hoodie? cause I need a hoodie but my parents didn't want me spending $80 on one (and bzflag is the only thing as cool as an $80 hoodie...)


*edit*
I probably don't need a hoodie now that's it getting into the 100f temperature. I still want one though!

the pre-order for those ended on Sunday April 27th 2008 as was said in a previous post. All we have are blue t-shirts in stock.

We would need to have an order of at least 50 more items to do more hoodies. (we can do as few as 24, but that makes the hoodies cost about 34$ each ).

The hats came in today

They are very lightweight and a nice dill green color. They are made by Ping and feature a "coolmax" wicking sweatband inside. They are one size fits all with a Velcro closure.

I only printed a couple of them and have 4 left. They go for 16$ a pop + shipping. I'm not going to make a store page for them since I only have the few of them. If you are interested in one, please let me know. If these are popular I will have more made.

I'd like a zipper-hoodie as well, but I've missed the pre-order a couple times.

Could you leave the pre-order open until you get 50 orders? If you let everyone know that it might take some time to get the item, I'm sure we can wait till they are ready.

we have not sold over 15 hoodies to date. I left the last pre order open for nearly 2 weeks. I'll see about seeting up some sort of e-mail notification when they become available again.

Jeff I'll buy 2 hoodies if you notify me (if you do it late june, I'll hopefully be visiting another BZ friend, so I would have to wait till I get back).

My Profile & contact information

$34 isn't that bad either, I almost got a $75 one, and then my mom talked me out of it so I wanted to design a personalized bzflag one.

This is still great :)

Just for knowledge, what payment methods do you accept?

at present I am not set up to personaly notify people when we are going to do a print run again. I will look into moving the preorder items into there own section so that interested users can have the store notify them when we are going to do them again.

we currently only accept paypal. I do not see us being able to accept other forms of payment due to how small we are.

Ok, I've set the store up for notifications. If you make an account on the store you can get global notifications for any product updates, or just the items you are interested in. The 2 hoodie pre-order pages are up so you can select them for notifications if you want, but I would recommend the "global product updates" option.

Then when we have more items or new pre-orders I send out an update and everyone can be notified.

cool, paypal, if I can get my account hooked with my bank account... it's soo long and complicated :P
