The Long Awaited GC Tee-Shirts gc news

[Flitterkill]

Well it only took seven-plus years to actually get around to turning these things out.

 

Sure, there were FragFest Ohio shirts, but, not the same.

 

These will be up in the store sometime in March.

 

The store is not live yet. We've just secured an SSL certificate (not producing our own, this is, ya know, legit and stuff) meaning any page we kickout in https: format will register as and actually be secure. Meaning your credit card info is safe in transit.

 

Yes, we will now be taking credit cards along with paypal for payments for not only the shirts but also membership dues as well.

 

As you've noticed the top of the forums has changed (again...). The game server browsers can no longer live in the upper right corner of the forums. The top of the forums is the global header and is used on every page in the forums. Including the forthcoming store front. Meaning SSL sez "Hey now!" and marks any https: page they are on as insecure as those banners are hosted off-site at GameTracker. So they had to be moved out of the header. For the moment, they are only on the board index. I'll push them to the other forum pages as I can.

 

If you get any weird formatting errors while cruising the forums you'll need to just click refresh in your browser to force the new CSS formatting over. You may need to do this on each type of page (board index, topic index, topic view, posting page, etc.) It'll clear fast anyways if you don't.

 

So yes... Tee-Shirts. Coinciding with our March Membership Drive.

 

This is just a preliminary callout. Looking to get some rough numbers on quantity and sizes mainly. That will determine the how many and when of production. These will be real screened shirts, not digital whatzit. They are only one color after all. That color may be black ink or it may be white or perhaps both; depending upon shirt colors. If you are looking for long sleeves or hoodies that stuff is doable as well.

 

Prices shipped to you (lower 48 states, elsewhere more) will vary depending upon the what and the quantity of what. Short-sleeve tees shipped to you will *probably* be in the $10-$15 range. Everything else will be more. As with all things GC we aren't looking to swim in a large pile of money but we must cover costs and would like to rake in a tiny amount of jack to sprinkle upon our gameservers (I mean, you do realize what will happen around here when CS:GO drops right?)

 

All we need from you at the moment is to take a look at the mockup and if you are interested post up number and sizes. I'll tally in this post as a rough guestimate we'll use for production (if anything, just for the ratio of M-L-XL-Bloaty) There will almost certainly be extras avail after initial production in the store but once we get through the first wave of people who actually pre-order, sizes and colors remaining will vary...

 

So welcome to the first GC Tee-Shirt Pre-Pre-Ordering.

 

The stars will be better grunged as will the wasd keys. Outside of that, there it is.

 

[Biggs]

Why is that shirt so wrinkled?!! I do like the stars on the wasd keys, I find even at work my hand naturally rests in that position, haha.. Awesome job by the way!

 

I expect to order 1 XL

[Shazz]

Schweet! I will be ordering one too

 

edit: forgot my size L

[Flitterkill]

And that size would be...

[stutters]

i'm in for an xl, unless they're the hipster style fitted shirts, then bump me up to a xxl.

 

and in a rare moment of seriousness, hats off to flitterkill.

[lousiest]

So it wasn't an urban legend after all

 

+1 M for me

[Clueless]

NIce! I'm in for a L and an XL.

[shift]

put me up for M

[Shazz]

Hook me up for 2. A M and a L.

[Tirtul]

Im in for a L and XL and if you can choose colors green (L) and blue (XL)

[Madvillain]

The shirt is awesome! Nice job FK. I will be wanting one but I am going to hold off for now, I want to hear how they fit according to the sizes people ordered. I hate when shirts are smaller then most shirts equal size, I'm a big kid and I need room to move.

[RadioKnight]

Very nice! Large for me please!

[Clueless]

Kid sizes available?

[Flitterkill]

Of course; this is all just to get a ball park idea of rough amounts and sizes. And then we'll probably not quite double the number based on that to have a reserve. Once we get down to it in two or three weeks we'll take specifics to guarantee what people want, colors, sizes, etc.

 

I didn't realize you were that tiny Clueless...

[Clueless]

Thought I'd get my almost 1 year old to represent

[EbilDustBunny]

so cool

[radical187]

I'll support it! That would be a L!

[Ringadon]

I'd be down for an XL but will need further pricing stuff before I can completely commit

[Primus]

Hi guys, its been a while. The shirts look great. I'll take a 2x if you have those, hehe.

[crasx]

M!

[Barashin]

Oh man, put me down for 2 M's.

[simkiller]

If you could do long sleeve I would buy a couple even if it was a little more. XL if you're able to.

[Flitterkill]

Yeah, LS shouldn't be a problem (I'll be getting one or two myself)

 

What is probably going to happen is we will do a straight pre-order for tees (long and short) as well as hoodies or sweatshirts. In addition to those *confirmed* orders we'll get a batch of tees (long and short) as inventory; not much, but enough so stragglers and what not can get in on it. Tees we can keep (read: afford) inventory on; hoodies not so much so those will be a "now or never" kinda thing.

[Jibbajabba]

I would buy two shirts, one L and one XL.

[crunchyorphan]

I would buy three, 1 small (Green), one large (blue) and one XL (brown)
