UPSB v3
General Discussion / Penspinning shirts
a poll to judge interest
-
Date: Sat, Dec 26 2009 06:08:01
Not an official UPSB shirt, but rather a shirt with a design/text that is related to penspinning. To cover the costs of production and shipping, they will most likely be priced at 15 USD.
If there is no interest at all I won't bother coming up with a design.
If you are interested post the most you would be willing to pay, provided the design is decent/one you like. -

Sounds like a really cool idea~
Just one thing- I do think the design should appeal to non spinners at some level, since, well, let's face it, pen spinning shirts can draw quite a lot of negative comments from non spinners ("nerd", "no life"... you know what I mean).
so yeah, you might say we should be proud of the fact that we spin and ignore those, but I think that if we could create a shirt that spinners will want to wear, and non spinners will also think is cool, it'll be the best thing evur.
just a though

agreed.
it also depends on how good it looks. if it looks bad then i will probably not be willing to pay $15, maybe $10. but that just depends on the design that is provided. -

Hmm well it doesn't have to be anything obvious either if that's what people want. For example, I have a penspinning shirt that just says "UCPSB" and has the logo on it. Most people don't know what it is, but people who know me well recognize it.
We couldn't do UPSB or anything for technical reasons, but something similar would be nice i think -
Date: Sat, Dec 26 2009 22:57:50
color has to be black plz ^^
-
Date: Sat, Dec 26 2009 23:02:27
For technical reasons? Do you mean copyright?
I agree with Resonance's opinion... Maybe something much graphically will be nice, something that other Non-Spinners will like, too- and do not know the reasons of.
I'd buy a t-shirt if it fulfills these requirements (voted for "yes"). -
Date: Sun, Jan 3 2010 10:02:46
i voted yes.
But yes, i think it all comes down to the designs so maybe you could do up some and post them here?
I've seen the UCPSB one.
I think $15 for that is kinda high. i wouldn't mind if it was 12-13.
PDS has their shirts for $14. i don't mind paying 14 for their design, though I'd like something simple like the UCPSB one.
Of course, if the price can't be lowered, i don't mind $15 for a similar design to the UCPSB one.. if it's a comfortable material!
Yeap.
If it was a complicated design, $15 would be good. I saw the one that GLAND posted here not long ago. Looks awesome. I'd totally pay $15 for the design he shared. -

definitly if one has the quote Pari used in one of his vids, and a sick ass design
"Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art." - Leonardo da Vinci\
or a shirt that just says UPSB and has the UPSB logo
but i voted no because 15 is too expensive. i can actually make myself a shirt at a store in peru for 5 dollars, all i have to do is bring a usb with the pic i want in the front and in the back. so i could just bring my ideas and make my own shirt for much cheaper, and itl prob be more profesional

Date: Sun, Jan 3 2010 10:20:59
i don't think it'll say anything upsb.
Just some design that says you're a penspinner.
whoa $5?? WTF?!?!??@?!!??!?!
do one for me now pls. -

yeah in peru, labor is really cheap and these people do these jobs amazingly, im planning on making one next time i visit, because i live in florida now :\ -

Oh, right lol. Tell me ya?

That's in Peru dude.
It'll be about the same after s&h and taxes and crap like that.
I honestly think $15 isn't that bad. I mean $15 for a unique shirt that almost no one is going to have (people you see around in real life) its not bad at all.
And stop being so cheap. You guys probably spent well over $15 for a pen.
-
Date: Mon, Jan 4 2010 01:32:53
I would totally buy one. But yeah, I don't got 20 posts since the rollback.. so +1 Yes.

yeah but i go to peru very often anyways so thers no s&h, and also there is not much tax in peru. trust me it doesnt even go past 5 dollars -

What's your point?
Are you going to print out UPSB shirts there and bring it back and sell it for $5?
They're getting the shirts printed in the USA, not Peru.
And Peru is not America, so there is no point in comparing prices. -
Date: Mon, Jan 4 2010 03:02:01
For design try something abstract..

no i was just saying i wouldnt buy a shirt for so much, i could just make 1 for myself not sell
and also my dad is the CEO of a textile company, he makes shirts for Oakley, Hollister, Am eagle, Abercrombie...and has his own new brand... i alwasy get tens of free shirts and jackets throught the year, and if i really wanted i could make my own design there or get the personal designers design me a shirt, and make it on a Oakley or w/e brand i want shirt.

Ok
That's great and all.
So Neix just voted no, don't have to go on and on about it.
$15 is good for me
And what's S&H? -
Date: Mon, Jan 4 2010 03:27:55
we're still undecided on S&H
-
Date: Mon, Jan 4 2010 03:33:42
S&H is Shipping and Handling.

Oh>_< now that I look back i think he meant how much it was..not what it is..my bad xD -

I was actually asking what it meant but thanks for both answers!

Haha you're funny. Then don't buy it. Honestly, as I have said before, $15 isn't THAT bad for a unique shirt. It's not like the randomass shirts you buy at thrift stores or basic shirts. And if you have such ability, make one for yourself and be happy ^^ Most people don't have access to printing machines ,so they just buy shirts from stores/online.
Oh, and if you get tons of free stuff throughout the year, why do you want this shirt? Because it's a unique shirt? Well, you should make one yourself for dirt cheap since you have access to printing machines. And get your personal designers to make designs. Wait, I mean your dad's personal designers.
In all seriousness, just make a damn shirt for yourself and stop posting. It is very unlikely that they will sell shirts for dirt cheap like in Peru. Spoiled kid... -

ok good for you but the rest of us doesn't care since you can only do that for yourself. unless you can produce and sell cheap t-shirts for the whole community, all you're doing is bragging and pissing everyone off.
$15 is standard price for a music t-shirt so im fine with hthat -
Date: Mon, Jan 4 2010 07:34:37
I really like the idea of UPSB t-shirts.
What it comes down for me is the materials the shirt and logo are made out of.
And a shirt that is inconspicuous, (not super flashy rainbows and jumping ponies) Yet interesting (aka not just a plain logo) would be nice.
Either way I would still pay 15 dollars for one though. =] -

Though again, we'd like to emphasize, these will NOT be UPSB t-shirts. Just shirts related to Pen Spinning -

penwish is going to do upsb t-shirts some day, so nobody else can do them.
-
Date: Wed, Jan 6 2010 07:23:04
Not even before he does them?
-
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 13:55:22
so is this going to happen?
Im actually looking forward to this. -
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 14:08:27
Hey sorry, we're still trying to hammer out a decent design, we want to make sure it's something that nobody will not like
-
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 14:39:24
Ah ok.
It'd be good if you can keep us updated, maybe show us some simple ideas of what you have now. I mean, we don't have to like or dislike what you've got now but at least then you know what to change. -
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 15:09:02
im looking forward to see the design
-
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 20:36:56
can we maybe have a design contest? i mean there are quite a few good designers on this site. we could maybe do the same things as the modrod contest where people post their work and the community votes on the best one? winner gets a tshirt free? it would also be really good for finding a design that everyone likes and getting feedback right? idk im just putting a suggestion out
and what is wrong with a specifically upsb t shirt?
tho id personally buy both a upsb one or a psing one -
Date: Wed, Feb 3 2010 21:11:55
I like the idea of a contest, people try so much harder when there is a prize
And why do they have to appeal to non spinners? I think psing related is good, upsb related even better but I know you said no -

i think it should appeal to nonspinners too but i mean a stylized "upsb" on the shirt can attract not just psers right?
look at all of the text focused shirts that peop[le wear. i mean half of the writing is complete gibberish right? -

copyright issues
i think zombo said that penwish & upsb admins will be collaborating in selling upsb shirts
they can sell penspinning shirts, just not UPSB shirts -

It's an idea, the issue is people will become attached to the ones they like, and they'll "dislike" others, so no matter which we choose people will be upset and not buy because it wasn't the one they wanted.
We'll discuss it though
