Merchandise Follow-Up #2

We're officially on Redbubble! I'll let you guys know when our initial line of merch is ready to go.  (So much for taking a day off, eh?)

ETA: I'm planning to release designs inspired by our BTFAs, but I need to wait on those for a few months for three reasons:

1. I'm swamped with other UBC-related improvements.
2. I haven't finalized our newest BTFAs yet. ;)
3. I need to renew my Illustrator subscription. Vector files are good, mmkay?

Merchandise Follow-Up Post

Based on the maximum prices you guys said you'd be able to pay for a t-shirt, I don't think Zazzle is going to work out.

Based on my calculations, I'll need to bulk-order somewhere between 30-40 of them in order to make a profit, cover shipping and handling, and keep the selling price at $20. Unfortunately, this requires me to spend $200-300 upfront on shirts that have no guarantee of ever being purchased.

These are the two styles I'm considering. Given the upfront cost and time/expensive to ship these myself, I think selling just one shirt design and nothing else for now would be reasonable.

Merchandise

In an effort to raise some funds for our site overhaul, I'm going to start selling UBC merchandise.

I've been reluctant to sell UBC shirts because the LAST thing I would want is for some creep to visit our site and search for you because they saw our URL on your t-shirt. For that reason, no products will have our URL on them—just logos and tag lines. (In response to Gabby's comment—I can totally incorporate our BTFAs into the merch designs!)

So tell me: what types of items would you buy? What's the most you would be willing to pay for them?  (The ones pictured above totally have my vote!)
