Original Humor T-shirts

[Steel Buddha]

Hey guys, I haven't been on here or my sketchbook in awhile because I've been working on a t-shirt business with my friends. Right now we're just trying to get our name out there, so if you'd take a look I'd really appreciate it and I'd love to hear what you think.

nice site design (rare I say this), though i'm not too fond of any of the tshirts (the slogans etc rather than the designs)

Thanks for the feedback Grumbledook. So what kind of shirts interest you? Are you more a a graphic tee person or what would you like to see instead?

Hello :)
No offense but here are my opinions

Its a pretty alight website design but I don't like the the first page is a blog? You need a store front and the blog should be a sub page.

I also don't like that I can't seem to find a way to see a close up of the design. and I'm not a fan of the designs as well, they are all college dorm douche- family guy loving esque. But that is indeed a market of people.

Haha, none taken and any feedback is useful. Yea we should probably have a bigger design preview. And we're debating what to do with the blog so we might just switch to a store front. Who knows. I shall relay these thoughts to my team.

There's probably not much of a market in this, but what I would like to see are T-Shirts geared more towards real hardcore gamers. Maybe a few references or designs from games such as wing commander, or fallout. None of the leet, and halo culture stuff you see these days. They don't have to be just humor either. Perhaps a blue shirt with the vault number on the back? You know. Shirts that some people would get the pun, but others wouldn't and still like the designs anyway. Easier said than done haha.

My opinion as a woman....Don't be offended...is that I wouldn't really care much to buy most of these shirts. I agree with MnM about the store front look rather than the blog.

It's a good start though. ^.^

@CosmoChimp I feel ya man, I've been wanting to do a shirt that makes fun of metal gear, but then again thats a humor shirt. And I dont know everything that goes on with laws and whatnot, but I know that being a parody allows you to bring up the image of the intended subject, but just using images from games could get into copyright stuff.

@Obsidian Glynn Haha perhaps there's something to this storefront idea. And no offense taken, our market is a smaller one, so I guess it's gonna take awhile to get going.

Thanks for the opinions and I'd love to hear more. I hold this community in high esteem and so I value your input.

the only t-shirt site that i've seen that has decent designed shirts, that are ACTUALLY FUNNY, is T-shirt hell. and quite frankly dude, THATS your competition.
i bought one of their shirts awhile back.... its the one with the greyscale rainbow, it says "straight" underneath it.
i think i only considered buying it because it was black, and the graphic was gray stripes with gray type. i dont like lots of colors, and i'll NEVER wear a white shirt.
also, i cant stand the "will farrell" sense of humor.
i think that guy is a douche who shouldn't be anywhere near the front of a camera. i dont think he's funny at all, the same goes for your t-shirts. (aguaman did make me giggle)
there's also nothing thats pulling them together as a group. i hate sites that have t-shirts that are completely random in subject, AND in level of design quality.
even if the shirts aren't funny, but the designs are cool, you stand a pretty good chance that some will sale.
what i see on your site is childish design, childish sense of humor, childish sense of color...
sorry, im just not a child.
these look like they should be hanging on the wall of a tourist trap mega gas station truck stop type place somewhere in idaho, right next to the precious moments figurines. the only person willing to buy would be some redneck retard who thought it was hilarious... then again, you might get tons of free publicity when the guy shows up on COPS in your shirt...

i dunno man... i think you need to think about who your target audience is.
take a look around at what that target audience is actually wearing on a daily basis.
that should be the springboard for new designs.

@Complete2 Thanks for your opinion. And I am a kid at heart so I enjoy colors and flowers and frolicking in fields. It's too bad you wont be there beside me.

@Zaxer haha what? I enjoyed the oxy clean one. Billy Mays is crazy.

Appreciate the feedback, keep it coming. Por favor.
