You'd have more credibility here if 1) you didn't whine about absolutely everything and 2) you didn't whine about absolutely everything because you're still tight about getting banned for insults so many times, which is nobody's fault but your own.
I care nothing about your credibility though, you are not my employer nor the person who manages my art account.
You continue to make long winded posts with overexerting rhetoric and little substance. You know NOTHING about design and or making merchandise and you want to tell ME about credibility? Check the diploma from Columbia in graphic design if my online "cred" is a problem. How is it possible that Hardaway33 (an NT member) is able to produce tees and other merch in mass quantities with well executed designs? Yet you all continue to fiddle around on something simple as T-Shirts? NT has been featured in NY Times TWICE, yet you can't make a simple phone call to Cap City? Why not contact Ben Baller I'm sure dude got connects.
But my advice (although it doesn't matter cause my credibility is shot cause I don't feel the need to Disney filter myself) you should link up with Hardaway and see how he is pressing shirt. His name is solid on NT and his business is doing well. I'm certain he can point you all in the right direction. Not that hard to OK designs and have them pressed even with Yuku server issues. Email/phone call only takes minutes. OR just do away with NT merch if it's too stressful, obviously you all are rebuilding Rome...and that takes time.

Wish I still had mines, hat was so huge I HAD to let it go.
That 3/4 fit like a 8 1/2
I need like a 7 or 7 1/4 in this to fit like a 5/8 that I actually wear.

Hmm, everything worth saying has been said. On another note I'm taking mines to the new era store to get it and the others cleaned for the summer. Does the new era store ever worsen the cap?

So much misplaced hostility over a message board's t-shirts... and I thought Yuku had security issues.
Speaking of a "long winded post with overexerting rhetoric and little substance" you just puffed yourself up and went through all of that nonsense just to say the same thing that I already said: that I, personally, don't deal with the merchandise. We did designate someone with professional design experience (and, frankly, I'd put his resume up against yours any day) to be in charge of the merchandising, but he's been MIA lately.
You haven't volunteered for the job. You haven't shared your portfolio. You don't have any meaningful advice to bring to the table other than, "ask somebody who's been successful at selling designs on here and have THEM do it." Solid insight there. In essence, you're just volunteering OTHER people to do the work? I can tell you to run 20 miles right now. It won't make me sweat.
In the past, you've complained about Rajah being the designer - and I think by now the motive there is pretty transparent - but, although you've convinced yourself that you're better qualified than he is, you never took the time to submit anything of your own. If somebody presented me with a great design, why wouldn't I consider it? Rajah and I have talked about doing design contests etc. in the past and that may happen in the future, but, when it comes to execution, what's so difficult to understand about preferring to have someone on staff who's done this work for large, well-known brands handle the legwork? Do you really think there's a long line of similarly qualified - and trustworthy - people willing to do all of this for free? None of the names you've mentioned have volunteered their services for this task. I'm not so egotistical as to think that it's an "honor" to ask someone to do so much work for free - even if the ultimate goal is to benefit charity. All of the people you named have the resources to do their own charitable fundraisers if they wish.
It requires nothing (save, perhaps, gall) to ask someone else to labor on your behalf. That's your contribution to this discussion? Thanks.
As for what I plan to do with MY time, the website itself takes priority. All of this is predicated in the continuing success of the community and the amount raised for charity from merchandising is penny ante in comparison to what the site itself has generated and is capable of generating. We mainly create merchandise because our fellow members enjoy it, not because it's a solid revenue driver for us. The Japan and Somalia fundraisers involved no wasteful physical merchandising and were FAR more successful at raising money for disaster relief efforts using only digital incentives.
Not everyone wants a t-shirt, no matter WHAT the design, but EVERYONE here wants the site to be the best it can be. Even if all you personally care about is merchandising, improvements to the front page etc. would make it infinitely simpler to let people know about product releases, so it doesn't make any sense to put the cart before the horse.
I may type more than the average user, but at least I'm not all talk.

There was a dude on here who had one of the most popular hat designs on theclinkroom.com, Basis NY I believe is a NTer he has skills, Fongstarr is wicked on the Illustrator, The guy who makes Random Objects tees, 206 is great etc. I just did a personal drop for Larry Merchant of HBO Boxing. Yet we can't get hats off the ground cause of Rajah. A dude like Fongstarr could handle anything you throw at him with his eyes close and one hand on the trigger. C'mon Meth.

But for real though. Get 206 or MSTRPLN to do some hats. Those guys already have been putting out hats on Clinkroom. They pretty much have the experience of putting out a proper fitted for NT.

Why do you think everything is hostile? I said my piece, if it came across as hostile than that's my fault. But as far as me not submitting anything, is 2 things: 1.) I'd never design for you (not that you are looking) not hostile just saying. And 2.) I agree with you, I'm at that point where I no longer have to do free commissions. You have a big point there. Now if you would like me to show you my portfolio and resume just to quiet you/compare with Rajah, I will have no problem doing so. But at the end of the day....I'm sure you truly do not care, nor do I. My ego is not that big to where it's my life's dream to prove you wrong, despite your beliefs. No one has come to volunteer cause you all NEVER gave that option (aside from redesigning the banner). I'm sure if you gave opportunity, someone would take it. As far as my advice, it's a sound one. Why wouldn't you ask a member how he is able to mass produce? I brought up other members names as to say that there are others who could do the job, you just have to present it. Don't try and spin it as if I'm trying to "pimp" other people out for their services, you can chill with that one.
And lets get something straight, I voice/type my opinion, just because it never agrees with your views doesn't mean I'm "tight" or "hostile". It's a message board, opinions are 95% of the posts on here. So with that said, I will continue my "crusade" and you will continue to ban me. It's a song and dance, that I have grown to find adorable. There is nothing I can do about you, and there is nothing you can do about me other than ban me.

But nah forreal I have never owned a cap. I don't wear them never did. Just curious as to if people actually wore NT hats though. Didn't know NT had hats in the first place.Originally Posted by kiendienn

Word. That's why I don't go outside. I don't want people to know I'm alive. It's too pretentious to throw my existence into others' faces.

Remember that fight when Merch told Mayweather he was kick his @%% if he was 50 years younger? I did a little poster in reference to that, HBO and Merchant caught wind of it and wanted to press a small copy of posters. Larry thanked me and signed a copy for my brother who is a huge fan of boxing. A cool experience. Did some stuff for Orbit gum and I worked with GM for about 2 years working on in house designs and sometimes chevy commercials.Originally Posted by Mccheesy

I understand where OJ's coming from. The design does seem a little too simple to represent such a popular message board, but on the flip side sometimes less is more I guess. Might be too early to rehash it anyways, as it's already been established as an iconic symbol for NT.
