most definitely appreciated, MethodMan. it's always a pleasure knowing we got guys like you behind the scenes here on NT, and i truly appreciate everything you guys do.
i'll be buying my 7 3/4 whenever it's readily available, and i'm in no rush.
...but i'm really starting to get mad at the fact that some people on this board STILL insisted on attempting at buying more than one hat even though several warnings and pleads were given. like, c'mon. you guys really disgust me, and i truly hope your order gets cancelled so someone else can enjoy their one hat.
of course i'm mad.

in all honestly, i think ecapcity screwed us over on this release, no offense to them or moderators, but them advertising on their blog, and facebook? the traffic was bound to happen.
methodman, seriously, thank you. a lot of us members have been behind this idea for a long time , and to see this come to life, is great.
secondly, i was concerned with the desgin of the hat being stolen.... is the NT logo trademarked?
what im afraid will happen is any other hat site, will rip off the logo, and make its own version, and the proceeds dont benefit any charity, or niketalk members.
lastly,
red brim =]
goodnight, NT

Basically and diplomat t dot is right I'm more upset at ecc if anybody but with only 144 hats you would guess something like this was bound to happen. I betcha of this wasn't limited or nobody knew the numbers actually made it would not have been sold out like that. Maybe I'm wrong but just my guess bit I know meth and whoever else have to get their money back and the charity stuff also.

For all those expressing discontent towards this experience and Cap City's handling of the release I understand where you're coming from, but it was me who told Cap City they could post it on their blog and promote it how they see fit. Trust me, our intentions were not to screw any members over. We wanted to give the community what they've been wanting for years without overextending ourselves in the process.
Without Cap City, none of this happens. Who do you think fronted the money for production? Who essentially took all the risk and used part of their order allocation on us? Cap City did. Yes, I know how frustrating the ordering experience was for some of you. I can empathize having gone through midnight online releases in the past and coming up short. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I think CC's website performed well considering the situation. You have to remember that they've never experienced anything like this. While their site slowed to crawl, it did manage to stay up during the bombardment of hits and in the end, it got the job done so I applaud them.
For those saying, why only 144, why didn't we make more, etc.. We decided on that number to play it safe. We had no guarantees that this hat would do as well as it did. Even with the week leading up to the release, I didn't think interest would be as high as it was considering how many of you were complaining about the size of the patch. It wasn't our money we were gambling with. While I was confident we would sell out, there was just no way I could guarantee that they would based on past NT releases. We learned from this experience, and we'll be using this initial release to gauge future orders and we'll be looking at traffic numbers to see what the interest was really like. I do know, that the numbers exceeded expectations.
As far as releasing the same night as the foams, again, my fault. I stopped keeping up with release dates and didn't know about them until someone mentioned it in this thread. I missed out on those. Misery loves company right?
In regards to having the community input in the next design, they're pretty much done, but we will take it into consideration. But think of this situation, 60,000 chefs in the kitchen doesn't sound like the greatest of ideas.
Someone mentioned trademark issues, CC was kind enough to trademark our logos for us so we don't have to worry about anyone else releasing NT fitteds.
I think I've addressed most of your concerns, I don't really know what else to say. I apologize again to all those that didn't get a hat, but I guarantee that their will be other opportunities for all of you to own an NT fitted in the near future.
