I was thinking of doing some tshirts and polos specifically geared to gamers and the technologically inclined.

Something along the lines of the stuff you see on jinx.com but I was looking for some feed back on what would be appropriate for the local gamer.

I have some sample ideas below so tell me what you think.

I likin that idea. I will do a design with it. Will update with some more stuff tomorrow.

I love this idea. Its something I've considered for a long time but two things are holding me back.

1) I don't have a creative bone in my body

2) I don't have a creative bone in my body.

Was thinking of calling it GATT GameGear (GG) for short. What a coincidence.

Stole a few ideas from around the net, have 'em in a folder. Not sure if copyright will be an issue but I'll dredge 'em up and share 'em here.

Aids, if you wanna do this fuh real, is there someway we can get the GATT brand in there?

Live my dream through you! lol

I don't see why we can't put the GATT logo somewhere in the designs. Would be good for distributing through all the GL's.

Here's the deal. If you have an idea for a shirt that you think a lot of gamers (other than you and your immediate clan mates) would buy then send me a PM or an email and I will work up a design. I won't charge for artwork but I would like to print at minimum somewhere between 25 - 50 shirts in a particular design at a time. (It works out cheaper that way since the artwork cost is out of pocket) A printed shirt should average around $50 maybe less but it would depend on the amount of colours in the design so if you interested send me your designs and I will post a few more of my own as well.

I started a new album to post my design BTW. Check it out at http://www.carigamers.com/media/members/aids/G4ME+gear/

And NGW you can PM me to work out the specifics of the branding.

lol i like WASD design but....too much colors maybe if we could jus single out the Chief with the flag

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #7 on:** May 03, 2007, 12:01:34 PM »

anything associating gaming+ trini flag= win

i like de master chief with flag thing

how bout some of some game/anime character completely owning people

and the trini flag on his back or a trini flag logo on his gear or something.

maybe even a map of trinidad with the towns/villages that gaming is prevelant in highlighted and some gaming logo on it

W1nTry · « **Reply #8 on:** May 03, 2007, 01:51:25 PM »

Great idea, my creative blood is a bit drained lately... so maybe when I get hit by some stroke of slogan brilliance i'll add to the mix. But good idea none the less... the GATT logo isa cool scene, but I think having it 'brandless' is also a good idea. Could have a separate line for GATT I recon.

AIDS · « **Reply #9 on:** May 03, 2007, 02:46:15 PM »

Well either way it already have a brand (G4ME gear) it's just a question of weather or not GATT getting involved. Even so you can get any of the current designs printed right now and I will continually add new designs to the album.

I added these this morning.

more to come soon.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #10 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:23:32 PM »

ill take one of those tokens ones

double XL black tee for me plixx ploxx

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #11 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:34:06 PM »

love the "tokens" one!

lol @ already have a brand.

The mere fact that it being brandished about on our forums means that GATT already involved.

The question is how we getting on the T-Shirt. You could fit in the logo somewhere? I can send the original if needed.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:44:49 PM »

To expand on the 'pee-yong' idea.

How about stark white letters against a black background with the words:

'GAME PEEYONG' or 'GAME PEEYONG IN TRAINING' or even 'SUPER GAME PEEYONG'

These phrases instantly identify and personify the Trini gamer. I always wondered what it
would look like professionally done on a black tee.

Nephilim · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2007, 04:21:01 PM »

i think we need to agree on how to spell the word 'pee-yong' first

how about one with a old man and a youngling, and the old man telling him: "I tell yuh Nintendo go spoil the TV" and he collecting ah belt

AIDS · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2007, 09:01:44 AM »

I already working on the game Peeyong shirt and I have a couple variations that will come up soon. I like the idea with the old man and the belt too and I have a few others that I working on so stay tuned.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #15 on:** May 04, 2007, 11:30:12 AM »

i wanna relate this story about this vietnamese guy who plays lineage 2

hes legendary on the server for his absolute dominance of the gladiator class

and this one time at an event hosted by the gms, a large pvp event where clans where supposed to send in a 8 man team to pvp against other teams and the winner be rewarded.

Vietknight, thats teh guys character, enters the event alone, because he and his brother are the only people in his clan, the gms allow it just to see what he can achieve.

Viet Knight then goes on to totally dominate a pvp event against teams of 8
mowing down one team after another, with people observing in awe.

After all the battling is done and he is walking away from the arena
the gms actually show up in the game with their characters and say
"Congratulations to Vietknight for another amazing showing of skill"

Viet knight responds
"No need to Congratulate, i AM VK" (VK is short for vietknight)

Server goes absolutely mad in cheers for him, lol.

I Want thatttt on my shirt!!

"No need to congratulate, i AM a trini gamer yes yes"

AIDS · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2007, 11:48:07 AM »

For a second there I thought that that story was going to be totally unrelated to the topic but in the end it was worth it. That is one hell of a t-shirt idea and I will definitely work on that one soon.

One other thing, I'm not taking orders for any specific design as yet but I do appreciate the support. Maybe from next week i will work out the specifics of ordering and I will update you all to suit but in the mean time you can decide which designs you would like to have so that when I am ready to take orders you can give me the info. Thanks again.

Order all my gaming tees from these sites

AIDS · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2007, 12:29:46 PM »

Yeah they cool but their designs not completely suited to Trini gamers. I wanted to do something with a local flavour.

BTW, album updated. http://www.carigamers.com/media/members/aids/G4ME+gear/

By popular demand:

And for the ladies.

My wife asked for this one.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2007, 02:22:37 PM »

Nice, very nice.

I'll take 2 each of the black 'GAME PEEYONG' black tees.
