Title: T Shirts
Post by: Calgachus on June 07, 2015, 04:06:12 PM

I have been trying to find a good descent t shirt on the web but haven't had any luck.  So I decided to try designing my own.  Only problem is, the website I am using requires a minimum purchase of 6 shirts for custom designs.  If I came up with a good design, would any of you be interested in buying the extras?

Welcome to the forums!  ;)

I'd be willing. The only problem I see is using trademarked and copyrighted material on a shirt... Not sure if placing trademarked or copyrighted material on a custom tee from another company classifies as infringement, though I seriously doubt Interplay or Volition are that concerned with a few shirts.

Come to think of it, I remember a goofy Shirt.Woot shirt depicting a Mario Bros. starman in an Ironman-style chest circle... I think it'd be pretty awesome to do a similar thing with a Descent shield orb.  ;D

PD's had gotten away with selling custom t-shirts with the site logo on it for a time, which obviously features technically trademarked Descent features, without issue.

Don't seem to anymore, but oh well.

Hmmm.. strange that t-shirts disappeared from the Zazzle store, I had received no notice of any kind from Zazzle. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Edit: found the t-shirts, they were listed in 'more by PlanetDescent' after looking at the hat listing. Here are the dark shirts: Planet Descent Banner Dark T Tshirts | Zazzle (http://www.zazzle.com/planet_descent_banner_dark_t_tshirts-235913863126931089) and the light ones: Planet Descent Banner T Light Tshirt | Zazzle (http://www.zazzle.com/planet_descent_banner_t_light_tshirt-235530283992126772)

I wanted to get a stainless steel mug with the Zelda artwork from zazzle. I got an email stating I couldn't due to copy right issues. I wasn't going to sell them, just have some for myself, but oh well.
