Title: (Gauging Interest)"lowkey" stylish bitcoin apparel
Post by: monbux on September 02, 2017, 09:23:23 PM
Sept 6: Thanks everyone for your interest! We've been working hard creating new designs and talking with suppliers. Hopefully we can get samples in by the end of the month!

SIGNUP TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAR ABOUT THE FALL RELEASE (https://bitcoinrumble.com)
Not those ones that scream "cryptocurrency geek" in everyone's faces, but ones that are a little more discrete, and have a "cool" look to them. We are working towards creating apparel that fit everyday wear.

Here are some very rough preliminary designs, to give you an idea of the direction we are heading towards.

Please let us know your thoughts! Any type of constructive criticism is appreciated.

I like the lightning one, although I'm not sure how well that color gray matches with the orange

The colours of the shirts are easy to change. I just put the design on a gray one and I'll have to agree with you. It'll probably look better with black... Thanks for your input!

I've always wondered about this. I'd be really interested if you shipped to AU x3

I think the lightning one looks the best. However I personally think that the Bitcoin pattern fill still kinda screams "Crypto geek". How about a B, but the two rounded sides of it are formed by that lightning symbol?

Thanks, and yes we'd definitely try to ship worldwide. It's less about making profit and more about helping bitcoin and crypto transition to "mainstream".

I'm not sure exactly what you mean regarding the design. Could you be more articulate?

I've wanted some more casual Bitcoin designs on clothing for a little while, I'm surprised no one else has done it yet.
I'd also personally enjoy some more minimalist designs, for example perhaps just a black bitcoin logo on a white t-shirt/jumper (although I'm sure you can come up with something better than that).

Either way, depending on the finished designs I'd be interested in buying some things like this so long as they don't break the bank. Watching!

Yeah, we have some more minimalistic designs coming along with our fall release. We want to make ones that can't be found on the web yet though!

We are launching a pre-launch page to collect emails this week, I'll be sure to PM everyone who is interested. :) The goal is to send as much apparel out there to advertise one's love for bitcoin and crypto in the most stylish ways possible.

I would be interested in some embroidered polo and hoodies if you make some. I am looking for really simple designs, but prefer them to not just me printed.

We had a couple simple ones in mind. I'm liking the simplicity of them.

These will be embroidered but we'll need enough interest to create an order.

If you can make them zip up hoodies I will take a minimum of 5...same for polo shirts.

The designs work for anything. We put them on a clean sweat-shirt to show the design better. I'm sending you a PM right now to discuss more about the designs.

I think you need to consider everything do not focus only on black because people have different taste some would like the darker one but some also wants the lighter one. Please consider.

I'll definitely buy one if you can come with a good looking tee or hoodie. The idea seems pretty cool, because tbh most existing crypto apparel is too blatant.

The lightning looks best to me right now. The Bitcoin symbol isn't lowkey enough imo, and the rumble t-shirt doesn't make much sense to me either.

I didn't sign up to the mailing list (even if I did, I would probably never read the updates anyway) but I am interested in very low-key items that subtly say Bitcoin/crypto. Definitely agree, Bitcoin-themed clothing are a bit too geeky/blatant/unstylish.

Small items, not necessarily clothing but possibly within the sports apparel category. You know those small sports sling bags for shoes/footie, for example? Or for a girl, a sweatband for the wrist (for basketball or racquet games, you know those type?). Much rather get those than other branded apparel, which probably cost more anyway. I would say why, but maybe not for the public to read =)

There aren't many minimalist style crypto hoodies/jerseys and I don't like those other over-the-top styles, so I'm interested these. I may be interested in a monero jersey in the same style as in the ones quoted above.  :)

Thanks! The bitcoin symbol will be embroidered and looking at some designs by our producer, it'll look great.
The rumble shirts are showing our brand name - kind of like how the Supreme t-shirts display Supreme's name. Our brand is called Bitcoin Rumble.

Hey buwaytress, thanks for your comments! Don't worry, I'll be sure to message everyone who is interested in the apparel. These are just the preliminary designs, only ~20% of our current designs.

The other accessories following our mission of creating fashionable bitcoin and crypto apparel will follow if our initial release performs well.

Hey miffman, thanks! Are you ok with the crewnecks/hoodies/tshirts or are you looking for an actual sports jersey?

Nope, just crewnecks and hoodies are good. A grey crewneck would look good as well I think :)

Thanks for that, monbux, appreciate the PM! I look out for sports apparel that complements clothing. Main reason I don't go for actual wear is size, since it is a bit difficult to find good fits when buying online. Whereas the items like I mentioned - sweatbands, shoe slingbags, ball nets, racquet covers... these are pretty much free-size and actually can make a simple logo like Bitcoin more prominent.

You also mention jerseys? That would also be an option to look at. Those lightweight pullovers you wear in training, just the kind you wear over a proper jersey to differentiate teams (we call them practice bibs here)? I would be willing to get 6-12 of those for a young adult futsal team.

Looking forward to the rest of your designs!

Great! I'll let you know once we get them in production!

Regarding those pullovers for a sports team, are you asking for the one with the bitcoin or lightning? Or one with the team emblem?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean regarding the design. Could you be more articulate?

Basically, do you have any ideas for a design that has a logo representing Bitcoin, or a part of it that isn't the well known Bitcoin logo? I was thinking if purchasing a shapeshift.io or a ethereum hoodie a while back, since I thought it would be interesting to have a jacket which had a design that looked cool, to the everyday person, but for someone within the bitcoin space, make them smile.

I personally the Bs are a little unappealing in this sense, because regular people will notice it and start to bring up all those questions like "Isn't Bitcoin illegal/banned?", or "Isn't Bitcoin like $5000 right now? It's too expensive to get one right now."

Most of the time, I don't have enough patience to explain it over and over and over again.

Something that's more low-key than our current designs? Of course. But we haven't shown them to the public yet.

To be honest I've always loved explaining to the people who ask questions like that just how wrong they are :)

Seeing lots of bitcoin apparel sites appear all of a sudden :P We'll be ready to launch by the end of the month!

Currently, some shirts will have to be printed per each order because we do not have a customer base yet. We might be making a small batch of embroidered hoodies and sweatshirts, PM me if you are interested in ordering.
