Hi,

When I first wanted to buy a Bitcoin shirt to express my support for the community, I was really frustrated with the choice. None of these fit my personal taste.

Being a cartoonist, I designed my own t-shirt which a friend of mine on #bitcoin IRC chat suggest I should start selling. It sounded scary at first. But thanks to my brother who is a web-developer, I decided to go for it. The community needs unique items, we need more merchants accepting BTC, we need to spread the word.

So it took me 3 months to create a website, design shirts, find suppliers, but I finally made it, I launched my own store which sells items I designed. It was quite a journey for me, especially because I had no prior experience in such things. This is something I really feel passionate about.

Why is my store different compared to other Bitcoin shirt stores?

    I believe my designs are unique. They tell a story.
    A portion of the BTC payments profit will be donated to bitcoin.org, open bazaar and similar projects.
    Unlike 90% of crypto clothing sites, I actually do accept bitcoins as a form of payment, as the matter a fact I encourage it. I understand the risks since my suppliers and fulfillment centers do not accept.
    Worldwide shipping via fulfillment center in US and EU.

My goal is not really to sell you anything at this moment, I just want some honest feedback on my designs of the clothes, mugs, pillows, cases. I really invested lots of time and effort in this, and any feedback and critiques are welcome. I already shared my designs across other Bitcoin platforms such as IRC, Discord, Slack and got some really nice feedback and ideas, but also some critiques which were quite helpful.

I would like to thank all the community members who helped me so far.

TL;DR: I opened an online store which sells bitcoin shirts and would love to get some feedback.

Why are you placing bitcoin.org on all your items? It makes it look like the official bitcoin merchandise that promote the bitcoin website. I know that you want to promote it but be carefull with copyrights in future. Hopefully everything gona be fine with your store, some designs look interesting.

Hi,
I contacted the domain owner and Theymos was fine with that idea.
There is a disclaimer in footer and in FAQ.
To be honest the reason I want to put a domain in the design is for newbies to see and go to bitcoin.org as probably the best starting point for learning about BTC, at least for me, so just want to help spread the word.

I like the designs too, i think adding the bitcoin address is a great way to show newbies awareness but i do agree about the copyright.  I am sure if you contact the domain owners to get permission there wouldn't be any issue with using it.
