Wouldn't this slogan on a shirt would be awesome?
I propose to intentionally leave the space blank, and let people fill in the BTC value when they get the shirt.

Anyone up for designing one?

Actually, I love this idea haha.  Though, I think it'd be cooler to print shirts with the current price as you sell them, so people wouldn't have to deal with it, or couldn't forge it.

Love that idea - someone was just selling t-shirts on irc today. This would be an awesome shirt.

That's great. Gotta watch out for overprint at a certain price and getting stuck with a bunch of "I paid 2BTC for this shirt" when USD/BTC = 28. Maybe just print as you sell.

I'm up for doing the design.  I'll even give you a cut of the sales since it's your idea.

Any updates? I won't to order it for a reasonable price, before bitcoin hits 50$.
Not that I mind, but having a shirt with "I bought this shirt for 0.317" sounds less cool than "I bought this shirt for 1 BTC".

I think 1 BTC would be the best price. How much would ordering a shirt cost in dollars?

I'm releasing our shirt on Monday with the other new shirts.  It will cost $15 in USD, however, that will likely be less than 1 bitcoin by Monday. Smiley

Can I pre-order two shirts for 2 bitcoins? I really like the 1 bitcoin = 1 shirt equation.
Depending the design is nice, of course. Can you post a preview image?

If you want to send 2 coins to:

We can consider them preordered.  I don't have a preview for you yet because we're still playing with the design.  If you don't want the shirts when you see them on Monday, I'll gladly refund your money.

WARNING: This address is only for ripper234.  I will assume any coins arriving at it to be from him. Everyone else has to wait until Monday.

By the way, the shirt is "I bought this shirt when Bitcoin was worth ___", not "I paid ___ bitcoins for this shirt".

Will the current/approx bitcoin rate be printed on the shirt, or will it be left blank?
Too bad, I like "I paid 1 bitcoin for this shirt" much better. It's so much cleaner.

Anyway, I sent you the money for now ... will wait to see the design on Monday.

Which is your preference:

1. Printed on the shirt at the time of making the shirt
2. Hand writing the price or BTC/USD on the shirt before we send it to you
3. Shipping it to you with a blank space for you to hand write on it

Well, the main shirt going up on our site will have the phrasing in the title to this thread, but I will make just two shirts with your phrasing on them for you.  They'll be two-of-a-kinds. Smiley

What size do you want?  Under the "about us" section on squarewear.biz there is a chart of sizes.  Also, you should PM me your address.

I prefer option 1, although I'm not actually going to buy one - I don't wear t-shirts normally.

The great thing about this shirt is that it's good if bitcoin crashes and if it climbs higher.

We released our shirt design based on this today:



We can print the price on the shirt, hand write it on the shirt, or leave it blank for you to fill in.  The different options will slightly affect the time taken to ship you the shirt.
