i really like your first design. this is something i would wear and not feel like i am forcing the conversation of bitcoin on everyone around me. it just works and adds that bitcoin potential to any encounter.

to be honest every other shirt designer I have seen in the Goods section has thrown "crap" on a plain tshirt and expects it to sell. keep up the good work bloctopus, expect my order soon.

Thanks for that. You figured out exactly what we are trying to do, use cool designs anyone can wear to spark non-invasive conversations about bitcoin and crypto. Everyone we have sold a t-shirt to, even friends who know nothing about bitcoin have told us someone has walked up to them and asked, "What's that t-shirt all about!" And there it is, the beginning of a friendly conversation that can eventually lead to education about what bitcoin is and how it works.

Bloctopus.com is about to release our second bitcoin t-shirt. I was hoping to get feedback from the community on our first design to help guide us through our next several t-shirt runs.

Our first t-shirt design has a more weathered, lo-fi look. My thinking on that was that the design represents the rebellious, anarcho-capitalist side of bitcoin and crypto. Where I am torn is how simple, clean, and precise math and bitcoin is; this is leading me towards more minimal, streamlined designs. Please give honest opinions and maybe even include links to tshirt designs and companies you personally like, tshirt colors you prefer, and design ideas you would like to see on a crypto tshirt. My eyes and ears are open; we are looking to create a succesful bitcoin brand at www.bloctopus.com and it is very important that the bitcoin community play an active role in how our company will move forward. Thank you in advance for all of your feedback.

We are announcing that our Bloctopus Bitcoin t-shirt is on sale for $19.99 at www.bloctopus.com. We are trying to clear out the last of our first run before releasing our second series of bitcoin t-shirts.

This Bloctopus t-shirt is off the hook! Our shirts are 100% combed cotton jersey for a crazy soft feel. All our designs are screenprinted using the highest quality garments, screen-printing techniques, and non-toxic water based inks. And yes...we do accept bitcoin Wink

Series 2 is called the "Genesis" series. Visit our website and subscribe to our mailing list so you can be one of the first to get a Genesis t-shirt. Our next series will be run in very limited quantities.

Regards,

Bloctopus

I agree 100% with what teeGUMES said. Your design is a nice Bitcoin t-shirt without the word BITCOIN or BTC vomited all over it. I like the octopus design being made out of blocks as well. Your shirt looks more like an indie band's shirt than an obvious BTC shirt, and I mean that in a good way (most band shirts have pretty sweet designs). I would buy one as well, and hopefully will be buying one soon. Posting here to "subscribe" and help remind me to follow along.

Very nice t-shirt design. Will the new series look like this or be something completely different? (sorry if I overlooked it)

Thank you for the compliment. We were kind of going for the lo-fi indie band look, you're spot on with that. The design is conceptually how I see the blockchain and sidechains/altchains- hence the tentacles. We'll do our best to continue putting out quality designs!

The new series will be two t-shirts called "The Genesis Series." We will be printing two different designs, both very different from our current run. One design will be stylistically similar to the current one, and by that I mean lo-fi and weathered looking; the other design will be more clean and minimalist. Whichever style sells best will be the style Bloctopus continues to use in future designs.

I wish there was a cheaper way for me to ship the tshirts. International shipping from the U.S. is quite expensive and $15 is the cheapest rate of any service

Sounds like a plan! Personally, I'm a fan of lo-fi & weathered looking, but I'm sure others might think differently Smiley
