• GU launches merchandise store via Cafe Press

    Attachment 6637A couple of months ago, about the time of relaunch, I was thinking "I'd love a GU shirt". I remembered seeing a certain store many moons ago that would let me create designs for clothing, and sell them without much trouble on my behalf - but for the life of me couldn't remember where. Today Brookie reminded me; it was Cafe Press...

    It has also occurred to me that even now we're receiving financial donations from some of you, which is most appreciated, but I thought that having some tangible in return would be nice. So, I've throw up a new Cafe Press store - where you can spend money on GU, and get something back for it straight away. We'll receive as much as 50% of the sale price from all products, which include shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, coasters and even a stein.

    If anyone has any specific requests for designs let me know and I'll get it whipped up so you can purchase it.

    Without further adieu: Gamers-Underground.com Store

      Awesome idea dude.

      What are the limitations in printing specific game characters; in regards to copyright infringement?

      I'll have to look further into the legalities. But at very least we couldn't use copyrighted artwork or trademarked IP. But I'd hope that ingame screenshot cuts, just like on the website itself might be ok.

      I don't think you can. I'm pretty sure they'll ping you no matter what. That's why they always mention "character and likeness" in copyright spiels.

      Most company's give out fan-site packs and encourage people to use the artwork on everything and anything as any free advertising is good.

      There's a big difference between that and making profit from it. I assure you they won't be happy with it. If you're giving it away, it's fine most of the time.

      I'll post some pics of my stuff when it arrives.

      And on that note, I'll be starting a competition relatively soon revolving around interesting photos wearing GU gear. The winner will receive a Nvidia 3D Vision kit and Samsung 23" 3D monitor.

      Of course, to be eligible, you'll need a camera and to have purchased some clothes, and thus contributed to the upkeep of GU. Oh, and some location ideas.

      Great idea! We were thinking about doing it for the guys I work for too, coz it's so much cheaper than printing locally and it's on demand too. Can you make some v-necks or singlets available for us chick gamers?

      Also, zazzle.com is another DIY t-shirt/merchandise store thing. I know there's a bunch more out there, but zazzle and cafepress seem to be the biggest. Might be worth comparing profit margins and the like. I've ordered from both before if you wanna know about quality.

      Found a few places I can do stubby holders through, but individuals aren't cheap. Probably looking at $30 a pop.

      Quality of the Golf Shirt is good, although the picture doesn't show just how light the "GAMERS-UNDERGROUND.COM" is.
