I want one and will be ordering one either locally or over Zazzle, depends which is cheaper.
Price will be between £15-£20 including postage i think,
I would also like to try and give £2.50 out of every one sold to the forum, i will not make any profit out of this etc.
Here is current design, the font for the 'k' is slightly different to the original logo 0.o? can anyone supply me with original font (if it really bothers them, looks fine to me.)
edit- fixed it

It is possible do you want me to supply you with companies that will do it? I like nice clothing but I don't like it at people expense (modern day slavery).

Many companies do. I will look into it tonight as I haven't ordered printed t-shirts, just plain.

As I said in the pm, I will do the leg work and get you quotes but it will have to wait until Friday.
There is no reason it shouldn't be done fairtrade.

That is, but I would prefer to pay the extra than to contribute to "modern day slavery".

aye, I buy Fairtrade when i can online but only if its available, its worth the extra, they are often better quality too.
edit - finalized design, unless anyone has a better idea.

Any Americans buying this shirt from the UK should probably up a size from what they are used to.
I don't buy European t-shirts any more because the shirt is too short and the fit is too wide. I use only American Large.

I only find that on cheap t-shirts.

I would be interested...but out of persona preference...will there be other color choices? I look like a whale in white.

no reason why i cant mock up a black/white one.

Does anyone want to do me the honour of doing a better mock up of the Deskthority logo, especially when fossla gets back to me with the company he thinks we should use (im all for the fair trade side)
Not sure if its pixelated a bit, my graphic design skills are rudimentary, i may ask a friend to have a go.

I work at a t-shirt screen printing company and depending on the order size can get them made at a lot better price than this as its only a single colour.
Sadly they would be printed on Gildan Heavy tees, the best quality imo.
They could be printed on fair trade tees but they would have to be supplied for us to print on.
If you want I can try and get a pricing list at work tomorrow?
For say something like, 20, 50, 100 or whatever?
EDIT: Off the top of my head i know there is a screen fee of around £20-30. (to make the screen of the graphics for printing) - this could be shared out amongst the order, and then I'm pretty sure i could get them made for around £7-8 each. I'll check tomorrow for certain though.

Great idea.
Personally I'd probably prefer a polo shirt over a t-shirt. A little embroidered 'DT' logo (like some of the keycap designs) would be cool and less chance of me having to explain what 'Deskthority' means to random people.

Make it in black, then I'll get it.

I'm in BUT it needs more work. Agree with Half-Saint and 002 regarding the keycaps. Nice and thick doubleshot bending over would be so nice.

Deskthority is lacking a (...) like gh's "wanna switch"
Ps: the colours shouldn't be a problem. We can offer several colour combinations for ppl to chose from (without significant impact on price)

I don't understand the use of the ellipsis.
It's a simple question, so why the awkward silence?
