Ideas for my CafePress store

[The Armchair]

I'm starting up a series of fun t-shirts and stuff for sports fans -- things that would get a laugh if worn to a live game. I'm hoping to get about a dozen different ones, with a focus on football for now (because of seasonal issues).

Any ideas? The current stuff is over on my website (http://www.armchairgm.com/), and as proof that I'm not looking for $ here -- just ideas -- if you want anything, PM me and I'll knock off my overlay.

(If your friends want stuff, though, they gotta pay up.)

Not bad, pretty much in the same line as the shirts at the onion.

I like 'em. Think I might pick one up, seeing as how I really would be superior to our current GM.

Would it be appropriate to crosspost this in OOT?

I like the "Better GM" Dog Shirt.

I may end up getting one for my kid.

The kid stretchy, not the dog shirt.

Yea or Nay?

the beer should be yellow.

I added both.

Thanks!

how about something along the lines of "I hate these kids and their newfangled stats"? there's gotta be a better way to word it, but you get the idea.

[The Armchair]

"Oh, go shove it up your OPS." with a picture of a calculator?

[pryor15]

much better

I still like, "Yankees Suck, Jeter Swallows."

Any ideas how to promote my store?

Other than spamming OOT, of course /images/graemlins/wink.gif

give away free shirts with the website printed on the back

I'd rather not spend the cash. If I make $100 on this, it'll be incredible, and laying out any money on my end is just stupid.

get a segment aired on SportsCenter

yeah, i got nothing.

You probably cant use it but it might spark some ideas.

A few years ago the CFL had a promotional ad that was "Our balls are bigger." Because in the CFL the ball is bigger than the one used in the NFL.

Work on that like maybe something to do with the wnba using a different colour ball. Im not sure but in the Canadian college leagues the girls use a smaller ball than men. So something about the NBA players using bigger balls than the wnba.

Also substituting the word Puck for "_uck" is always funny

The problem right now is not products -- I have a few more coming in August. The problem is promoting it. Word of mouth is my best bet I guess.
