What Should We Add Next To The Techdirt Gear Store?
from the feedback dept
Get I Invented Email, Copymouse and more in the Techdirt Gear store »
Right now, there are four different designs in available in the Techdirt Gear store on Teespring: our new Copymouse gear, our limited-time I Invented Email gear, and two different styles of Techdirt logo gear. But, under Teespring's new ongoing-order system, over time we're going to start bringing back some of our designs from last year as permanent fixtures in the store — in some cases with tweaked or updated designs.
So, which Techdirt tees would our readers like to see first? There's our popular Takedown gear, the controversial Copying Is Not Theft, and some less-popular but beloved-by-some options like Home Cooking Is Killing Restaurants and Math Is Not A Crime. Of course, there's also the first t-shirt we offered and still the most popular: Nerd Harder.
We have some brand new designs in the works too and will be rolling those out in the near future, but first we want to get one or two of these classics back into rotation. In addition to letting us know which ones you're most interested in, feel free to include your thoughts on whether the design needs an update or you'd like to see different products/colors available!
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for supporting Techdirt.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: Re:
We have one design related to free speech that we've been kicking around for many months now. We're just not sure it's any good. :) I like it (and want to buy one for myself), but not everyone else here does. We may just release it to see, or, maybe we'll keep kicking it around for a few more months and see if we can improve on it.
It's tough to figure out ahead of time what shirts will really catch on.

Pure schadenfreude makes me want to see the Copying is not Theft shirt brought back first, just to tweak the people who threw fits over it last time, and Home Cooking is Killing Restaurants would be a good second choice.
For a new addition, inspired by an old trend that seems to be cropping up in the comment section perhaps a Curse you spam filters! shirt?

Re: Celebration T-Shirt
Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution, known as the Copyright Clause, empowers the United States Congress: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
I'm on board with that.

Sizes
Some feedback for Teespring, too, the shirts they print on are very very comfortable. Every now and then I'm tempted to buy more shirts just so I have more that I enjoy wearing!

Re: Sizes
Glad to know the shirts are good! There are a few different base shirt options we can choose from, but we've always stuck with one particular premium line that seemed like the best choice.

Re: Patents
How about something asinine drawn out in patent application style, with little figures and text descriptions.
I had been thinking about this general thing, but never really came up with a good specific idea. Also not sure how well I can replicate that technical drawing style - but, it's in the back of my brainstorming mind somewhere!

Re: Re: Patents
I had been thinking about this general thing, but never really came up with a good specific idea.
Given how mind-numbingly stupid some of the patents that have appeared on TD have been, how about The Wheel, with 'On a computer' somewhere in the description.
It could include such descriptive labels as 'Central Rotation Location', 'Exterior Facing Surface', 'Interior Facing Surface' and 'Weight Distribution Support Spokes'.

Re: Re: Re: Patents
Exactly. I was thinking how they always add on a computer to everything would be a great start.
I wonder if there is already a patent on filing for a patent on a computer

How about:

Sometimes copyright is all wrong...

Streisand & Chewbacca
Also, perhaps something like this:
"When your argument makes less sense than the Chewbacca Defense, it belongs in a bar, not a courtroom." Then maybe a picture of Chewbacca drinking at a bar? Something for that would be good.
An alternative would be Chewbacca standing behind a podium in a navy blue 3-piece suit with the caption "WHen your argument makes less sense than the Chewbacca Defense, you should be a presidential candidate, not a lawyer."
Either/or on the Chewie shirt.
