New Gear: The NSA Collection

from the approved-for-release dept

Recently, the folks at Government Attic filed a FOIA request that garnered a very cool response: a collection of posters made by the NSA in the 1950s and 60s to remind its employees about security. It wasn't long before we got some requests to put them on t-shirts in the Techdirt Gear store and so... that's exactly what we've done!

You can now get 24 of the NSA's posters (with more coming soon) on premium t-shirts, hoodies and mugs from Teespring. Check out our store for the full NSA collection, or click the images below to go directly to the ones you like most.

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

    Remember when Whatever/MyNameHere insisted that Techdirt was marketing scarcity like the routinely-criticized record labels, and he'd show Techdirt by mass manufacturing Techdirt T-shirts on the cheap, cutting off funding for the Shiva Ayyadurai lawsuit?

    I'm still waiting for him to put the money where his mouth is...

    Not just t-shirts

    I have too many t-shirts... These would make great posters, though.

    another request

    A T-shirt printed with one of those WWII "Slap a Jap" government propaganda posters would make a great conversation piece (if for its shock value alone).

    Since Techdirt is taking requests for fundraising ideas, how's that for a request -- 100% public domain and a guaranteed conversation piece. Not to mention suitable for wearing to your next tiki torch rally!
