hylian suggested this in both the bibby rpg topic and cat's skype group, but i'm really interested in seeing if it would be possible to make mfgg t-shirts. problem is, i've got no idea how people usually go about making t-shirts, particularly for relatively small internet forums.

does anyone know how it would be possible to do something like this? i really, really want one of these shirts

That would be awesome indeed.

Basically, what you do is come up with a design for your T-shirt, and then take the design to any store that specializes in making custom T-shirts and uniforms. You could probably find a place in your area if you looked in the phone book. Keep in mind that the more complicated the design, the more expensive each shirt will be. A small logo will probably be less expensive than a complicated pattern that uses a lot of different colors.

Some inkjet printers can print directly to a cotton shirt, but unless you have a special printer, the quality probably won't be as good as one that was printed on professional-grade equipment.

I haven't used this service before, but Custom Ink is also worth considering.

There are plenty of online services.

What I think a nice design would be is the Mario Teaches Typing sprite from the banner, next to the text. Basically, the banner without the bg tiles.

i think we tried something like that a couple of years ago. in 2009 or so, i was moving equipment for a band that some good friends of mine had started. our bassist worked for a printing company, and he made a t-shirt that had the band's logo on it. problem was, it didn't come out well, and looked like trash. i think it might have been the printer, but this was a long time ago

presuming that all i would be using is a one-color version of the MFGG logo, that custom ink place would charge about $21 for a shirt. that might be worth it, given that most of the logo shirts that i own were in that price range. if we were to actually make our own mfgg shirt design, i'd vouch for making a design that has the MFGG logo on it in white on a plain color. you could put something like "est. 2001" on there underneath the logo

i would wear a shirt with waligie on it
or the walrus

FB3K: $21 isn't a terrible price, but you might be able to get a better deal if you went with a local company.

FD: I would so totally wear a Waligie or walrus shirt.

Red Bubble might be a good way to go. Never gotten any of their shirts, but their stickers are nice.
