T-shirts?

I'm thinking of having some Chess.com t-shirts printed. What kinds of saying do you think would be cool to have on them? A few I have heard or have thought of:

"1. e4"

"Don't bother me - I'm a grandmaster in training." 

"Yes, it DOES mean I am smarter than you..."

Do you mean personal shirts for your self or as a Chess.com product?

Either way I like the 1. e4 and the grandmaster one.

I was thinking of having a shirt made for myself that says 1. e4 c5

I think the t-shirt idea is excellent! Not sure what I want to say on it. YET! I guess we can customize them before we order...

A white shirt that simply has the Chess.com logo on the front would seem fine to me. I'd wear it. You could have some with some sayings too, though I don't know what would be good.

I'm not an active part of the community, so I'm I know I won't be the first on any tshirt list. However:

 

"Yes, it DOES mean I am smarter than you..."

 

That's pretty awesome.

I misread the first sentence. I thought you said Chess shirts instead of Chess.com shirts.

I agree with Andy. The white shirt with a green Chess.com logo sounds quite intriguing. As does the option of the other shirts.

The # sign is, of course referring to checkmate...

I'd have to agree with the chess.com logo on a white shirt.  Logo on the front, some sort of saying on the back, along the shoulders would be nice, but the basic logo and shirt I think would do.

 Of course, having the base logo without tagline on the front and "Play. Learn. Share." on the back might work (having stuff on the back always makes people get curious about what's on the front of my shirts)

That is a really good idea Nyarlathotep!!!

Without being the devil's advocate... I love Chess so much - that I know I would wear the t-shirt to work (casual day), tournaments, and when I am playing on this site! So, is it going to be White?
erik
great suggestions!! you will be able to choose your size, color, etc
chessiq
cool! Awesome idea!

Any chance of polos at some point in the future as well, with the logo embroidered on the breast? (no breast pockets please).

 

That's right, I like to geek out in style Wink (and it may look good at tournaments to have nice polo shirts sporting the site's logo).

Great idea, I don't know how I didn't think of that (95% of the shirts I wear are polo shirts too)

great idea

what about having a picture of garry kasparov

While a "pick your favorite chess player" pic for the shirts would be pretty neat, we'd be infringing on the likeness rights of that person, and using only one master for the shirt may grumpify (I'll have to Merriam-Webster that term later...I like it...) people who may not like that chess player for different reasons.

 

Good idea though Laughing 

 

Back to my polos...include a name option to have embroidered with it.  Logo on one side, personalized name on the other.  I'd personally have;

 

"David Wilt

Nyarlathotep@Chess.com"

 

We could start plowing through the old logos too to see if there were some variations we'd like to use as the back-of-the-t-shirt pics.  There were so many great ones that I loved, I'd hate to see them go to waste.

A polo is a bloody brilliant idea!
