3++ Merchandise - Take 2


With NOVA fast approaching I've been asked a bit about 3++ t-shirts - pink is the new black after all...? Which goes back to the concept of 3++ merchandise - we did the dice last year which were hugely successful (around 1800 dice total) so we might look into that again!

So here are the questions - we're mainly looking at t-shirts and doing the dice again so some questions to be answered.

Dice -
  1. Same as before with the custom logo in place of the 1? or try to get the dice with 3++ in place of the 3 pip?
  2. Colors? Keep them to the pink/black combinations or branch out?
  3. If interested you need to let me know in comments that you are and how you'd want roughly as we need X numbers before I will place an order.
T-shirts -
  1. Where to get these from? We don't want super brosif $100 tees obviously but we don't want something falling apart at a touch and where the smalls are basically a marquee tent. Hit me up with ideas.
  2. What to have on them? 3++  is the new black obviously and we're going to do some slogans (i.e. It's Cinematic) but just the text front/back? Or dice logo as well? What other slogans would one want? And font ideas?
  3. Color combos - black w/pink text, etc.?
Hit us up quickly so we can try and get orders sorted for NOVA in August (and FoB main event after) if there's enough interest.

I like the idea of dice again. I'd prefer a simple 3++ instead of the three pips. I didn't really like the Kirby/Commissar logo, so I didn't buy the last ones.

Shirts would be cool. American Apparel makes good quality stuff.
How much are the dice to cost?
If you guys are selling the dice at NOVA id buy in a heartbeat, I'm much beter at impulse buys than internet orders lol
I love my Kirby Dice, Kirby...

...but you roll three ones on four dice and see if you don't hate yourself just a little. I've played games where I'm like, "Oh, that Kirby's $*%#(%(& with me again! Grrrrr..."

I like the idea of 3++ or replacing the six.

That seems a little confusing. Maybe move the logo to the six instead of the one? So instead of Kirby flipping you the bird, you can imagine getting a high five.
You should post up some of the possible logo/text ideas for t-shirt and get people to have a vote. Then narrow it down to 3 and do an order.
I would be interested in the 3++ in place of the 3 pips.

T-shirts, all depends (price, timing, etc). If need be, I'll buy a pink t-shirt for Nova. :)
But yes I would be interested in T-shirts.
I'm interested in dice. I like the 3++ idea, and the pink/black is cool. I could use 20-30 depending on cost.
long time lurker, missed out on the dice last time. I would definitely be interested, pink with the commissar kirby logo would be great.
Keep the dice the same...

But with counters for all types of things (and objective markers with 1-6), could you possibly do pink objective markers somehow, with Kirby on it and then a number 1-6 on the bottom (maybe doing a custom d4 for these?)
I bought the dice of you last time, and I'd be interested new dice. maybe 20 pieces or so.
3++ on the 3, which is what I said first thing last time, everyone agreed to it and you didn't do it. -.-'

As to the T shirt,s "3++, it's cinematic". With author names on the back for us illuminati members. (:

And the reason why I didn't, was answered at the time.
Cause you're a skinflint. :P
Or I didn't think we'd order over 1000 and didn't want to fork out such cash ^^.
Should've listened to me. =/

I'm not even a pretty face. But I have bright ideas sometimes.
I would be looking at a smal order of 10-15 dice
Like the commissar logo, or 3++, but I think I would prefer it on the 6 or the one instead of the three
On colours, I like the ones pictured, I can't tell exactly what they are, but the ones that look black ?, I assume they are black with pink writing.
I love the look of those dice, I would be down for a standard 36 or 24 or whatever they come in.
I too would be down for a set each of pink and black, in whatever the usual quantity is.

For shirts...You want a small logo on the front upper left just saying "3++..." and then on the back, have it say "....Is the new black". Maybe add the commisar kirby as a small picture above the 3++ on the front. You want to either do them as white shirts with black writing, or black shirts with pink writing ;)
I think that the dice should be the same as last time, possibly with an extra colour scheme or two to mix things up.

As for t-shirts maybe a name badge shape over the left breast with '3++' in the top bit (where the hi welcome to bit normally is) and 'is the new black' in the bottom bit. You could then have the commissar outline done on the back with the slogan underneath it. Do all this in pink on a black t-shirt.

As for getting them made maybe use a company like cafepress.com who actually make and distribute the t-shirts, you just make a commission on each one they sell. They also have sites based in the UK, USA, and Australia so should be possible for them to send them out from which ever one is nearest to the customer which should save money. They also do more than just t-shirts if you ever wanted to expand the range.

Also objectives sound good...
Shirts should be pink with black writing.

I would want the Kirby commissar on the 6 and would probably order about 20-30 odd depending on price/size.

A shirt with something representing tyranids not getting allies or forcing a narrative may also be something I would buy.

Currently I'm thinking

3++ (in my head it's central and in big font)
<break>
It's Cinematic (smaller font)

Kirby and I both like this slogan though :P
Shirts and dice!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but what do they make shirts of in OZ?????? I don't want cancer

Can I get my name on mine? With megan's law and everything, it'll kill 2 birds with one stone.
If you are gonna keep the Kirbissar, I would swap it to the 6, honestly. You don't want your own icon to be viewed as a BAD thing when it pops up! *laugh* Also, are we still on only the big vegas size die? Because I'd love them much more if they were the small ones...

I do vaguely like the idea of nice dress T's with a little 3++ on the breast that you could wear around in the office in a nice bubblegum pink color... *laugh*
i know there's at least one pair of 3++ panties out there somewhere...
Long time reader here. I would be interested in the dice for sure, I'd prefer the black/pink swirl instead of all pink and Kirby on the six, though 3++ on the 3 sounds awesome as well.

pink shirts with black lettering. fonts are hard to say, some tee makers have special fonts they've made. I always like a classic block or script
Alright I'll have a look at the linked places for shirts.

Dice seems to be keep the current trend and move the logo to the 6. I'll put up a poll in relation to that or the 3++ in place of the 3 pip - keeping in mind the 3++ only comes in solid colors at 14mm whilst the logo ones have more varied color choices but are 16mm.

I'd be keen for about 30 of the dice. Probably like the kirby logo either on the 1 or maybe the 6. Kirby is a good thing after all :)

I'd be down for some dice, I dont remember the pricing but probably 20, maybe some more if we need to hit X amount or something
Down for either logo on the dice, but if you did a black shirt with the commissar on the front and 3++ on the back both in pink that'd be pretty rad
"Pink isn't a color. It's a lifestyle." - Chumbalaya
Anywhere on the shirt. Hot pink letters on a black shirt.
I would like to have the dice from last year again as I really liked the Kirby pic, but did not have enough money.
I would like a polo shirt, personally. I prefer to buy clothing that I can wear to work or at home. A simple shirt with a 3++ logo of some sort is what I prefer. Black shirt, pink 3++.
Commenting as a long time Guest - "It's Cinematic" is an awesome slogan for 6th. . Do that!

Would also buy ~30 dice if you ship out to the UK.

Hope this gets off the ground.
I would definitely buy dice and if the T-shirt looks good I'd be up for that too. I missed out on the last round of dice so I wouldn't hesitate to buy a boat full. Also I second american apparel if that falls into the budget. Good quality stuff from them.

For the mass appeal, I vote the dice, and if the 3 pips were replaced with 3++ that would be EPIC, thanks Kirbz whatever ya do!
Looks like the 3++ in place of the 3 dice is a go but only as pink - we'd need to get 1000 dice per color to get any different colors so if you guys want to band together on a different color, let me know! I will do a full post detailing this and the shirts shortly.

I'll take 36 of the pink w/ black pip dice; 3++ on threes, please!
Kirby Commissar in pink/black/white on white tee w/ black letters on back "Pink is the New Black"

Shouldn't be too difficult, eh? Also a bumper-sticker or window-cling would be cool. :)
