I actually like this.
I personally believe Tech and aTm should NOT become rivals but foes. It is absurd in my opinion to become sensitive to aggies feeling since they are always beeing offended by something stupid. keep them coming. -------------------- www.twitter.com/qhfxm

Enlighten me on this, do aggies fear vick would kill their beloved dog?
Why should we treat dogs as though they have some kind of notion of political correctness? I would laugh if I see a t-shirt with masked rider being hunted by indians. -------------------- www.twitter.com/qhfxm

QUOTE (1up @ Oct 9 2007, 05:43 PM) All my UT friends love it. A&M dishes it out with the "saw 'em off" t-shirts but can't take it in return. Yep, and I heard that UT made some shirts that said "saw 'em off" with a picture of Reveille with her leg's cut off...nothing happened to them. QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Oct 9 2007, 10:50 PM) i just hate that kind of humor and the people associated with it says the girl who makes dead baby jokes

There's a good chance I'm gonna head up to Lubbock for the game. If I do I'll try to find someone in Austin to print em. I'll sell em wherever I want in Lubbock and TTU can kiss my ass. I'd like to see them try to kick me out of school.
btw, there seems to be a ton of interest at $50 per shirt judging by the Facebook group. 50 shirts printed @ $15 each = $750, 50 shirts sold @ $50 each = $2500. $1750 profit in one weekend would be nice. Especially if I offended aggy in the process --------------------   |

there is no way 50 people will buy that shirt for 50 dollars apiece. I know there are dumb people at Tech, but c'mon....

There are what, 25000 people at Tech? And you're saying I couldn't find 50 of em that are dumb enough to pay $50 for a banned tshirt? Supply and demand. How many typical drunken frat daddies would want this shirt? Think of the stereotypical classless drunken rowdy Red Raider that the rest of the Big 12 hates and ask yourself, are there more than 50 of those people at a regular Tech tailgate? Hell yeah there are. If I do this I'll wager $1000 with you that I sell out all 50 shirts and tons of people are disappointed that they didn't get one -------------------- |

i'm willing to bet that since the shirt is "banned" you could sell well more than 50 at $50 just standing on university by the student entrance before the game.

This is a tad more difficult than I thought. One screen printer told me it was copyright infringement - bullshit. I researched it. Vick isn't copyrighted. There's no mention of Reveille on the shirt. Tech doesn't have red and black tshirts trademarked. Absolutely nothing wrong with the shirt in a legal sense. Another one told me he couldn't have em until next week. That won't help me buddy.
Other problem is I don't have $750 ($1000 if I ordered 100) laying around. I can't get a check from my uhh college football friend until next week. My mom thinks it's immoral as hell and refuses to help. Sorry, I don't give a shit if I offend Aggies or PETA. I'm pretty sure if I offered my buddy who owns a bar a $1250 ROI guaranteed on a $750 loan ($1500 on a $1k loan) in three days he'll say yes. If I can pull this off I'll offer any Techsans members a shirt for my cost + shipping, unless you live in Austin or San Marcos. Figure if I order a hundred, 20 XL, 40 L, and 40 M? I'm not ordering girl shirts because I don't particularly like doing business with college girls. I'm quite confident I can sell at least 80 of em, giving me $4k - $1500 for a $2500 profit. I don't consider gas expenses driving down there as a business expense cause I was planning on going down there anyways. And for any of you who think I'm an asshole for doing this, I'll shed a tear when I'm sitting on the beach in Cabo this December sipping martinis. This would easily finance my trip -------------------- |
