Am I the only one that would like a camp cap version that says NIKETALK on it. :nerd:

Also, I would love a new NT shirt. I never wore it and ended up misplacing it, but think I would wear it now.

beating a dead horse here...

been asking constantly for these since the second they sold out. it wasnt fair in the first place, limited edition? SMH this aint Nike BS :smh:
 
pralli wont happen, if it does it wont be for a while. i remember there was another thread asking the same question and i think meth said that all of the leg work was handled by someone else (design, talking w/ new era etc) and they basically presented him w/ a completed project, also i think he said that either that dude no longer has the ne plug or he cant get in touch w/ the guy and that he would like to focus on other methods of raising money to donate. if someone on here has a plug w/ ne to get the hats made and brought the whole thing ready to go to meth he might green light it. :nerd:

That we rely on Rajah for our merchandising doesn't mean that he's the only person in the universe who's capable of creating great designs. He was the lead on this project. He made all of the arrangements and got this thing done from start to finish. I didn't deal with anyone at Cap City myself. There's nobody on my contact list I can get in touch with to say, "hey, let's do another cap." I don't have the original design files, either.

It's easy to say, "well, just call up their store or something and ask to talk to whoever's in charge then. Figure it out. I don't care. Just do it." It's no skin off your back. At the moment, we have more pressing matters to attend to. People are interested in NikeTalk merch because they love NikeTalk. The site is the basis of everything we do here and when it's not performing the way it should be, that takes precedence - and I think 99.9% of our users would agree with that.

Having someone outside the staff handle the design work is one thing, but having someone outside the staff handle all the production and distribution arrangements isn't going to happen. You don't just say, "oh yeah, people want caps so whoever wants to make stuff with our logos go ahead and do it... and, if you can, see if you can raise some money for charity while you're at it." We have to be willing to trust somebody with the integrity of the community, and that's not something any of us should take lightly.

and

I care nothing about your credibility though, you are not my employer nor the person who manages my art account.

You continue to make long winded posts with overexerting rhetoric and little substance. You know NOTHING about design and or making merchandise and you want to tell ME about credibility? Check the diploma from Columbia in graphic design if my online "cred" is a problem. How is it possible that Hardaway33 (an NT member) is able to produce tees and other merch in mass quantities with well executed designs? Yet you all continue to fiddle around on something simple as T-Shirts? NT has been featured in NY Times TWICE, yet you can't make a simple phone call to Cap City? Why not contact Ben Baller I'm sure dude got connects. How many people are on staff? You mean to tell me you can't designate someone to be in charge of NT shirts and hats? Hats are one thing, I understand that can be difficult. But shirts are so easy to produce, you all are just stubborn and want to make things harder than they really are and or don't want to take outside advice.


So much misplaced hostility over a message board's t-shirts... and I thought Yuku had security issues.

Speaking of a "long winded post with overexerting rhetoric and little substance" you just puffed yourself up and went through all of that nonsense just to say the same thing that I already said: that I, personally, don't deal with the merchandise. We did designate someone with professional design experience (and, frankly, I'd put his resume up against yours any day) to be in charge of the merchandising, but he's been MIA lately.

You haven't volunteered for the job. You haven't shared your portfolio. You don't have any meaningful advice to bring to the table other than, "ask somebody who's been successful at selling designs on here and have THEM do it." Solid insight there. In essence, you're just volunteering OTHER people to do the work? I can tell you to run 20 miles right now. It won't make me sweat.

In the past, you've complained about Rajah being the designer - and I think by now the motive there is pretty transparent - but, although you've convinced yourself that you're better qualified than he is, you never took the time to submit anything of your own. If somebody presented me with a great design, why wouldn't I consider it? Rajah and I have talked about doing design contests etc. in the past and that may happen in the future, but, when it comes to execution, what's so difficult to understand about preferring to have someone on staff who's done this work for large, well-known brands handle the legwork? Do you really think there's a long line of similarly qualified - and trustworthy - people willing to do all of this for free? None of the names you've mentioned have volunteered their services for this task. I'm not so egotistical as to think that it's an "honor" to ask someone to do so much work for free - even if the ultimate goal is to benefit charity. All of the people you named have the resources to do their own charitable fundraisers if they wish.

It requires nothing (save, perhaps, gall) to ask someone else to labor on your behalf. That's your contribution to this discussion? Thanks.

As for what I plan to do with MY time, the website itself takes priority. All of this is predicated in the continuing success of the community and the amount raised for charity from merchandising is penny ante in comparison to what the site itself has generated and is capable of generating. We mainly create merchandise because our fellow members enjoy it, not because it's a solid revenue driver for us. The Japan and Somalia fundraisers involved no wasteful physical merchandising and were FAR more successful at raising money for disaster relief efforts using only digital incentives.

Not everyone wants a t-shirt, no matter WHAT the design, but EVERYONE here wants the site to be the best it can be. Even if all you personally care about is merchandising, improvements to the front page etc. would make it infinitely simpler to let people know about product releases, so it doesn't make any sense to put the cart before the horse.


I may type more than the average user, but at least I'm not all talk.

I like the patch. If you didn't know, NT's New Era family collects fitteds with green undervisors and side patches. I would love a new one with a much larger run. A 2 tone fitted. black crown, red visor.

Photoshop I did in the OG thread:
