Genuinely surprised by the quality of site and setup as a whole. Not sure what I was was expecting but this is good, a .com too. Haha. Always liked your first samples as they mirrored the banksy style of portraying a graphic, I'll be making my first purchase ASAP!

Each to their own and all but let me put it into perspective. Go to any store and buy a specifically designed t shirt, totally unique....you'll pay 40 - 60 quid.

I was store manager at fenchurch in St Davids and that's the prices we were putting out for the the worst quality of garments, but becos a designer did the print we could sell it for inflated prices.

How do the sizes run? and can ill-fitting ones be exchanged ?
Used to be a large but due to my new ripped torso I'm prob extra extra small :)

Nice one mate, I've been working at it for ages - the idea has been growing in my head for about 3 years! Had an idea for a Hasselbaink T-Shirt, when he was playing for us and it just grew from there!

Appreciate the feedback mate, it is always hard to choose a price. After looking around the internet, I found that most companies producing T-Shirts like this charge around £24.99 - but they are more high profile brands.

My T-Shirts are all screen printed and quite expensive to produce, £17 was about as low as I could go as the profit margins are already small.

baseboy007 is spot on with what he said though, some brands seriously exploit their customers. Screen Printing can be expensive to do - but the profit margins they must be making on charging £40 - £60 quid is ridiculous!!!

lol!

They aren't that tight fitting but they also aren't as regular fitting as some brands. If your normally a Large - I would say stick with a large - even though you're now ripped. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ;)

If your not happy with the sizing, we can do an exchange no problem - either by post or I can meet you at any city game!

Thanks again for the interest.

Hello mate.

Love the idea, love the concept, some great designs, just dont like the colour sorry.

I know City are Blue and White but in my opinion there is just to much White going on which makes them look like cheap white t-shirts with a print on them so I can see where Nukes is coming from with his £17 is steep.

For example, you can get this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003TWKWPY/r ... nkCode=asn

for £9.99 in some places.

Id love to see what they would look like as blue t-shirts with a print on which Im sure you have already got in the pipeline.

Good Luck fella.

Just setting it up for United States now mate. It's the same postage rate as UK - I couldn't sleep at night charging exiles more for showing their colours abroad!

Thanks a lot and I'll PM you as soon as it's setup! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Appreciate you saying that mate and the white colours are something I was definately conscious of. The reason why I chose white to start of with - is because when we started experimenting with different inks and styles - the designs never looked good with light coloured inks on dark shirts, they almost looked like photographic negatives and the crisp white shirt with the blue print made the designs look alot better.

Your definately right that more colours are needed though and I'll definately have to do shirts like you suggested soon. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

As for the pricing, the price of the T-Shirt you put up is a Fruit of the Loom T-Shirt and a lot cheaper to buy than the higher quality T-Shirts I use. I'd be selling at a loss if they were to sell for £9.99.

I promise they aren't cheap white T-Shirts they are a nice fit and good quality - I spent alot of time sourcing the right ones to use. If they look ropey in any of the pictures it's probably more down to my dodgy photography skills! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks again for the feedback mate - I do appreciate it!
