ZeroWear: The official clothier of Ground Zero Games.
*****************************************************
http://www.printfection.com/ZeroWear
I have re-created, or collaborated, and gathered all the [OFFICIAL]
insignias of the GZGverse together and designed a variety of logo T-
shirts for the GZG and gaming communities, and general interest.
At launch the ZeroWear store has a couple dozen options for shirt designs,
with flags and insignias for: NAC, NSL, FSE, ESU, KV, SV, PH, UNSC
The store also has other GZG-related graphics, such including the
cover design from Full Thrust 2nd Edition, and an Ortillery Command shirt
starring "Alexander's footer".
All insignia designs have color versions, black-on-white, white-on-
black, and "military" styles. Although the store shows one specific color
choice per shirt, all shirts can be selected in a variety of colors. The GZG
graphics are inherently quite cool and have appeal
outside the GZG - or even the gaming and SF - communities. My wife,
who was looking over my shoulder as I was putting the store together
saw the black-on-white Kra'Vak insignia and said "Neat design! I'd
wear that." So I ordered one for her.
More GZGverse designs and styles (e.g. GZG logo, ORC, NI, IJN, book covers,
humor, etc.,) will be coming! Other GZG gaming related graphics are also on
the way. I will post updates occasionally when new neat stuff goes up.
ZeroWear is not going to be a real money-making endeavor. The primary
purpose is to provide some neat looking items to the community and an
additional promotion platform for GZG.
One of the reasons ZeroWear is opening now is that the print-on-
demand house we are using, Printfection, is now running some special offers:
First is a free shipping deal (on orders of $50 US or more) until December 11,
or a $5 discount if you use GRANDOPENINGS at checkout ($20 or more).
Printfection says it can deliver by Dec. 25 US orders placed before midnight
(Mountain time) on Monday Dec. 11.
Most of the designs in the store are on Men's 100% cotton T shirts. However
Printfection has on offer a variety of other apparel, including baseball
jerseys, sweatshirts, hoodies, long sleeve,
ringer, and sleeveless T's, and a varaite of kid/baby and women's
apparel. I can easily add apparel options for existing designs if requested. I
*will* take requests for new products and designs, with the caveat that they
be GZG related.
Please visit, pass along, and send feedback and requests to me if you have
any.
Ohhhh, Ahhhhhh!

Thanks, Noam!
I'm assuming the main price difference should be between the avec pocket and
sans pocket; if so, I'd suggest another look at what you have up.
Otherwise, only one question: When did the Sa'Vasku become represented by
fried eggs, sunnyside up? ;->=
Ok, the real question: why Printfection and not CafePress? Neither one accepts
payment in what I call a safe manner, but one's been going a lot longer. Just
curious.

I think the "Ortillery Command" quote is overly long, and fights the graphic
for attention. It would have been better if it was just the Ortillery symbol
and the quote "We're not GOD, we just borrowed his 'SMITE' button". Simple.

I thinks it s just right (obviously). I just can't remember where I saw
it first - I could almost swear it was from the Heavy Gear list, not
here. But its been so long, I can't really remember

(It's not original to RPG.net. As far as I can tell, it's a meme for an RPG
campaign that has gone off the rails. The GM uses a deus ex machina to end his
campaign, killing all the PCs. Stereotypically a comet or asteroid slams into
the world. The explanation for what happens has been distilled into those four
words: "Rocks fall. Everyone dies.")

In fact, I wouldn't mind a hat with that. The symbol and the words "Ortillery
Command" on the front. The phrase, "Rocks fall. Everyone dies." on the back...

Answering several:

This big difference is actually between lighter and darker colors (including
the military green). "Pocket designs) don't actially have fabric pockets. It's
just the
pocket location on a T-shirt.
Other price jumps include front+back designs vs. one or the other.

Since before our ancestors came down from the trees...

I read some reviews of price vs. quality and Printfection came out ahead on
quality.

It was a style decision. I've seen T's with long slogans before. The length of
the slogan is just as much a schtick as the graphic.
However, I could do a simpler version like the above wiht a relatively larger
graphic.

I like that. Ist it GZG enough to use?

Printfection doesn't do hats (yet?). But a design ligh that could go on a
shirt.

Also doable. THe front/back designs are just a bit more expensve. I'll
play around. with them.
You can also expect to see some Full Metal Assault Sheep in the near future.

It will be, in a couple months....

Having seen the Ortillery T-Shirt and shown it to a friend, he got bored
reading it before he got to the end. As a text on the front I do feel it is
too long. Something shorter, as previously suggested, would be better IMHO.
Nice work on the whole range though. When I am less broke I hope to put an
order in.
