Show HN: My weekend project, Startup Tees

Good looking shirts are all about good fit. None of your models have a shirt remotely fitted for them. The pictures currently do a disservice for both the shirt and the model!<p>Fun idea, though I am not convinced it will go far as a business/way to make money. I have seen this a couple of times. Sites like <a href="http://www.startupschwag.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.startupschwag.com/</a> had to eventually give it up despite a good initial publicity buzz and following.

I'd much prefer startup-culture Tees - instead of wearing logowearz - some I've seen:<p>- "Launch or STFU"<p>- "Lean Startup, no Fat Pitches"<p>- "Keep it lean, Founda"

zach- I'll give you startuptees.com if you want it... drop me a line,

Sorry, but why would I wear a DropBox t-shirt? If I'm an employee there or something, it might make sense. It also makes sense if you identify yourself with a particular large company's ethos like Apple / Google, but I just can't see myself wearing any of these ...

I love T-shirts. I don't love branded logo T-shirts, but many folks do. So best of luck!<p>My advice is this: your product photography needs to improve by an order of magnitude. I am trying to give good feedback, not make you feel bad... this is key and your current photos will hurt your conversion rate.

If only I could get a Dropbox shirt with my referral code URL printed on it.

Is this a weekend project, or a larger project? It seems a bit bigger in scope than something put together in a weekend.<p>Either way, awesome idea. Acting as a distribution/sales channel for startups to spread their merch is a great idea. I can't imagine Dropbox wants to spend a lot of time dealing with selling shirts - outsourcing that to you guys makes a lot of sense.<p>Good luck!

Why does every side project need to be done in a weekend?

Please get a domain and a product name, using a folder under your own personal domain doesn't instil confidence.<p>(Also I love t-shirts, I have 75 in my cupboard and ~15 currently being shipped to me, if you have good shirts I'll be purchasing lots :D)

Does she come with the tee's?<p>(I can't be the only one thinking that!)

Please branch out into stickers! I just had a conversation with a founder yesterday about where he gets all his startup stickers (by going to events, of course). But not all of us can do that.

I second these comments, would be great for mobile games or entertainment focused startups, where a lot of users are loyal fans and would wear the merch around proudly

I'm not clear how this is better than a given startup using Printfection (or similar company) to offer print-on-demand tshirts that are fulfilled and shipped directly to the buyer. Looks like prices on Printfection would be same or even slightly cheaper than this service.<p>It would seem that these guys have had to print up a ton of shirts, deal with inventory, fulfillment, etc. There are companies that will do this for you the same costs.

Allow people to print up their twitter profile - ideally verify they own the account - Icon and name on front, stats on back!<p>Organic cotton for bonus points!

I think this is a neat idea. I'm looking forward to seeing more shirts on the site. I can see why startups would gravitate to this. Why not have someone else promoting you on their site and then having the shirts distributed to the public? Small price for a lot of PR.

Such a neat and simple site design and the shirts, oh god the shirts. I love you man &#60;3

Shouldn't the companies in question pay me for carrying around their advertising?<p>I wouldn't mind wearing such an "ad shirt" for a company I also like, if I could get it cheaper than a normal shirt of the same quality.

If I were a startup, I'd probably just give away t-shirts for free, maybe just charge a nominal shipping fee. the person who is wearing it is advertising for you after all.

Looks great! Would it be possible to provide overseas shipping for a fee in the future?

Pretty sure you're not supposed to use the reddit logo without permission of the reddit team.<p>I think this could cause a lot of legal problems, especially if you're not asking for permission.<p>Otherwise looks good.

No shipping for India :(

Nice! Are you using spreadshirts to print?

cool! love it!

How do we submit our own startups?

This is sick!
