WCG/F@H shirts?

hat · 11-04-2009, 08:12 PM

I had this thought today while in school... I seen a bunch of people walking around with black shirts that said something along the lines of "Falcons wear pink for the cure" in pink lettering and it had the twisty ribbon thing (the falcon is our school mascot). While that's all well and good, how about those of us who fold and/or crunch for the cure? It's a lot more meaningful than wearing a shirt IMO, unless the shirt can simulate protien folding like F@H or crunch the plethora of projects WCG hosts.

Now... should the shirt should sport the techpowerup logo of course; but should we have two different shirts, one for F@H and one for WCG, or should we have one shirt with both? Either way it goes, there should be a URL to the F@H/WCG site, otherwise we're carrying around cryptic symbols that are even less likely to turn attention to the project than a shirt with a symbol and a URL on it.

The only problem is I have no graphical skills so I couldn't actually design the shirt, nor could I handle actually putting it togeather. I just brought the idea up.

And a lot of other things but it's not always that bad..

I have a t-shirt that has 69 and says NERD on it like a jersey, I get all sorts of compliments and looks when I wear it around.

Seriously novelty business here.

Don't know how to do them, but draw something up and post a pic, have some others do it as well, I'm sure someone around here has the artistic ability to come up with something pretty slick.

Maybe it does, but I don't worry about it. I'm 38 years old, with a good job, plenty of good friends, in good shape, and I bench press 305. Not many people would call me a geek, at least to my face. LOL. Honestly though, I'm way past worrying about how people perceive me. I'm successful at what I do, and I'm a good father. Beyond that, I don't care, and I'll wear what I want.

Next time I go camping I'm taking a midget girl and a fat girl. Fat girl to keep me warm at night, and the midget to do the cooking so I don't ahve to bend over the fire and cook, plus you can put a beer on their head while they give head.

89 is simply a 69 with a fattie.

Does that mean HAT can get some hot pink tutu's made up with some badges and URL's and you will wear it?

Yeah, same position, too far out of high school and even then I didn't much care.
Funny to look back at the people who did bother to try to make fun of me for wearing something like a pink shirt though, kinda see how their full time job bagging groceries at 25yrs old is going.

pink shirt + writing "it's your girlfriend's shirt" ftw

Velvet Wafer · 11-05-2009, 03:36 PM

i even saw someone in my local supermarket with a BOINC-Team- T-Shirt

King Wookie · 11-05-2009, 03:42 PM

Thx W1zzard for the best chuckle I've had all day.

I like the idea. I'd even live with the postage costs to deep dark africa.

A Cheese Danish · 11-05-2009, 04:14 PM

I like this idea! I'll take one of each plx!
Or maybe have WCG on the front and F@H on the back or vice versa; depending on who is getting the shirt.
SN's or just team name of "TechPowerUp" and/or the team number as well?

dhoshaw · 11-06-2009, 03:31 AM

I like it.

If it's done right, it will say geek instead of nerd.
