Thats fine... my agent said that singing "Tarantulas-man, Tarantulas-man, doing the things a Tarantulas-can" was hurting my bookings.

So as long as Marvel dosen't find out, rock on.

While I agree that there is very little difference between MST3K and Rifftrax, they are separate entities and MST3K shouldn't be mentioned on the t-shirt.

Good designs by the way.  I would buy them. (well, one of them, I don't need a closet full of rifftrax t-shirts....or do I?)

All joking asside, I think we would all like to see some official shirts.

Rifftrax admins? You got your ears on?

I concur, its like free advertising i think they would be all over this.

I can't wait until more people get Tivo and advertisers start getting so desperate that they pay you to wear their t shirts.  I can see it now, companies donating truck loads of t shirts to the homeless.  The more popular you are in high school the more companies have to pay you to wear their products.  Product placement everywhere! 

But regardless of that, I'd happily pay for a Riff T.

Any word on T-Shirt progress?  I was really excited for these when the topic came up.  I've been wearing my MST3K shirts a lot, using it as a segue into Rifftrax if people comment on them.  But a Rifftrax shirt would be much more efficient.  Then any one can ask about it, not just the rare MST3K fan.

Tarantulas

Since it was fan suggested, and fans (me) drew the shirts, I doubt its high on Legends / Rifftrax to do list.

It's a huge expense to print shirts and sit on the inventory untill they sell.

Unless you go the CafeExpress route which is the lamest thing ever.  Does anyone actualy buy that crap?

Ok, I understand that, but winter is coming and if I don't have Rifftrax apparel to keep me warm then I will probably freeze to death.

That's not a bad idea. Everyone else with T-Shirt ideas please post them. T-shirts are a consideration as of right now.

That's what I was referring to.  Just wondering if the idea got past consideration.

CafeExpress does suck, but I'd still buy a RiffTrax shirt from them. Especially now that they've finally discovered that t-shirts come in BLACK.

Things move slowly since they are so busy cranking out Rifftrax.  I'm sure they will sell them eventualy.

I'm still waiting on them to use the favicon I made for them when the board opened. :)

How about a screencap from a selected film, with the riff to go with it underneath?

Say for example: Klingons crossing their arms in STV and in quotes underneath it says "Ka'Pla, fo'shizzle". 

The RIFFTRAX logo and everything can be on the back.

Because its prohibitively expensive to license those properties?

The best bet is going with intelectual property they already possess...  Like Disembaudio..

Sweet, I was wondering what happened to that idea too.  Now the only other idea that is lost to time that I can remember is renaming the post count titles.  But that one's not so important.  Sr. Member sounds pretty cool.

You mean Spammer? It's only thing having post count showing does to encourage, you aren't 'senior' because you managed to post something in every second thread.
