I agree. Anyone with animals knows that black just doesn't work, so I have to pass on a lot of cool shirts at conferences, etc

Can you explain this further? I don't understand.

Light pet hair. It stands out much more than dark on light, for whatever reason.

I don't really get this T, i understand its going for minimalism, but would someone who frequents HN recognize it if they did not already know its affiliation?(i wouldn't) & if the answer is no, then whats the point of the T? Edit for clarity: Not knocking the cause, it is great. Just the design really, maybe im missing something.

I think the reasoning behind it is that people might not want to walk around with "Hacker News" on a t-shirt.

Absolutely, i do also. But if its a HN Tee, should it be recognizable to those who frequent HN? @mayank same applies, inside joke to who? Those who where told it was a HN Tee or the HN community?(assuming its not recognizable to them).

I think you and I just might disagree on how recognizable this is, but its beside my point. I get some utility out of the thing, and I get to contribute to something that the community would like to see become successful. I don't normally donate at the drop of a hat, but pg has thus far very carefully tended this community without asking much directly from it. Its a no-brainer. If HN becomes a Kickstarter for non-pro…

Ah, well my comment was prominently about its recognizability/design.

To your post though i pretty much agree with you 100%.

Per request, we just added a Grey option in both men's and women's cuts! The specific color is Slate - you can check it out on American Apparel's website at http://store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=2001 .

Skip the colour selector and go direct to Slate: http://i.americanapparel.net/storefront/photos/zoom/serve.as...

I don't understand the problem here, it signifies a subculture. Maybe the issue is that it's not a good advertising vehicle?

We used Teespring recently for a campaign for Roll20 t-shirts, sold around 200, and we've already gotten tweets coming in from people who have gotten their shirt and love it! So if, like us, you'd rather keep focusing on your product/customers rather than filling t-shirt orders, give Teespring a shot.

I kind of wish this were the top comment. It would be humorously appropriate if the top comment on the thread about the official HN t-shirt were the traditional nitpicking/point-missing type that is so commonly the top comment when people launch new technology here.
