Lots of negativity here, but I love the design. I wouldn't buy a shirt if it said hackernews on it. I would get to many questions for too many people, and I don't really want to explain what I'm wearing.

This is perfect. People who know, know. People who don't, won't care.

I just wish it wasn't black. I get what you're trying to do with the color scheme from the site, but the black just completely overwhelms it. If you're going to go with something without text, have the shirt be the grayish color, with the orange stripe going across the entire chest.

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

Meh, I have a yellow lab that sheds quite a lot, and gets really excited when I see her, resulting in her jumping up and down and rubbing up against me.

Just keep a lint roller around.

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.

You can write your own username in with a sharpie. :) I would recognize this for the colors and shape. I do wish it came on a light-color T though.

I would recognize this for the colors and shape.

That works if you haven't set a new topcolor. (Actually, even for people who have set a custom topcolor, many HN pages still display the default topcolor, so the point in the parent post is correct.)

If I saw someone wearing this t-shirt, I wouldn't know that it was HN-related. But wearing the t-shirt below, I have occasionally bumped into other people "in the know": http://sdf.org/store/shop.cgi?3;sdf10 Plus the design is way cooler.

Oh man I remember that! I should get one of those shirts :)

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.

I'm sure after people see this it'll be voted into the stratosphere.

Will there be a higher-grade customizable offering for us high-karma old timers who haven't seen a top bar in that color for years? I'd hate to associate myself with all these Orange Bars.

Buying, nonetheless. Not to wear in public, of course.
