We're working on accepting Bitcoin through Coinbase, just wasn't quite ready for this tee!

SWEET! Can I pay via coinbase by sending to an email address instead? It's super easy :)

For sure, shoot me an email at walker@teespring.com and we'll organize it!

I was just going to comment on that. To my eye, Slate, Asphalt, or Heather Grey would work better (in order of preference). http://www.americanapparel.net/wholesaleresources/ExpressOrd... Also, these are 100% cotton, right?

We just added a Slate Grey option to checkout, you can now purchase! Thanks for the feedback.

any chance we can see a preview of it in the slate option?

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.

What color do you see? I never realized that the bar changes color.

With sufficient karma (trying to remember: was it 300? 400?), you can set the color you prefer.

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.

Hi lance, we just added a grey option on checkout!

I love this option; the ability to be my own downvoted comment.

Nice "insider" design! Since international shipping is $10.50, putting the cost per shirt at $23.50, but shipping for additional shirts is only $1, if there was enough interest I'd be happy to front a UK HNLondon Meetup group-buy, with all costs shared equally, and shirts to be distributed at the next event following their delivery.

Many upvotes for this! Maybe you should [get someone to] send out a feeler on the Meetup group? I'd totally jump right in.

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 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.

But Paul, your comment is the top comment :)

I think the inside joke is kind of the point.

Exactly.

It seemed particularly appropriate for the HN t-shirt to raise money for Watsi, since you guys in a sense discovered Watsi. They'd had some publicity before, but it was after their highly upvoted post on HN that their growth really took off. That was also how we found out about them.

I was surprised to see that the price is only $13.00. You could charge more in my opinion. I normally am not seeking a bargain when my purchase is affiliated with a group that I have a strong affinity for and when the proceeds are going to a good cause. Most of my past purchases of charitable t-shirts were in the $20-$30 range.

Perhaps you will test a higher price for the next iteration and share the results in true HN style.
