I'm sad that this one didn't get quite the same attention. Disclosure, I made it.

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 read HN nitpicking posts in the voice of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons. "Why are you using American Apparel for a multi-threaded shirt and not Erlang?"
Too funny, and I agree HN can be a bit predictable at times.

#103Will 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.
Hahaha, and here I thought you were being facetious above when you said it lacks movement and vitality....
But now I'm curious how you would design a HN homage shirt.

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.
Wow! Much appreciated! Thanks and purchased! :-)

#105This is ugly. I was shocked to Ctrl-f "ugly" and come up with nothing, but that's exactly what this shirt is.
agree. i guess the main concern was to be minimalist than being wearable

#106Proud to buy and wear this. Thank you!
But I think I'll customize the back of mine:

#107Nice "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.
Hi from Teespring! If you guys wanted to collect a few UK orders together we'd be happy to ship them for free on us!
We used to use a cheaper international shipping service, but things would get lost too often and we hated seeing people wait weeks for their tees. We recently upgraded to USPS Priority International.

#108Awful design: why design a shirt that won't sell?
Aside: why is white so often not available for t-shirts?

I dont think its nitpicking I would never recognize it unless I also owned the shirt, and knew what it was.

#110I will buy the black t-shirt, but can I humbly request a white t-shirt option too?
