No deal, I clicked the link excited wanting to finally show off my love of HN to my co-workers and was faced with a strange orange bar with a gray bottom. What? What are you trying to say with this? Watsi suffers for your decision. I would have bought two of them if it had actually said HN or Hacker News or anything more identifying than a bar with two colors.

#312I 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.
Thanks for the feedback, we've just added a Slate Grey option on checkout!
Love the gray actually. I'm much more likely to buy it now. Thanks for listening!

#313Nice design. Kudos to whoever came up with it.
Forget the naysayers. People have been spoonfeed by corporate advertisers so long, they think anything that doesn't function as an effective corporate logo is flawed.

#314I 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.
would someone who frequents HN recognize it I think so. The color scheme is unusual and distintive. OK, I've been here a long time and HN is permanently open in a browser tab so maybe I should get out more. The only flaw with the design I see is that folks like myself may have to suppress the instinct to mash the F5 button when they see someone wearing this...
Only one browser tab?

I guess people who frequent HN have noticed this post...and your comment by now.
Hence we can rest easy on the recognition factor :)

#317How is it "official"? Edit: I missed who posted it - thanks for head's up.
Look at who posted the link, who replied to you and what said those who replied to you.

#318This is ugly. I was shocked to Ctrl-f "ugly" and come up with nothing, but that's exactly what this shirt is.
That's funny because Ctrl-f "Ctrl-f" is the first thing I did after seeing the shirt, which is how I came across your post.

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.
html > body > center > table > tbody > tr:first-child > td { background-color: #000; }
html > body > center > table > tbody > tr:first-child > td * { color: #ff6600; }

I feel like I'm trapped in an HN parody. It's precisely because I want HN to be a site where people engage in meaningful discussion that I try to discourage people from upvoting the first dismissive comment they come across. Even discourage is probably too strong a word though. I feel like someone standing in the surf, trying to hold back a breaking wave with his hand. (I didn't answer his question because other user…
