Sins of a Solar Empire T-Shirts

Spaceballs the lunch box...

from Sins Forums

I wasn't sure which forum to put this in, but I'm a big fan and as I see gamers wearing shirts that highlight various games, I think it would be great to see shirts that shine the spotlight on Ironclad Games and Sins of a Solar Empire. So this is a suggestion for adding t-shirts to Ironclad's store with expressions from the game. For example: "Behold, my creation!" Sayings that are iconic of the game. Another shirt could read (this is my favorite one): "Property of Ironclad Games." Another could read: "Do I have a life? I did until I played Sins of a Solar Empire." These shirts would put a smile on a fellow fan's face and bring more people into the community.

These are just some ideas and I don't know if anyone else likes them, but there it is.

While t-shirts would be great, I'm not so sure about using text from unit voices...

"My other car is a Marza"

That's awesome! My friend saw that, smiled, pointed at the screen, and said I want it. He also suggested one with a picture of the Kol on it, but I'm not sure what it would say. I love your idea as well, Ryat (including the extra letters for effect).

As to using unit quotes, I suggest that after seeing a lot of shirts that do that with movies and games. It's become viral and it makes fans smile. A friend of mine told me that he saw someone wearing a shirt (I forget what it said) related to a game that he also played. So he walked up and said something to the shirt's owner in reference to that game. The other person laughed and nodded. They didn't even know each other, but that shirt created community. Whether it's a clever saying like "My other car is a Marza" or a very familiar unit effect from the game, we would promote this game and hopefully bring more people in, and we would come across other fans and have something to talk about. However, I don't think we should only do unit quotes. Definitely mix it up and have clever quotes, unit quotes, and shirts with graphics and simply the title: Sins of a Solar Empire on the back.

It's a good idea and something that Stardock and Ironclad should look into.  They could offer them for sale at a print-to-order site.  I really don't understand why more businesses won't try to market themselves that way.  It wouldn't take more than a couple of hours to design a nice T-shirt that people would want to wear and to set up a page at a print-to-order site.
