Rumrunner Gear; What the well-dressed fan is wearing ;)

DutchS has kindly allowed me to make a thread of the Rumrunner Gear. (Hey, it's Fan Art, right?)

Well, I'm sorry to take so long to get back to this...I'd planned to include thumbnail images and to also rename some of the first shops to have memorable names, but I haven't had the time. I still plan to do this eventually, so if you want to bookmark something, bookmark this thread!

Although I am the Rumrunner Gear shopkeeper, these designs are all due to the combined efforts of IMDb Rumrunners. They're group efforts! CafePress allows shopkeepers to add whatever markup they want to the items as their own profit. Because the designs belong to us all, Rumrunners Gear has no markup over the CafePress base price.

Miscellaneous designs
"Savvy?" on camisole (red), spaghetti tank (black), and baby doll (warm)
Null's "baggage" quote on standard T-shirt (with parchment on white, without on ash grey)

Oookay. When you edit your post on Parley, it doesn't update the time stamp....

This post is so that people can know there's updated info in the thread.

I really need to buy me some new Rumrunner gear...

I noticed that the design for the Pirate Xing has changed a bit. Before it just said Savvy? Now it says 'It's all in the walk, Savvy?' I must say I like it better.. and now I need a new one... hahahaha.. :D

Thanks lor.. you ROCK!

Didn't Pirate Xing always have the different text on the back? Oh well, maybe not. (Not like I should know these things... :P)

I should order myself some more stuff as well... still. :lol:

Excuse me for a moment while I showcase just how much I've been out of everything recently...
What happened to the black T-shirts? Did they ever actually have them, or was it all talk? Do they have them still, and do you just have to add them to the shops?
It's just that a lot of the designs (especially Pirate Xing and Pirates Just Wanna Have Fun) would look much better on a black background, in my opinion.

Well Dutch, all I know is I have a Pirate Xing Jacket, and it only says Savvy?. So.. yeah... it must have changed then right?

:D

Hrm. Could I submit designs to the Rumrunner shop or whatever?

I'm thinking about it...

The Pirate Xing has always said "It's all in the walk, Savvy?" on the back....or it should. My hoodie does. :unsure: I guess I better check that!


DutchS, they do have black shirts, and every once in a while I drop into the discussion forum for that. forums.cafepress.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/61210653 (Oooh. Beta 2.0!) For the black shirts, they print directly on the shirts. First, they put down a layer of white, then they put the design down. The white isn't completely opaque, however, so the colors tend to come out kind of dull. It isn't anything like what you can get with a screen printing.

One of the threads talks about how you have to adjust your images to work on black. You have to make them lighter. How much lighter? Take an image. Add a layer, fill it with black, and set its blending mode to overlay. That's a rough estimate of how the image will look printed on a black shirt with the current process (which is still in beta, by the way).

So...you need to take your image and tweak it so that it looks okay under that black overlay, then upload the tweaked image to print on the black shirt. I think I can tweak the designs on the parchment, and some of the basic Rumrunner designs, but bright colors are out...way, way out.


Seven, if you have ideas and need help, let's talk!

Ah, well, who knows... sales could improve soon.

And by improve I mean at least have one person buy something!

Oh THANKS A LOT GUYS!! RIght when I'm tryin gto SAVE money I stumble across this thread!!!

*stares and wonders just how much of her paycheck she can put in there......*

Oh man, some of this stuff is SO AWESOME!

Hm, I wish I could write a quote so cool it got on to a T-Shirt. I could do my 'My name is...' and on the back have it say 'Silver Dragon' which would be awesome - but likely not a shirt anyone would want to buy plus it'd probably be kind of selfish, huh?

I'm just babbling but WOW! *goes back to looking*

And Will - I would buy something from LTI, but all of it is just 'brand name' stuff - 'Lost Treasure Inn' on a button or something. In my opinon, there isn't much to make it STAND OUT. Now I could be wrong, and feel free to tell me so, but that may be why no one is buying. It looks like a store no one knows about unless they stumble on it and all it sells is stuff with its logo. That can turn people off.

Please don't think I'm telling you what to do, I'm just mentioning why you might not be getting sales.
