I was just thinking about how cool it would be to have some straight dope clothing. I mean hell, if Bill O’_Really_ can have a clothing line, then why not straight dope. I’ve already came up with some awesome ideas. Besides, as a marketing major, I think that would be an excellent way to get the word out and put some extra cash in Cecil and mods pocket! Besides, I’d wear it 🙂 ---

I feel soooooooo stupid. I never go to straight dope’s homepage, instead I always just go to the message boards. Well, I’ll be order a shirt soon and wearing it proudly here at SIUC! ---

No need to feel stupid, you’re not alone in never visiting the column page. The SDMB could probably make a few bucks with a “buy stuff” link at the top, or at least make money for the Chicago Reader. Searching now I see the only close link is that very bottom of the page, linking to the SD homepage. Never scroll down that far, heh. ---

I’m not all that fond of the current T-shirt design. I’d rather see something with the banner logo – blue shirt, bold yellow “THE STRAIGHT DOPE,” with “Fighting Ignorance, yadda yadda yadda” below. Any plans for a second design? (Think of all the Dopers who would love to have TWO SDMB shirts! \ ---

Since the question has been answered, I’ll hijak and say that I’d not wear a shirt bearing “straight dope” in polite company. Or where I thought I’d encounter police. Just sayin’. ---

I wouldn’t wear a T-shirt that was so cartoonish, but a nice conservative, smallish logo over the right chest would be nice, and if you could get it with your screename, that would rock. This thread isn’t long for General Questions. ---

I agree that the current shirts aren’t something I’d buy, much as I like the idea of owning a SD t-shirt. OTOH, some friends of mine own the coffee mug, and it is hella cool. Much nicer than the picture on the website conveys. I’d definitely like one, but I gotta save my dough for my subscription renewal right now. ---

That is one ugly shirt. Can we have prettier ones? If people were worried about wearing a shirt that said “Straight Dope” we could have one that was just SDMB in big yellow letters on blue background. ---

I inferred from the thread title that the rest of the Teeming Millions routinely post to the SDMB in the nude! He he he 😃 ---

How about a nice golf shirt (polo)? I don’t get much of a chance to wear t-shirts. ---

While we’re listing stuff we’d pay cash money to the Chicago Reader for – I’d love an “SDMB” sticker for my car – one of those oval things ripping off the European country IDs. ---

I just wanted to join the chorus of folks who would buy a shirt, if it was a little nicer. Frankly, the currently available T-shirt is a bit too cartoonish for my taste. If you guys (SDMB staff) were to create a nice long sleeve T, with perhaps just a logo/motto on the left breast or something, you’d get my money for one or two. ---

I would also love to have a shirt, but I’m not real crazy about the design on the one shirt that we have for sale. Plus the smallest size they have is a medium and I’m a small person and medium sized t-shirts are usually too big on me. ---

I would buy one if they made them in repulsively enormous sizes so I could wear one. ---
