I'd wear that: bit-tech t-shirts
Posted on 20th Sep 2010 at 11:33 by Alex Watson with 210 comments
Summer's over, mornings are getting a little colder and you're probably wondering where your gloves are.
Clearly, the time is right to introduce a new range of t-shirts!
Yes, that's right, we're finally making some new bit-tech and Custom PC merchandise, in the shape of a series of t-shirts. Which are of course, shaped like ts.
They'll be on sale soon, but before they launch, we'd like to get to some input from you, the community. Post any slogans or ideas you'd like to see on an official bit-tech / CPC t-shirt in the forums. We'll pick the best ones and if your slogan does get selected, we'll send a few free shirts your way.
Here's the first two we've designed:

We have a few more up our sleeves (and they'll all be available in multiple colours), but before revealing them, we'd like to get your thoughts. So, think you can do better? Get posting then!

Discuss in the forums ReplyHow about one with the beanbag?
EDIT: available in the US?
Also, would anyone actually buy the Relix one? Really?
Yes.
EDIT: Oh, the text, not the pics. Moar pics stat!
May have to buy one. Is there anything on the back? ie your logo or anything?
Ask him!
Also, Can i haz teh cheesecake plz????
"If it ain't broke, mod it!"
"On the 8th day, God overclocked."
And my own contribution:
"Bit-Tech: That's right, we gave Halo: Reach a 7!" ;)
EDIT: Not NSFW, but perhaps NSF-taste and decency - linky
I want the whole CPC / bit team, arms folded, arranged in an arrow fashion, Alex at the front, all looking at the camera. Like you are a metal band posing for a magazine shoot.
Edit: Aside from that gem, how about:
"iMod"
"I've got the best hardware around."
"1000 Watts of Power"
"My hard drives are solid state."
"My fans blow AND suck."
Can you see a recurring theme here? :P Only the first one was a serious suggestion.
or...
IT'S OVER 9000!!!11one!1
Anyone?
Too much?
But can it play crisis?"
I'll get my coat..
I like the "I mod , therefore i am" slogan.
Some more slogan ideas:
- "Warranty: void"
- "Don't ask me why"
- "No, i will not mod your computer"
- "I'm not Sparta" *hides*
- "Will mod for cheesecake"
I like the cheesecake FTW idea, as that was the first one I thought of too.
"I agree with Joe"
and....
actually, I'm all out.
Fixed. ;-)
A full-stop? On a t-shirt? What madness is this...?
Love it!
I also want sleepygamer to start his own clothing line xD
You've got Bindi's hammer, you also need one with the Krikkit Bat :D
Relix says Relax
F.T.W. = Cheesecake
If in doubt, Mod it!
Based entirely around hardware innuendo and bad puns?
Yeah, I'm up for it. :D
>.>
(I'll put my HARDware in-your-endo.)
Ah, my days in the Chippendales. Glad I still have a fan base!:D
"Never Enough Wattage"
"Not bad... but will it play Crysis?"
"Everything's better with Liquid Nitrogen"
"What's A Dremel?" (post-modern T-Shirt slogans FTW!)
"WASD+LMB = 42" (is that too obscure an attack on games consoles?)
Love it!
Just for you and Mr. Leather to enjoy.
Accompanied by the tagline "Hell Bent For Leather!"

Fat F*****R

You forgot the Walrus size between Fat ******* and American.
"Metal Surgeon" (With a picture of a cartoon dremel.)
"My ride has 4" spinners."
"I'm not just cool, I'm watercooled."
"Modder with a heart of LN2."
"Ideas Inside"
You hardly cover modding anymore.
"People only call me when they can't open their email"
"Friday nights are always free for me, just like every other night of the week"
"What's a Girl?"
"I would take your number but I dont have a pen since there's no chest pocket to hold my pens on this t-shirt"
"I still live with my mum"
"Shed's Rule!"
"I'll fill your loop with my anti-corrosive fluids."
"I'm hot like a GF100."
"I only have one heatpipe, but it's over an inch thick."
Lol, nice. *waits for Joe to see this *
Those are all quality.
Nope, I don't get any"
" Antec What are you Smoking ''
'' Bittech the way to go ''
Would pay handsomely for that.
the fans scream defiance at
the god of defaults."

Modding: the act of modifying a piece of hardware or software to perform a function not originally conceived or intended by the designer.
Mod Do: Way of the modder.
Bit-Tech.net: Spiritual home of Mod Do
Should have gone to bit-tech.
Accompanied by the tagline "Hell Bent For Leather!"
Will, if you go round wearing this, I really won't mind. It might make me look over my shoulder more than I do at the moment because of your antics too. Just don't sue Dennis for damages when bad things happen to you :)
Far and away the best one yet.
Also funny.
I was surprised it hadn't been mentioned before, frankly.
funnies
Back: "You havn't seen my Fermi yet."
Looking for God? Just ask for Relix.
Epic : )
keeping it modded
warranty? lol (put a cartooney power tool next to it)
Still working? Fit it (or I'l fix it)
Brand new... still not good enough (or without the still and a picture of something cartooney with an upgrade)
H2O < LOX
Well actually yours is "Mod ergo sum"...
the demotivational thread..The iMod shirt would be tacky and the whole i prefix goes aganst what most of us stand for here on Bit :-[
How about a shirt with a full row of green rep bars on the front and red rep on the back, along with the mouseover text?
I'd love one with the old bit tech logo !
I find your lack of Distro's disturbing.
May the Source be with you.
(Pic with Bill gates and Steve jobs)
Caption to read:
Steve: "We must prepare for tomorrow night.
Bill: Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night?
Steve: The same thing we do every night, Bill
- try to take over the world!
"Who is Relix"
I think a big picture of relix on the back with "Who is Relix" or "Bit-Tech Mascot" and a small Bit-Tech logo on the front right breast.
Or
OMG,
Relix & Cheesecake
In Gods Name
What Have We Created!
I imagine there wont be a Relix T-shirt as he would demand royalties :)
Yeah, because everything else mentioned thus far just oozes urbane sophistication! :D
Slogan idea: Elbow deep in tech
slogan idea: Off the shelf my ass I'm an OC Monkey
slogan idea: Off the shelf my ass I'm an OC Monkey
bit-tech: For when you absolutely, positively have to get the highest MHz in the room, accept no substitute.
(You could even have a monochrome pic of a couple of the bit-tech staff wearing Jules & Vincent style suits).
Slogan idea: Edit button, it works, honest!
Anyhow, here's some possible designs.

I cannot wear t-shirts with crew necks.
This isn't some sort of vanity or anything else.
Crew neck t-shirts make me choke. Physically.
I've always had this problem. Thank God my parents found this out when I was a baby oh these many decades ago!
I had a waiver during my time in the US Air Force from having to wear crew neck t-shirts or any uniform that was tight around my neck. The Air Force didn't mind since they couldn't have me going around with my face always being Air Force blue.
Several years ago I began noticing I wasn't the only one with this problem. I started realizing many people wearing crew neck t-shirts that had been torn at the front of their necks and asked why.
They mostly admitted to having the same problem as me. Others were just slobs.
No, none of this is a joke by any means. It is a physical disability that I've found no answer to.
There are v-neck t-shirts available in very many colors now. I would pay a premium for shirts such as these if you had them available as an option. Please consider this. There are also a lot of people that would buy v-necks if you made them available.
I'm sure many of you will find this quite hilarious so go ahead and post all of your little sniggering comments. I've heard them all.
I ask others who have this affliction to also post. Maybe then we may find some solace and compassion from people that haven't a clue as to what I'm saying.

"I'm kind of a big deal" (Stolen straight from Anchorman)
+1
Anyone for a 3some?
Front : I am NOT a geek!
Back : I prefer "hardware enthusiast"
If anyone needed the brackets, get out.
+rep for these, I think they're perfect!
(famous bit-tech quote from explosive article & thread)
Veni, Vidi, Venati?
Venatus means game, so I'm probably butchering Latin quite a lot here, but that could mean "I came, I saw, I gamed."?
Too obscure?
can you make this? only a bit better looking?
Something like this but all over the T-shirt

If someone took the time to turn each image into a vector and overlap them appropriately that would be an awesome shirt indeed.
Either that or a little slice of cheesecake instead of the logo, or a mince pie of course.
If it's moddable, mod it
Kid's have lego, we have a workshop.
Modding is our world, Is it yours?
Modding is our world, Are you in it?
Forget CoD, Mod
Factories make tech, We mod it.
THIS IS PC WORLD!!! No, this is bit-tech.
Your pc, Have you modded it?
No doubt already been suggested: I Mod, Therefore I Own
:( In all seriousness, if you want to make decent shirts hire an artist. Do a sponsored compo on threadless.
Alternatively I'm calling it now, and in a couple of years when there's a clearout I'll take a box. I always need something to wear when I'm in the workshop.
An old classic?
"More RAM than a flock of goats."
Can we unban warrior I kinda miss his ramblings
yeah every forum needs a warrior to keep things interesting or like on evga- a guy who claimed to have a really high iq.. then got trolled so badly one weekend he rage quit the forum
those are always entertaining
I second the Cheap-shirt!
+1 for the 'your lack of cheesecake disturbs me' and for a v-neck option
Both of these are awesome.
The Dremel one is good too. :D
"Are we still in the game?"
"Bit-Tech. 100% Cheesecake."
Would have thought this one would have been here by now.
but love the "1000 Watts of Power"
And obviously...the Bit-Tech Logo (on a V-Neck)
Or this Guy in big
Nice and simple, and easy to iron obviously.
And my humble contribution:
"Press the 'Any' Key"
Sam
With a big Bit-Tech logo on the back?
I already said that one a while back ;)
However, I'm dead against anything to do with Patrick, Sparta or leather. These are the lamest aspects of the last couple of years on BT and are things we want to forget not celebrate.
sorry must have missed that
At least produce one for Will! xD
and/or
"I successfully modded this t-shirt... when I bought it, it was blue..."
You weren't there, man.

See I loved this
Dremel must have made a fair few sales from readers of this site and be well-up for an alliance?
Or:
"If you remember 8-bit, you weren't there"
"Duke Nukem Whenever"
"Game over, man! Game over!"
Should be within a week or so - for the first round. It'll take a bit longer to turn the suggestions in the thread into designs!

We should have a vote (don't know how though...) :|
"Veni, Vidi, Moddi"
How about a simple Bit-Tech.Net T-Shirt with the logo on it.
I'd wear that.
Plus, please don't use cheap shirts, if it's a nice shirt that's nice and soft (Aeropostale makes very comfortable shirt) I'll pay extra for it
Want ;)
8 Bit Cheesecake!
definately V neck
Just a simple CPC/bit tech logo on right Breast
The Imod is great but it should read " imod therefore I am"
there are some great Ideas here.
Go for it
Not true, we're doing print on demand :p
"Ironing doesn't save lives. Folding does"
"This shirt isn't creased... It's folded!
Given a certain someone's history with dismantling products:
"Bit-Tech - Testing to distruction... sometimes on purpose!"
Nevermind the Aliens, we're Folding now!
I don't understand the "if you remember 8 bit, you weren't there" one...I remember 8 bit...and was there
Power consumption is irrelavant,
more Mhz is not,
i also remember programming with 0 & 1's, dek the halls
all I remember is commodore sucked :D
For the insider, it should make them bust out in laughter. Fermi 100 hot references and the like.
"APUs put the shizzle in floating point"
Anyway, on the front have text reading "What's ruining your life right now?"
And on the back read "What currently makes your life awesome?"
Or vice versa.
;)
its the only one id consider buying. fear bindis banhammer? lol.
and it must have a smiley as if we're excited, because we're always excited to mod
I like it. I like it alot.
Alright, couple of ideas, not entirely sure if I am serious with these....
http://forums.bit-tech.net/picture.php?albumid=932&pictureid=13918
Thanks...cleared that one. Doesn't apply to 8-bit though :)
If you think that, you weren't there. ;)
Don't remind us man :(
If we buy enough of these will you reopen the thread? ;)
iLike That one!
F. T. W. = Cheesecake
Cheesecake ftw

So it plays Crysis then?
Demote has been demoted
This is not Sparta, This is Patrick!
