Sysopt T-Shirts!

[$1500-P4 gamer]

Bear with me, its a strange question! I was wondering if it would be O.K. to make a t-shirt with the sysopt logo on it. My girlfreinds mom has all the stuff to make custom shirts and wanted to know if it was o.k. to do. I mean Legal wise, so who do I ask for permision? I'm not selling them, there just for me-Heck my freinds dont even know of sysopt other then what I tell them. It would be good advertisement for the site. Got some cool ideas for the shirt logo pic, havent settled down to one yet. Thinking of one small graphic on the front with SYSOPT in it like about the shirt pocket area (typical t-shirt front style) and then on the back a larger one with www.sysopt.com on the bottem of logo. What do you all think?:confused: :)

[Steve R Jones]

Common sense rules. There's no way for anybody to know what t-shirt you wear tomorrow or next week.

[TARP2]

We will be watching you Gamer.

--The Lawyers--

:mad:

[gibsinep]

I think Sysopt should sell some of there own. You know have like a t-shirt design contest. I would buy one and I am sure many other would also. Just a thought, could be fun and an activity for the community here.

[grimfandango]

Not a bad idea to have a t-shirt design contest..
:)

and as for trap
there notin illegal about makin t-shirt and usin them.
:p

[gibsinep]

However it is illegal to put a tradmarked name or design on that t-shirt without permission.

[gibsinep]

Even better than a t-shirt. I nice fitted hat. :eek:

[TARP2]

Oh what the hell, Tattoos for everyone!!:x

[grimfandango]

I think t-shirts are nice and so are coffe Mugs!!
:)

Tattoos ???
:eek: :eek:

[NDD]

Tatoos is The Greatest :x :D

[herosrest]

How about a streming movie.

Sysopt lll - Kool burn of the Mobo's.

:)

[bushmaster]

Me thinks T-shirts would be great. Personally I'd buy a few cause I dig this site. And if it helps a cause thats even better...Ya could raise money and open a food pantry for out of work coders.

[gibsinep]

Yea really though why not make up some t-shirts?

[RayH]

Your avtar is probably being used without permission from the artist, too!

[gibsinep]

I know mine isnt, I took the picture. :p

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Yeah i'd sure as hell buy a sysopt T-Shirt and im one of the most tight fisted gits yu could ever have the misfortune to ever meet.

Tatoo's?? , well if you get me drunk enough its a possibility :p

Seriously - you guys could make a bomb selling good quality merchandise etc related to the community -- only plese set up some kinda shipping to the UK fot the poor people on the other side of the pond like me :)

-Jakk:t

[the xenon]

great idea

i would love to get one of the sysopt t-shirts

also u should make say the first 10000 free, u know like beta version so we can try them out ;):D

[gibsinep]

Any admins taking notice here?:confused:

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Sysopt case badges too please, i would be proud to have my pile of crapola, decorated with the name of this oracle of all computing ;)

The possibilities are endless for merchandising, really tehy are, look at the number of Junior Members that have started cropping up over the recent months, the user base is on the up.

Surely there must be some corporate fatcat/tycoon types in the community simply smackign their greedy lips at such a prospect for swellng their wallet to doorstep size. So come on guys someone out there must have the know how/potential to implement a merchandising system for the best (i say that sincerely) community on the net.

PS I agree, free beta testing ... purely for scientific reasons :p

[Strat]

Being the son of a yorkshireman, I was brought up believing a wasted pound is a lost pound and a lost pound should be found.

Basically, I'm hardwired to not spend money, it's in my genes........but hell yeah if they were less than £15 I'd order one.

[smelanson]

I would certainly get a sysopt T-Shirt and a badge for my case, it could use one:)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Having been brought up on £3/week pocket money, i wasnt raised to be stingy - ive just never realy had enough money to know how to spend any :D

--Jakk:t

[$1500-P4 gamer]

Case badges would be cool too! How about "SYSOPT-Inside". Hehe.:D

[gibsinep]

come on I want a shirt

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I want The Shirt AND The Case badge dammit!! ... cos im greedy like that :D

In a few years we could have Sysopt curtains, wallpaper, duvet covers, pyjamas...ahhh the mind boggles :p

--Jakk :t

[gibsinep]

Mabey some one can paint my car with the syopt.com label :D

I want a shirt and a case badge also

[bushmaster]

Come on all you admin's,mod's, and answerators.....lets get this ball rolling and give ( I mean sell ) the people what they want.
T-shirt's...T-shirt's...T-shirt's..... Oh yeah ..and case badges :D

[gibsinep]

Yeah why not.

And im going to make one that says "AMD RULZ OVER PENTIUMS!" My brother OWNZ a shirt print factory!! :D Then again I can have him make NOT only t-shirts,but bumper stickers ALSO w/ www.syspot.com... GAMER,meet YOUR MATCH!!!

[$1500-P4 gamer]

Go for it. Its your back, if you want AMD all over it-cool!
:)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Rather AMD than Intel, :p

BAH! Corporate fat cats, theyre nearly as loathsome as M$

Theres one! Who else?

[$1500-P4 gamer]

Theres always one in a crowd! Railfan why must you turn this good thread into AMD vs. Intel? Where did it have anything about it or even anything petaining to Brands other than sysopt. You want a AMD shirt-fine no prob. its your choice and right. But lets keep this clean and about shirts/case badgs/logo's/etc.-period. I personally dont want a Intel shirt myself, what I do want is a Sysopt shirt!:) :t

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Im not saying its AMD vs Intel, i have owned bit AMD AND Intel and have found both companies have tailored well to my needs. However what im saying id i'll always favour the underdog to the large all conquering moneybags corporations, as long as the underdogs product si still of good quality - which ever since the Tbird AMD has provided me with.

--Jakk :t

[fishybawb]

T-shirts, T-shirts, T-shirts!!
I'd buy one.

Just think of the publicity, it'd be like having walking SysOpt billboards all over the world. When we meet up on the streets, we can give each other knowing nods, smug smiles gracing our pale and sunlight starved faces. It'd be cool :D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Indeed - we could start a new fashion craze :D, everyone would want a sysopt Tshirt.

So c'mon guys... is anyone acting upon our requests or is our pleading falling on deaf ears??

--Jakk :t

[jad1097]

This has been brought up many times. It isn’t going to happen IMO.



DO a search in this forum and general tech and you will see.

[bushmaster]

So if one of us takes it upon themselves to have t-0shirts made up how would we go about getting permission to use the logo? . And then will it be ok to advertise and sell them here? would sysopt want a vig for the usage of trademark's?

Yeah, ok. I think he probably locked it because it was actually dead more than 4 months before you tried to bring it back to life. Don't try and blame any of your flaming on me.

[TARP2]

So, Who owns Sysopt ?

What in the hizee are you talking about? I never even posted in that thread, and the other thread was a monster flamewar that died months ago. I didn't get either of them locked, you did. If you'd go back and read through that thread, you'd noticed I stopped responding before the last two pages and P4 and I were actually cracking jokes, no longer flaming one another. Get over it, it's a message board, not real life.

Nobody is mis-treating you because you know me. If they were, don't you think they may have mentioned my name? They're asking you to stop with the childish poking. Stop blaming me whenever you say something and get reprimanded by a moderator.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Please guys -- subject over - chill...

back to the t-shirts.....ooooh how i want one ;)

At some point in the near future, you guys are going to have to go private with these messages if you actually have any t-shirts printed up...

SysOpt

"Please don't use the SysOpt.com logo without internet.com's explicit permission. Again, to do so violates our copyright and denies us of revenue from product sales, should a SysOpt store be opened in the future.

Please don't make me bring internet.com's legal department into this. I know everyone is tired of waiting. There is likely a light at the end of the tunnel but the delay cannot be helped.

dafremen: I founded this site in 1994. You came along here a few weeks ago. If you create the logo merchandise without my/internet.com's permission you will be doing this site and everyone who uses it an extreme disservice.


[This message has been edited by SysOpt (edited 06-11-2001).]"

This is why I asked if it was O.K. and who to seek permision from. I dont wanna mass produce the stuff. But then again I dont want the wrong person knowing I have a T-shirt, them being a little tatle tail and getting me in trouble or something. To the point though, I read that whole thing. No answer was ever given so I dont think anyone followed through. It wasnt outrightly rejected as a Idea. THe whole issue here seems that if we were allowed to make them and "BIG IF" Sysopt decieded to reopen store then it would take away from there sales. But they dont wanna reopen the store! This is so political it isnt even funney. It a never ending loop of legality and permisions!
