T-shirts anyone?

[Johannes]

ehm... that's exactly what I got from the Italian distributor, Mogar Music.
I subscribed to their website, registered the serial numbers of my Nords, and got a free warranty extension and a bonus T-Shirt.
(Very similar to your design, by the way)

I don't know if it's common practice to all Nord customers in all countries, or just a special treatment by the Italian distributor (Nord appears to be really popular in Italy, I think it's one of their biggest markets at present)

Great tip, just wrote them and registered my NS2 bought in Italy and am waiting to get the t-shirt, the extension to 3 years of warranty is a great bonus, really great customer service, not sure about other distributors though.

FITTED T shirt? Up to size 2XL? What about us fat b*st*rds? We're being discriminated against yet again!

OK, so mine came in.

It's a medium. I'm certainly not a skinny person, but not that fat either. It's an American Apparel shirt which fits well and leaves some breathing room.

the Nord logo isn't completely centered in the front of the shirt

That's not a picture of an actual printed shirt. CafePress uses a generic picture of the shirt and superimposes the artwork you submit. The print is centered on mine.

Edit: strange, if I put 25 in my basket, I get a price of $24.75 per shirt. If I click on their 'show bulk prices' link, they show a much lower price. Even the price for a single one is lower.

For one-off prints like this, the price is much higher than if you create an account and submit a design for mass production. While it would get them to you at a lower price, I would also be making money from them, and that would be trademark infringement for commercial gain, which would be a lot of trouble for me if Nord decided they weren't okay with it. So, perhaps I will contact Nord to see if they are willing to work out a deal to license their trademark to me for printing the t-shirts, but for now we need to stick with this model.

Hope this helps.

Here is a non-fitted version.

And the source images:



The printing on the back is $9 extra - quite a lot if you ask me. So I expect that many of you will want to forego that. If you choose to get only the front printed, the price gets a bit more reasonable.

Here is a non-fitted version.

So, are you thinking of doing a bulk order if everyone pays up front? I see that they have frequent sales, currently 30% off. If 48 could be sold, the price would be quite reasonable. Now that I see they are doing size 3XL, I would take two or three in different colours at the cheaper price.

im searching for this tshirt you posted in black but the nord logo in red
can you do this?

[micheljohni]

I m agree with you it is cool and best shape but I don't want to infringe on Clavia's trademark.

My other half's dad has a screen printing rig for T Shirts. He sells decent quality shirts for £7. statementgraphics on ebay.

I think that if we could get 20, he'd do a run.

Who's up for it.

It will be done properly and will be "exactly right".

[Six-string-man]

What sizes and colours can he do? If 3XL and a range of colours are available, I would take two or three, if the price was right!

[jazzystu]

He can do whatever you like. As soon as I see him, I will ask.

He is an excellent graphic designer and will do it just right. If Nord did it themselves, they would get someone like him to do it.

I think he uses "fruit of the loom" t shirts, which are decent quality and a sensible price.

Once you have the screen, you can stick it on hoodies, tents, the lot. Being bothered to make a screen is the "can I be bothered" factor.

I'll ask him what his minimum run would be and then set about seeing who wants what colour at what size and then organising how to proceed.
