ATS MERCH ??

I'm not here to poopoo on anyone else's taste, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why someone would want to wear shirts with words or pictures on them. Monochrome tees for me, please. One in each color so I can dress according to my mood.

My wife hates the smell when I'm in the same mood several days in a row.

So, black always then.

a reply to: TheAlleghenyGentleman

No, all the colors of the rainbow are represented in my t-shirt wardrobe. Except yellow. I have two blacks to substitute for a yellow.

Can you still buy stuff on this? Looks super old.

I see the teenagers these days wearing shredded clothes (mostly jeans, but whatevs). Maybe if we all start ordering up and wearing moth-eaten ATS t-shirts we'll get street cred and bring some new blood into ATS.

Get your swag here.

Yup, there it is. Crap promotion here and on the cafepress site.

WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS.

There MUST be enough ATS members who are creative, productive, and who do or can run e-commerce.

Competitions for new content and the opportunities for merch (with the free advertising spin offs) has been a treat seriously missed.

The cafepress prices are rediculous!

I love my "ATS hoodie" and always wear it with pride. It was a gift for contribution that I would never have been able to financially justify.

Thanks S.O.

---------------------------------------

Art competitions for posters, badges, mugs and all the associated artworks and creative necessities. Limited edition posters printed by a member with the facilities would become collectible and would attract attention.

Writing competitions for e-books compiled from the best entries available at regular intervals like christmas or the anniversary of Roswell.

Christmas, Birthday and especially "get well soon" cards for the sheep we all know, humourous of course.

Conspiracy related joke book.

UFO, Alien, Cryptozoology models, phone covers etc, 3D printed and hand made.

High quality hats, Tin Foil hats and themed facemasks.

Board games, card games.

Badges, buckles, jewellery.

Mugs, glasses, pots, boxes.

RFID wallets and purses.

and anything people spend money on worth a hell of a lot more than what a few thousand ads could bring.

--------------------------------------------

Farm the whole lot out to members to create, sell and manage with membership and staff voting for what makes sense and how the commissions/profits would be split.

MOST IMPORTANTLY...add enough clear links to all the merchandise anywhere possible. Selling one mug could equate to a LOT of third party ads that have led us to the current situation regarding revenue and equally as important, infrastructure.

Perhaps it's time to reinforce the ATS family and time to unplug some of the ATS system and let those who have faith and hope for what we stand for to free up resources and convince our Captain to remain on board by relieving a load which stifles his vision.

What can YOU make, sell, write, promote?

Before you knock it, remember Ashley & Mary Kate Olsen? They ended their low paying acting careers to
sell MERCH at Walmart!

I'm a professional graphic designer, specializing in merch. I can help. And I would love to help.

Some of my Apparel Designs

You do a great job. I love the faded prints...

I'm not wild about clothing (shirts, hoodies, hats, etc) Edit: Wait a minute, that didn't sound right. I not only stepped in it, but left it wide open for everyone else to poke fun

BUT.

I would buy the f# out of coffee mugs, beer steins, even wine glass sets.

And shot glasses.

< sigh > Okay, okay, and espresso cups, too.
