Oh man, I know someone who needs a shirt of Jesus hunting raptors.

It costs more to have the URL on the back, and the URL on the front is not up to snuff for Joel. It compromises the integrity of the design, he says.

I know what Joel says, but this is a shirt FOR the site, not FROM the site. The design would be the URL. eh, eh, poke, poke.

So you mean, like, fans ordering shirts from Cafepress with the HE url to spread readership? I like it in concept, but wouldn't it help the site more if we just bought more shirts? Maybe once we buy a shirt, we write the URL on them with silver sharpie! (Hey, if Joel started signing them in silver sharpie in really obvious ways, it would make people a lot more interested in knowing the source...)

Giving Joel that much power is dangerous :P, we might have FBs walking around with silver-sharpie dongs branded all over their groverfield shirts.

Oh shit, you have a point. I just want one that says, "To my biggest fan, Ebay"

As a general rule my ideas suck. So here's two of them.

One of my favorite running gags is the different "splodes" Joel uses. What if that was worked into a tshirt?

I know Jesus is a PA character, but what if there was a shirt with Jesus and Josh that said something like: "It's better to be Fancy"

That would be a neat homage to PA. I'm not sure that it would be too popular, though.

Well, theres a difference. A shirt specifically advertising the site needs the name and/or URL. The "has nothing to do with the comic" designs dont need the URL.

so do it, i buy.

I'm to sexy for this (www.hijinksensue.com) shirt.

I would personally like a Fancy Bastard shirt with some sort of less conspicuous logo. I can't wear a t-shirt that says bastard on it to work. Maybe a smaller logo that with the letters FB that people in the know could identify.

You know what.. I need a polo shirt. No one EVER offers polo shirts. I want something i can wear to the office. I would be willing to pay the premium for a stitched FB emblem on a polo with the website address under it.

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I would buy, I usually end up wearing that sort of thing for work. It's probably way more expensive to make a polo shirt with those stitched logo's though. I wonder what the price point is on that kind of thing.

That was weird, I was watching Voyager the other night. Even they used that gag.

Haven't seen any T-shirts for it though, looking pretty good.

Ahh, okay.

It reminded me of the similar Sheldon one.
If that one works, I think that this one would too.

Need some help guys.

I just killed the "Friday Night: Where TV Shows Go to Die" shirt because I wasnt really happy with how it turned out. I like the idea and the underlying frustration that caused it, but it just wasn't all there.

Any ideas for alternate wording that would actually make it funny, or an alternate graphic (other than a broken TV), or even NO graphic?

If I dont find a way to revise it, I'll probably just forget about it.

Friday Night on Fox: Where TV Goes to Die
Fox Friday Night: Where TV shows go to die
Fox Friday Night: Where Joss Whedon shows go to die

One reader suggested a "sad tv" vs a "broken tv." The first Idea I had was a TV/tombstone.

Throw in your 2 cents and we'll see what we come up with.

(if you dont like the slogan as it is at all, I really just want to make a statement about Fox killing whedon/Scifi Shows)

SAVE (insert Joss Whedon Show)

Hmmm...

"Friday Night - Fox's Anti-Whedon" With the "Friday Night" written in the style of the 'What's your anti-drug' commercials.

If you could find a font that looked a lot like the FOX logo letters and use that for the text, I think that would add to the funny.

Also, I like the idea of the caption still being "Friday Night: Where ___________". There's a certain ring to just having the first half of it be two words. Maybe something like "Friday Night: Where FOX Shows Go To Die". Or "Friday Night: Where Good TV Goes to Die."

Actually I kind of like the original caption. Maybe to make it more FOX-oriented it could have had the FOX logo on the broken shards of the TV screen.

I'm with Tindomiel - I'm having a tough time topping the original caption, but maybe the right typeface could drive it home. Maybe instead of a broken TV you could have a few gravestones with dead shows (and maybe an open grave for the Dollhouse headstone?). If you make the headstones large enough you could even throw some pithy epitaph on each one - a little something to get people looking at the shirt longer.

Of course, just having big gravestones on a shirt could look a little morbid. Maybe there should actually be someone (one of the cast?) digging the grave for Dollhouse.

Fox Friday Nights: You might as well not bother.

Different Ways to Kill off a TV show:
1. Have it star a young Baldwin
2. Make sure Gary Busey has something to do with it.
3. Put it on FOX Friday Nights.

If you're trying to boil it down to a few words, remember that you really don't have to. The PA sweatshirt referencing the "I Hope You Like Text" strip is one of their bestsellers, after all. Personally I would suggest a Webster's style definition of Friday, with a few of the more important words at double height.

You know, that's not a bad idea! The idea of a specifically-HE shirt was being discussed in another thread, and I think that may be a winner! Incredibly simple, but that usually makes for a good advertisement.

Thanks for giving him a choice.

I was thinking a shirt with Eli, Joel, Josh and Denise on it.
Maybe they're on one of those police line ups, with a card saying their name on it, and "hijinks ensue' atop the picture..

14 words that completely made my day.

I think a shirt with a montage of the angry/stressed/aghast/outraged faces of the HE crew would look nice. Dark colored shirt, faces would just be line work in white and grey. I'm sure the comic is ripe with visages to cut and paste. Simple, elegant, and a little enigmatic. "Cabaret Apoplexy" *insert jazz hands here*
