Does DAZ sell real T-shirts?

McGyver

I went somewhere this weekend where most of the people had some sort of apparel that reflected their interests or professions (no, I didn't dress up like a pirate)... Windbreakers with company logos, sweatshirts with sports club names and logos, motorcycle logos... It was a starting point for a lot of conversations, and since I was the only one dressed as Teddy Roosevelt, I sorta was thinking the next time I go there it would be cool if I had a DAZ T-shirt... But not with the new horrible octopus-head girl logo... The old tri-star one would be nice... But if there was none, I'd settle for the terrible logo.

So do these things exist? I can see DAZ being too busy (or uninterested) to bother with this, but I'm sure there are places like Zazzle or something like that where these things can be set up for DAZ fans and DAZ would really only have to bother with little more than setting it up and then receiving the chump change they get from this endeavor for stuff like small office expenses like pizza or cheap strippers...

If it's not out there (I don't see it) and you are a DAZ fan, voice your thoughts here... Well thoughts about the apparel idea, not just random thoughts... That's my gig.

DAZ doesn't seem to be the little thing it was a few years back, and it might not be a bad idea to advertise tastefully on a shirt or hat... Or... And I'm sure these would sell like gangbusters (that such an old saying), how's about some of the splash screens as shirts... It's gaudy, but it's cool... Although initially I was referring to small tastefull logos on the left side of the chest like staff would wear...either one would be cool.

What do you folks think?

You can always submit a ticket asking them if they sell them through a specific store. I don't believe so but don't hurt to ask.

Perhaps an even better idea would be to dress up in your favourite DAZ clothes.  For example, if you're a man see if you can find an equivalent to the "Newport Outfit" and ask your barber to style your hair like the Micah Hair.  If you're a woman, naturally you would want to wear the Morphing Fantasy Dress in one of it's guises, and sport the Pyrit Hair.  Show your love - be a DAZ character!

My hair is multicolored like many of the textures for hair at daz.

There is a Cafepress store that has DAZ merch. I have a black baseball cap with the old DAZ logo

That basic beige T-shirt with the old logo is kinda cool... And so is the coffee mug... But it's not big enough, I drink out of a Corningware soup mug.

I'm surprised DAZ never plugged any of these items.

You'd think their advertising/marketing crew would have glommed onto this idea several Victorias ago; it's almost a no-brainer!  (Ye gods, did I actually type that phrase out loud!?)  Certainly, their Internet advertising practically stalks me wherever I go on the web, even to sites I wouldn't think they knew anything about!  (Like National Review Online; the first time I saw a DAZ ad there, I damn near wet myself!)

If all else fails, though, why not make your own?  Use an image-editing application (I use GIMP, but I hear something called PhotoShop doesn't blow), and create an image of a size that you can print onto one of those iron-on transfer thingies that Avery sells (available at fine office-supply retailers everywhere -- or even Walmart, if you happen to be one of those people).

Just don't try to sell the result, because you're liable to run afoul of copyrights and such.  Making one to wear on your own body might be allowable under some variation of the 'Fair Use' doctrine, but don't quote me; I'm not a lawyer.  (I don't even play one on TV.)

By the way, McGyver, I have a large collection of your environment props, that I've obtained from ShareCG!  I'll admit that the scale of most of them is too massive for them to be of much use to me; but that's okay, I mostly only get them for the Readme's, anyway!

You could try Zazzle (Google it).  These guys can put your images on many types of things..clothes, mugs, etc.  It is a great idea for your own artwork...but do not try to sell it. I do not think that you can do that.  Also, do not put any DAZ logos on there, because they are copyrighted.  Good for your personal use.
