BL Products coming soon.....We need your reviews!

[ocean]

It’s been long talked about and now we’re finally pulling it all together!
BL Merchandise is coming, and coming fast!
We’d like to have things on sale for you to purchase by early to mid December!
(So you can spoil your BL friends and family with something awesome and help support the site we all love!)
We need your help though! We’re looking to have QUALITY products.
We’d like to have YOU to tell us about the online suppliers you’ve used……
What online stores, like Cafepress, zazzle, etc. have you purchased from?
Can you give us a description of the products, how you’d rate them?
Where would you like to see BL products?

I have never had any issues with cafepress. store set up was easy and did not take very long. the products are decent quality, i still have some tshirts from a few years ago.

i have never used zazzle.

 

[animal_cookie]

i am pretty sure i am not the only BLer to have ordered from cafe press. surely others have opinions?

edit: fwiw, i fixed a typo. but i thought i would ocean's explanation too.

i dunno where they make them, but the niketalk.com shirts are awesome
http://nketlk.bigcartel.com/

i particularly like this one

i love how on the back, they stitched on a hang tag just like the loop found on the back of the shoe the design is based on.

i posted this in the nasadd thread about merch but figured this one wouldb e better for suggestions



i always wanted a hoody and a beenie but i cant draw for shit, so my input is useless

i dont want something thats gaudy and over designed..a hoody with something simple like just "bluelight" would work..

i dont want to have to explain to everyone what bluelight means but if someone saw it and knew what it was, would comeup and say whatsup

its too bad bl doesnt have a design or mascot or anything that would let you know what it is just by the picture

i always thought a lightbulb that was blue would be cool as a design..since lightbulbs are often used as a symbol of a good idea or being "bright"..as in bluelight would be a bright idea to check out if you are thinking of doing drugs, its a place to learn and for harm reduction...

so a "blue lightbulb" could work with a slogan like "turn on your bluelight"..with a blue lightbulb centered on the front and the slogan on the back..or the slogan below it on the front

I like your bulb idea Chinky but K-mart definitely beat us to that with their Bluelight Special & it's mascot.
And you wouldn't want people thinking you shopped for your clothes at Kmart amirite?

I bought a Bluelight bumper sticker & shirt years back off Cafe Press . The sticker is still on my van and never faded after years in the Florida sun .

I agree, make items of quality something that's going to last, i know the US and other 1st world economies are in a bit of trouble but a lot other first world countries are doing alright and Australian's basically have money tree's in the backyard, also if you can afford drugs you can afford quality threads, i mean I'm a student and i wont touch anything less than Tommy Hilfiger

My idea, Knitted beanies.

instead of 'keep it funky' you could have 'Bluelight/er' and in navy blue of course, i would have no idea where you would source these from cause I'm on the other side of world, but i would pay a pretty penny for one of these.

i don't know maybe i have been up too long 8( still something to keep in mind

So, any news about the merch?

I have used cafepress before and was very satisfied with my order.

 

[ocean]

Well, I wish I had more news but we're looking for our graphics still!
If you have some art you'd like to donate to the cause, PM me!

 

[thujone]

I have no insight about where to buy from but I would definitely pay for a nice white mug with the bluelight pill on it.

Or maybe you are hip to a secret that K-mart has nothing to do with. It might make it even cooler.

You guys should get some of these.. just ordered in different colors (BL pill obviously) and with Bluelight written on the side. Just an idea.

Post back when you get it and let us know if one side is flat--If so, I'd totally buy one in BL's colors. :D

I'm not sure I just google searched it. I saw them in Hospitality Record's merchandise shop online and always thought it'd be a neat idea.

When I first read it, I thought you said you ordered one. LOL, so unless you want to do that, we'll have to see if the idea becomes a reality. I do need a new jump drive. (Or "thumb drive", "zip drive", "USB drive", "pocket drive", or whatever you want to call it. 8))

*cough* Flash drive...

Bluelight: where souls come together as one.

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

Oooh USB drive! I would really like one of these with the BL colours.

 

[modern buddha]

Can we do that? I'll make a t-shirt design if enough people would actually like to order one.

 

[sonix]

id be so down for a BL shirt or beanie haha and the usb thing sounds awesome. it would help the site have some funds for keeping the servers up ^_^
