North 288 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 Hey guys! I was wondrizzlin' (as usual) if the MLPForums might/will come out with shirts sometime in the future. Because I'll totally buy, like, all of them... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxon 214 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 I like this idea. That would make identifying fellow members at cons about a bajillion times easier. 1 Thrackerzod is best pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphys Hedge 671 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 I actually made a thread a while ago asking about making MLPF Merchandise, unfortunately, the answer was no, so we'll probably not get any MLPF shirts. 1 Character in profile picture is Pearl from Steven Universe.

Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 Funny thing about that, I actually made an MLPF shirt for a class like forever ago. I'm talking nearly 2 years ago. Its in some buried thread. But yeah, that's the only forum merch I've seen, and it wasn't even official. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt .45 259 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 I like this idea as well. If enough people respond to this thread positively, it could encourage the administrators to take note, and look into making that happen. Here's the thing. Most of the designs that people would want, would likely feature licensed characters. The MLP Forum would need to get permission from Hasbro to use the likeness of their licensed characters on any merchandise sold. Of course permission could easily obtained by simply paying the license fee. I still think it is a good idea, so I offer this as a simple alternative to waiting for MLP Forums to obtain a license to market t shirts. Make your own. You can buy special paper for your computer printer that will turn images into an iron on transfer. For instance, I really like the current banner. I would totally wear that as a t shirt. So, I take a screenshot of this page, and cut the banner and expand it to the desired size, then could print it onto the special paper, and iron it on a shirt. Done. Does this violate copyright laws? Yes, it does. Is this illegal? Yes, it is. However, unless you are mass producing, manufacturing, or trying to sell, or make money off of shirts, it is highly unlikely that Hasbro will pursue any legal action against you for making something for yourself. However, if interest is high enough, MLP Forums may want to look into obtaining a license agreement, as it would also promote the website. Or they could opt for a design that dose'nt use any licensed images, that just says "MLP Forms.com", but I doubt anybody really wants one of those. Or maybe they do, I've been known to be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koukatsu 5,899 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 *is hoarding all the extra shirts from BABScon, because he is EVIL.* :comeatus:I don't know about official MLPF or Poniverse Merch, but there are some extra shirts, for various reasons. We just haven't decided what to do with them yet. 1 || Ponysona || Ask Me Anything || Johari Window || Twitch || Gamer Stuff || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt .45 259 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 Hi , Just letting you know that I have moved your thread to Site Questions & Tech Support. Hi Blue Moon, So instead of leaving this thread in general discussion, to gage how much interest the members have in supporting your businesses by buying shirts, you moved it to the support section, where it is less likely to be seen, and therefore not getting the opportunity to see how many would be interested in buying merchandise to support your website? Sorry if this come across like I'm trying to tell you how to run your business, but I'm just going to Sassy Saddle up and say that if I ran a business and people wanted to support and advertise that business, I would want to see just how many were interested in buying that product and then considering if it would be financially beneficial to offer that product if it was in damand. But that's just me. If you want to open a retail establishment and then try to sew all the dresses by hand without any help, then by all means carry on.

Also, traffic is never a concern because if and when we do decide to gauge market research data on merch I would likely push for it to be kicked out as a PM to every member for 100% visibility, put a notice (rotating banner) on the site, have a cute visual banner designed, and get with PR to push this like crazy on social media. That would just be a start. Also I would prefer to target likely member with disposable income. Sorry, not saying that you are wrong ... just, this is one of the degrees I have. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. I suppose you are right. I guess leaving it in general discussion would only serve to satisfy my own courisity of how many would want a shirt. Just sayin' I'd be more likely to make a "donation" if it came with a "free" shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
