KernelTrap: Merchandise

KernelTrap

For a limited time, KernelTrap t-shirts and other goodies are available for purchase. After a two week wait I finally received my samples in the mail, and I'm happy with the results. It's not as good as if I'd had it silk screened, not by a long shot, but it still looks nice. And CafePress makes the process convenient and inexpensive for me, and provides easy access to a range of options.

The store will be open for the next six months, and then will only stay open if it pays for itself. As there's not much markup (the base price isn't cheap), it's doubtful that the store will stay open past the six month mark. That's why this is a limited time offer -- get them why you can!

I have an "organic excitement" t-shirt in front of me (perhaps you have to know my dog to get the joke), and it came out well. The logo isn't quite as bright as I'd expect, almost as if faded from multiple washings, but it still looks good (Besides, isn't the faded look in? Or am I out of date on my fads?). The text on the back looks fine. I also have a big trap, displaying the logo brighter with a true white background. I'm throwing them both in the washer now and will report here should they unexpectedly deteriorate.

There's even a tshirt with the old logo for those that preferred it. The image is fairly small on the shirt as it's not a very high resolution. Hopefully it will still transfer well, but buy at your own risk -- I didn't preview it.

Other goodies include a sticker, a clock, a lunch box, a baseball cap, a mouse pad, a dog t-shirt, and even a thong. All in good fun -- nothing more, nothing less.

Update: Both t-shirts survived the wash perfectly.

I'm not sure that's such a great idea

I'm not sure that's such a great idea, underware with the logo of one of my favorite sites on it.

That just seems strange to me.

Love the underwear - the two

Love the underwear - the two things closest to my heart both in the same place! Cool!
