T-shirts: black or brown?

[Jenda]

Related poll for this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303557

Please help me decide if we want the original white-on-black design, or if we choose the brown on beige design. The company I'm in contact with offers the attached options.

One comment: the black ones offer a lot more choice in t-shirt types, collar types and include girl-cut ones too. See linked thread.

White.

But black is okay to. (voted black)

[taurus]

White on black and I like if you only have the logo on it... Will take two, please... ;)

[Jenda]

Please read the linked thread, or at least the first post :)

[x64Jimbo]

Color is insignificant. Collar type is very significant. PLEASE no v-necks. Ugh.

[Circus-Killer]

i'de like to see the normal color circle-of-friends or whatever its called, printed on that browny (edgy colored :D) shirt.

if thats not possible, then i'de go for a black circle-of-friends on the edgy-colored shirt.

just my opinion.

[RAV TUX]

voted Black (white on black)....black is a classic color that can worn with anything.

[to4i]

Brown will look better, voted brown

[Jenda]

Circus, please see the other thread. I linked to something that might be of interest.

[petersjm]

Oh, it has to be brown. I suit brown. Black makes me look like a freak ;)

[Jenda]

Edited original post... to show why I vote BLACK.

[matthew]

I voted brown, but honestly I will buy either.

[IYY]

I chose both. If both choices are available, I'd randomly pick one.

[Jenda]

Black is a lot more available, really. I could offer several types that way.

[matthew]

Black is a lot more available, really. I could offer several types that way.Hmm. Okay with me. Let's do black and if there's a great response and a reprint is called for maybe we can add the (great looking) brown or beige later. Just a thought.

[BWF89]

Brown on beige looks cooler. Plus it matches with Ubuntu's default color scheme.

[cantormath]

I ment to vote brown not black ::grin::

[56phil]

I voted for black, bit I'd be proud to wear either one.;)

[kuja]

People couldn't pay me to wear brown. Ever. I wouldn't mind a blue on black variant though ;)

[Jenda]

kuja, we wouldn't try ;)

[mikm]

I'm rather indifferent and would happily buy either.

[xopher]

I voted brown -- should have read the post through before I did though.

Id very much like a 'tighter' more chic version of the T-shirt, not a loose geeky one (no offense intended) :)

A black or graphite grey would be nice if the brown only comes in that plain basic model.

Just my 2 cents, gone the wrong way. heh..

[lotusleaf]

voted Black (white on black)....black is a classic color that can worn with anything.

Agreed, I voted the same :)

[ekuliak]

Color is insignificant. Collar type is very significant. PLEASE no v-necks. Ugh.

I agree, I would buy either as long as it is not a v-neck.

[Jenda]

What's so wrong with v-necks?

[sophtpaw]

I want V-neck please. It's more chic and suits my body type anyway.

As for the brown vs black question. I voted brown but dayam black looks good too!

Does it have to be one or the other? Lets have both! yea!!!

I'll have one of each thx :D

[Jenda]

I'm sorry, but it seems I can't do both, unless I do 200 pieces. How about I do black first, and if it all sells out within two months, do brown?

[Jenda]

Oh, and I'd aim at having both v-neck and round neck available. The v-necks are higher quality shirts, too.

[ekuliak]

What's so wrong with v-necks?
I have a hairy chest. ^_^

That, and I prefer round neck shirts :cool:

[x64Jimbo]

What's so wrong with v-necks?
Nothing, providing that you have figured out how to travel through time, and consequently spend most of your time in the 1970's.

[Jenda]

x64Jimbo, I don't think your sense of fashion is valid throughout the world :) V-neck looks more chic to me... but if we get BLACK, there's no problem in getting both types.

[ekuliak]

But some of us aren't chics. (That was a lame attempt at humor... I appologize. :-D )

Well then,:-k, I say that's one more reason to go with Black (at least this time around).

[Polygon]

i prefer brown on beige, but since the choices are limited for that t shirt color, i voted white on black.

[Jenda]

That's more my type of thinking ツ

[x64Jimbo]

If I want to look chic, I'll wear slacks and a button-up. T-shirts are for casual time, IMHO.

[chaosgeisterchen]

The brown/beige mixture is so awesome. It relly reflects what Ubuntu is all about, concerning colors. I do very much like it so I would be happy if it would win the poll and therefore be offered as soon as possible.

Regardless of which of those will be voted for being sold, I am grateful towards the organisator of this whole movement. You have my utmost truly thanks, spread Ubuntu over the world!

[Jenda]

ツ
I'll do my best to find a decent offer of brown or beige shirts.

[Gargamella]

brown is awesome

[Brunellus]

brown. black t-shirts are uncomfortable.

[xopher]

brown. black t-shirts are uncomfortable.

What makes a black t-shirt uncomfortable? :D Is the material somehow inferior to the brown one? ;)

Anyway, I really hope this will work out nicely, and I hope you're shipping to Finland :)

they absorb more radiative heat than they reflect, and so wearing a black shirt in the sunshine isn't much fun (for me).

[matthew]

brown. black t-shirts are uncomfortable.LOL. I have at least 6 black t-shirts. I always thought it was because I must have a morbid subconscious fascination with death. Either that or it's just very slimming and I need the help.

[hotbrainz]

Black is the best...goes with anything, any mood..suits thin and not so thin ppl alike. Radiation is least of worries in Uk ( LOL)

[Brunellus]

Add this to my "reasons why Brunellus isn't a real geek" then. I only have a handful of black shirts--two? three?--and don't wear them much. Grey, yes, but not black.

[kuja]

Wait, you mean shirts come in a color other than black? :-s

[xopher]

Maybe not in the sun no. :) From my point of view - black would keep me warmer in the 'hot' summer day(s) we get here in Finland ;)

Anyway, Im still in favor of the brown one!

[Jenda]

I'm looking around for brown t-shirts...

[Jenda]

Oh, and BTW - what do you think about quality/price? Should I go for lower end shirts, or stuff that you'll actually want to wear? :)

[matthew]

Oh, and BTW - what do you think about quality/price? Should I go for lower end shirts, or stuff that you'll actually want to wear? :)I would prefer higher quality.

[A2Bacon]

Are we going to be able to buy both the brown and the black shirts?
So, Canonical's trademark is we can only use monochrome logos of Ubuntu for goods? I've seen other shirts for sell with the full color logo..?
What about some Kubuntu shirts? You know more people would want to wear those.. :p

[RAV TUX]

I would prefer a army-like green :)

[Jenda]

A2, I've never made these shirts. However, Julius Bloch of Ubuntu Germany has some nice navy blue ones.
Canonical's trademark _tolerates_ monochrome. Full color is better.
There isn't enough demand for Kubuntu just yet ;)

[diskotek]

brownish seem cute...

[A2Bacon]

Why didn't you make them?
I think you should try to get this shirt project going again, especially with the ever growing amount of new users.
You know people are going to want a Ubuntu shirt to go with their new Dubuntu computer...

[Jenda]

I didn't make them because I didn't want to compete with the german team making shirts.
If they won't keep up with the demand, I'll get back into it later ;)

[A2Bacon]

It's not competing, it's diversifying from having just a navy blue Ubuntu shirt.. :)

[Jenda]

well, we'll see what happens ;) I can't do them right now, but might see to them over the summer.

[OrangeCrate]

Brown preferably, since it'll blend with the dark orange of my Fat Boy. Wearing that T will blow people's minds.

[macogw]

White.

But black is okay to. (voted black)

There's already white ones on the cafepress store.
