I've made the shirts and a printed poster available at this link:

You can customize your shirt pretty much any way you want - style, color, size, etc. You don't even have to get a t-shirt - you can choose anything from a hooded sweatshirt to baby clothes.

I've used two places. The first one didn't thrill me, but Cafe Press had great quality, so far as you can get with a T-shirt.

I'll definately order one if you can get it on a t-shirt. And I'll definately put a link to it in the FFF.NET Marketplace.

Tiger, can you possibly add something to the poster now, as in "Only in Theaters, 4/22/05" or somesuch?

That would be shiny. Maybe put "Only in Theaters, 4/22/05" on the back of the T.

I was so excited when I saw it that I ordered one right away. Cool! Thanks for making it possible.

I decided not to include a release date because the odds of it changing are so high. Even the official Universal stuff only says "Spring 2005". I suppose I could put that on the back of the shirt. Let me see if I can change it or add a new product.

While I'm checking into that, why don't you guys let me know what you'd like to see on the shirt as far as a date goes, and if there's a tremendous response for one thing in particular, I'll do that.

Thanks!

Ok, so I looked into putting the release date on the shirt. The good news is you can add it yourself. Click on "customize" above and to the right of the picture, and you can add anything you want to the blank side (front or back). Here's what mine looks like -

How about having a version where the poster is in the back and then on the front, where the pocket is, you have the Serenity patch? Just a thought.

I ordered mine too...had the "In Theatres Spring 2005" put on the back...this is gonna be cool! Did any one get a different color besides white? I thought about getting the ivory one, but was worried about the color being too dark, without seeing the shirt in person first. If anyone gets one, tell me how it looks, cause I've got an idea for a Firefly shirt, but it really, really needs an "antique" look, and the ivory would be great.

Great design, as I said before.

Query: Someone upthread ordered one with full poster on front and "In theatres in Spring 2005" on the back. But now that's gone. Or is it? I'm confused. I'd like to order this one. I've already ordered another design (Serenity logo on front, poster on back).

Thanks very much, Tiger.

The text is something you can add yourself by clicking on the "Customize" button. You can add whatever text or images you want to either side of the shirt. Basically, you can just add some text, or create the entire shirt from scratch.

I created two shirts, one with the front blank, and one with the back blank, so people can add whatever they want.

Yup, I finally figured it out, thanks to your tips. :-)

Ordered two, but, my, the cost adds up when you're paying $9 US in shipping and converting the whole thing into Cdn dollars. My shirts are going to be
$35 and $40 Cdn. That's approaching the cost of a designer t-shirt here in Toronto.

But. I. Must. Have.

I see that Tiger took your advise Haken. That t-shirt rocks. I ordered one. Hopefully it will be here in time for Dragon Con.

How long does shipping generally take once an order has been placed Tiger?

I can only go by what zazzle says on their site. They say the products ship within 24 hours of the order being placed (for most items), then 3-5 days for delivery.

We can know for sure, if browncoats who've ordered will report back here.

Unfortunately, the link posted above no longer seems to work. Any clues/thoughts as to getting it fixed? I was gonna buy a shirt.

Any idea when/if the poster will be avaliable for purchase? It NEEDS to be framed and put on my wall.
