Consumerist T-Shirt Nears Production
Here's a sneak preview of what the new Consumerist t-shirts will look like. The gear will be available for purchase at the Gawker Shop within a few weeks or so. Twenty bucks.
This izzit is pretty locked and loaded, so apologies that we won't be able to take any more of your feedback into consideration.
Big ups to Consumerist reader Matthew Smith for the design!

Yeah I don't really get it either. It sort of reads like "Look at me! I'm a tool! WTF does my tshirt say?! OMFG !!!111 LOL11!!1 I don't know either"
I think I'd buy it if it said in big fat white letters "CONSUMER" on the front in the top secret FBI font, and then on the back in smaller type "Don't $#%! With Me."
Here's what I mean: http://tinyurl.com/yy842w
and also I couldn't resist: http://tinyurl.com/y6atld (this one's even better IMO)
The shirt MUST say Consumerist.com on it...in BIG giganto letters...
What good is wearing a T-shirt to show them where you've been and where you go, if it doesn't say it?
I mean, how am I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of car salesmen, Comcast techs, Best Buy workers and other CSR's with that thing?
I'm with Max Andrews on this one...I'd prefer,
"Consumerist.com poster, don't #@&* with me!" at least on the back of the shirt, if not the front...








Frankly, the whole "Mystery Shopper" confuses me as an indirect tie in to The Consumerist website.
If you replaced the "Mystery Shopper" phrase with "consumerist.com" and shrunk the logo to the right chest, you might have had something I'd buy.
But as it is...It's a big, fugly arrangement that's more likely to get people mistakenly pegged as Subgenii than Consumerists.
Good luck with it, though.
