I don't know if it would boost VideoSift's revenue stream or not, or if it's an effective form of advertisement, or if there are enough interested members who would buy one. That's why I'm asking. Here's an idea I had for one:
I'm not saying it's great; it's just an idea. I figured a few famous thumbnail images might help to convey that we're a site with famous videos. The only thumbnail on that t-shirt that could cause problems is the one of Yahtzee, because I'm guessing it's trademarked. The others I'm pretty sure aren't. If any of you can think of better thumbnails to include then please suggest them, or if you have a completely different concept for a shirt design then please suggest those too. I don't know how all the colors in my design would come out on a silk screen, so maybe mine wouldn't work anyway.
Or we could go with this:
Talk among yourselves.

but it's a *quality idea, I'll give you that.
The prairie dog image originated from a television show - not sure if there would a problem with the creators even though it went viral later.
Maybe a (white and black) tshirt design with the VideoSift logo amidst a colourful channelcloud (cf. tagcloud but then based on our top 87, would also be a nice site feature btw!) inside the screen space of a blown up standard videoplayer?
Wait I photoshop it. Tshirt should be black and many more channels (less bright and a little smaller) should be placed all around the central logo.
(edit: D'oh.. sorry, kp.
Expect some big news around the same time we launch VS 4.0 (which is to say, soonish)

Because personally I would never wear a shirt that makes me a blatant walking advertisement, especially if it insists on having both the title and even a website on it, but if it's something more subtle I'd be up for it. I mean and it'd still work for publicity, people'd be like "oh what's that logo about?" and then you could tell them about VS.
holy shit, I'm so buying the jesus shirt.
I found that one offensive as a Christian.
Stick to generic motifs that help relay a "Brand" mentality while still trying to be clever.

Why do you find Christians so offensive?
