Is There An Official Piipes Magazine Shirt?

[sablebrush52]

In another thread, a member brought up the topic of a Pipes Magazine shirt for purchase. Does Pipes Magazine have a shirt for purchase and/or other swag? If not, would the PTB be interested in having a contest to design such an item?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I'd love to compete for a design. I'm not a Tshirt guy, but a coffee mug would be awesome. I get a lot of comments and questions on my Savinelli mug.

 

[dread]

I'd go for a coffee mug as well.

I'd probably buy all kids of stuff! T-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, calendars, hats..... You Name It!

Think about it Kevin....$$$$$!!!!!

You could be like the Duck Dynasty of the pipe world!

I'd love a polo shirt with an embroidered pipe and PipesMag logo
something along these lines, perhaps ...

 

[sfsteves]

or, a tee ...

Now THIS is a pipe smoker's hat !!
Although I suppose this is actually the Island of Misfit Toys version ...

I'd love a coffee mug, preferably pint-size as I hate to get up to brew more when I'm lazily enjoying my pipe!!

T-shirt, coffee mug, both would be fine. I like the idea of being able to show support for this site.

These have been verrry popular

These pipe tote bags have been a big item too! (Very practical.)

I've also got a huge inventory of bobblehead Kevin dolls in production

-- it's just a matter of avoiding his lawyers long enough to start marketing them at the shows.

I am all for a ball cap or two, after all, one can never have to many ball caps!

A nice big ceramic 16 oz. mug would suit me just fine. I could be sipping from one right now if they were available...

I am wondering if we could have a contest on the content of the mug, shirt, cap, etc. Kevin or some other group (if they have the time for it)could vote on a winner, and then we could probably just send the "creative" to one of the myriad of online print houses. I believe some of them don't make you print a certain quantity, but don't hold me to that.
I know that there are dozens of artistic-types on this site that know more about this than I do.
Just my .02

Well, we can make our own PM logos and then each can use Cafepress.com to buy our own shirts and mugs... Kevin would only have a win/win situation on his hands. We would each buy our own, and he would get free advertising by our sporting PM logos out amongst the gentiles.
I can't imagine a single negative with that. Unless he doesn't trust our judgement in deciding on the design.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

We wouldn't be asking PM to dig anything out of pocket.
And, if we are kept busy, we wouldn't be setting around going, "Oh my, I wonder what Rhoth is doing?" or dragging Peterson's lousy QC through the mud :wink:

 

[pylorns]

Yeah I seem to remember the last time this was brought up Kevin said, nope and don't go making your own with pipes magazine mentioned either because it was his brand.

[cosmicfolklore]

LOL

 

[voorhees]

here you go sam...

I don't think it would be a good idea to use any images from the forum at Cafe Press or similar. They are owned by Kevin and I'm certain they would be protected.
