Dream-Crushing, Soul-Devouring Juggernaut Shirts

If PSP, the campus store, etc., are going to be making a profit off these I would hope that they either a) sell them to the eLynah community at cost, or at a big discount, or b) compensate Munchkin, Hockeychick, etc., for the time and effort they put in.

I realize that those of you who put in the effort were almost certainly doing so out of the goodness of your hearts, for the benefit of the eLynah community. But if the eLynah community is not going to benefit (in the form of reduced pricing) then you (the people who put in the effort) should.

Does that make sense?

It does make sense.  I'd rather see all of you get a discount so I'll ask if something can be worked out, like a special link posted on eLynah that gets reduced pricing relative to the campus store.  And you're right, this was done entirely out of love for Cornell and the hockey program.

We have a shirt design!

[hugel]

that looks excellent

[Scersk '97]

I'm buying, and I don't normally.

[Towerroad]

Excellent!

Great work.

[HeafDog]

We have a shirt design!

This latest design looks pretty nice, actually. Don't know if the issue is still open for feedback, but, not to take anything away from Brian (and he did himself say that it would be okay for the attribution to be small), but I would make the attribution line smaller.

To answer some of the questions: you do not have to be in Ithaca.  Case in point: I'm in Boston, and Hockeychick470 is in Virgina.  Once I figure out numbers, shirt costs, etc, and set up the paypal stuff, I'll let you know shipping costs.  It'll probably be $4.95 with the USPS flat rate small box, only one shirt would fit in each of those boxes (I think).  I'll also figure out if the soft envelopes are cheaper since shirts don't weight very much.  This means if you're a Big Red supporter in California, you can get people know that Cornell hockey crushes dreams and devours souls.

The shirts will be red.  If we're going to wear these to games, they're going to be red, and I have tons of gray and white shirts from other stuff.

The word Evil is not part of the quote, but I'm in favor of scrapping the C once ajh258 finishes it and putting beware on top of the bear head with the rest of the phrase under it.  I'll play with designs once the bear head is done.  

That's all for now.

Awesome, thank you!  This is beyond awesome!

FWIW, I care very much who originally said what and to that end would like to keep things closer to the original by nixing the "beware" and going with

"...the dream-crushers,



...the soul-devouring juggernauts
of the league." -Brian Sullivan, USCHO

I agree with this, personally, but if the design is finalized then it's still awesome the way it is.

So PSP has no control over the pricing, they were brought into partnership with the Cornell store so that quick printing, and up to the minute designs could be produced and gotten to the store very quickly.

To answer Andy's other question: Hockeychick470 and I, along with Brian, will receive any gear that gets printed with the design as compensation.  For me, that's all I want since I would have purchased it anyway had we done a smaller eLynah only order.  I know the university will benefit from it, and as a recipient of a huge amount of financial aid that's ok since I'll never be able to repay Cornell for what it gave me.

Now the important question...Can I get one in XXXL?

[judy]

I hope the store can also redirect some of that money they're making off of this to the hockey team...

That's great.  I like the huggy bear, but it's a shame that it's not more of a unifying shirt for those of us on here every day (at work) in our off hours...
