Dream-Crushing, Soul-Devouring Juggernaut Shirts

DL
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,

<BEAR>

...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.

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?

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?

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...

Looks great!! Can it be made into a cheer now?

munchkin

There is now an order form in the top message as well. Fill it out, and I'll let you know how much you owe once that is determined.

Am I missing something? I don't see the order form.

The finalized design looks great. Thank you to everyone who made it happen, and so quickly!

Read further down, PSP took over printing and distribution through the Cornell store. This means easy ordering and no one (Jim Hyla because he graciously offered) fronting the money for a small order. As I stated earlier, these will be in production tomorrow.

So, I think that 2 pages on eLynah with 108 posts in a little over 12 hours, speaks to great we feel about this. Congratulations. I'm actually happy that the U picked this up and that it might go far and wide. Feel very good about what you've done.

By the way, I'd guess you no longer need my credit card.Yes, I see the above post now.

I did a Google search for "soul devouring."
In the Top Ten was, you guessed it ... this very thread on the Forum.
Right up there with Warcraft.

Will PSP be selling these from their store also?

Nope, these will be sold through the Cornell store and the Cornell store's website. When they send out the e-mail blast about the new basketball merchandise, according to Jeff, this will be included. The entire approval process took less than 2.5 hours for the administration to sign on with it.

Excellent! Thanks again Hockeychick, munchkin and everyone else. The final design looks fantastic.

This involves money coming IN. I'm surprised it took as long as it did.

OK, suppose I'm going to be in Albany on Friday but coming from Philadelphia...

As of 4:30 Monday, the shirts aren't available on the Store website. How do I get the shirts ordered and delivered to (either Phila or Albany) so that they can be worn Friday evening?

Note also that store says they are closing for inventory on Wednesday and won't process orders after 4:00 Tuesday. Nice timing, since there are two huge sporting events later in the week. Sigh.

If anyone has a connection with the Store, I'd just like to know how to finesse the timing.

Thanks,

Karl

Kinda off topic. But the leaning bear is so much more soul-devouring than the Huggy bear.

I actually really like Popeye Bear and Demon Bear even more than Smug Bear. Needless to say, they are all better than Huggy Bear.

A store representative should put about 500 of them in the trunk of a car and bring them to Albany. There will never be a better marketplace.

Only NC$$ licensed merchandise sold at NC$$ events. The only way they might get around it is to do it at some external location or to give them away like Quinny did a few years back.

I'd just like to throw my two cents in once again (I work in a nursing home and don't have good computer access all day so this is the first chance I've had to read through the posts since last night, although I've kept in touch with Munchkin all day about the design/progress)

1) anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE the bear hanging out of the C logo.... so that just goes to make me all the more obsessed with the shirt...

2) thanks for all the support/suggestions from you guys through this process... if it weren't for the interest here, i'm fairly confident the shirts wouldn't be as widely available as they are and thats AWESOME!!!!

3) I'd like to reiterate Munchkin's thanks to Jim for the offer to put up his card... as two poor recent grads, we couldn't have and having that offer would have simplified things GREATLY.

4) LETS GO RED!!!

5) I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THESE SHIRTS!!!!!!!!!

6) as far as the compenstaion goes... I'm thrilled to be getting a free shirt (or whatever ends up being printed), and hoestly love of Cornell/Hockey would have done it, although being able to tell all my friends to go to the campus store and buy the shirt Munchkin and I designed is kinda cool...

Speaking of all these bears, does the University even use the leaning bear as a symbol any more?

Yes we will be able to get stuff free to him. Jeff will send to him directly, but even if he didn't I live less than 15 minutes walking from him. He and I are friends and see each other on a fairly regular basis.

Great job guys! I actually like this logo the best, but I didn't know you would end up getting access to it. It is amazing how this took off.

Don't log on for 24 hours and look what I miss. I will definitely be getting one of these!

Are they up on the Cornell Store website yet? Is there a link posted anywhere?

Brian Sullivan
Is it a quote? I'm not about to make this a legal matter of course - I am, as they say, just honored to be here - but the phrase was undeniably my creation. For the record, USCHO does pay me. Not much, of course, but I am compensated for my work ... and yes, my paycheck is worth more than a t-shirt. It would cover at least two, I think.

For whatever it may ultimately be worth, I'd prefer/request some sort of attribution to the phrase, whether it be myself or USCHO. I don't care if it's in 0.2-size font that flakes off at the first sign of humidity; it's a matter of principle and it's about what's right.

I would argue that without the attribution to Brian or USCHO, the phrase doesn't have as much umph. It is the very fact that a non-Cornell reporter penned this phrase that is exciting. If the Cornell Athletic Department or some fans came up with it then we would likely think that it was kind of embarrassing. You can't pat yourself on the back.

Anyway, the point appears to be moot since we all agree.

As soon as they're up in the Cornell store I will make sure the whole world knows as will Hockeychick. This is our legacy for Cornell hockey (thus far, but we're only 22 and 23). They're going into production Tuesday morning.

Exactly - like the Vladivostok quote.

I'm interested in the shirt as well. Please let me know when/where to order. Thanks, very cool.

Ladies and Gents, this is the e-mail that I got from Jeff at PSP this morning:

The Store people have kept eyes on elynah and aware of interest. They pulled in a web guy yesterday for ECAC champs and Sweet Sixteen stuff online on his day off and he already gone by time we had wrapped this project.

I don't have exact time...will let you know as soon as I do....when shirts will be available to buy. Most likely in couple hours.

We are busting it out on press as soon as product comes in on UPS. Lightning fast turn.

Store would like to accomodate shipping as many orders out today as they can even with the hundreds of ready placed orders for Sweet 16 (arrivng shortly) & ECAC stuff I dropped off at 8 am today. First placed first shipped.

Thank you munchkin and team - your efforts are very much appreciated.
I too will buy 4 shirts at least - make great gifts!
Just point us where to go to Order when it's available and the rush will be on -

Not in the physical store yet. I was told it will be a couple of hours and to check back.

Very nice. There's also a Sweet 16 bracket shirt for hoops and an ECAC title shirt in already. Very fast work!

Not even 36 hours from starting the discussion to having a product available for ordering from the Cornell Store - incredible work!

Any chance we could crowd-source (ugh, I hate that term but it seems to have caught on) some demand for more fitted caps? I love the Zephyr hat I bought a few years ago but I don't think it's going to last forever.

Fantastic, just fantastic! I've got an agent picking up a couple for me right now. I am so impressed with how quickly this came together - we're going to have the shirts for the regionals, and that's just INSANE!

Great job, you know who you are.

So I just noticed that our shirt is on the front page of the store's website!

these look great ... one favor to anyone who already has one: can you check the shirt material tag for cotton content and whether they are preshrunk? true to size etc ...

i'm always end up between a medium and large and I want to make sure to order the correct size.

When I ordered I had a wrong expiration month, they called me at mid-afternoon and when I gave them my number, they said the truck was there right then and taking all AM orders. You can hope.

Well that settles it, then. Cornell has to win this weekend, for the sake of munchkin's (et al) efforts.

Just ordered 2 Juggernaut t-shirts (one for my FF buddy Kim and one for me) and a ECAC championship sweatshirt! I have been thinking about getting another sweatshirt, glad I waited so I could have "Champions" on it .

I also told my former Cornell hockey buddy about the shirt, and he went to the campus store and bought one today.

A week ago, a college hockey writer called the Cornell men's hockey team "dream-crushers" and "soul-devouring juggernauts."

Later this week, thanks to a rush printing by Ithaca company PSP Unlimited, fans of the team can wear the quote by Brian Sullivan from uscho.com on a T-shirt to the NCAA tournament.

Jeff Frey, lead sales director at PSP Unlimited, said Tuesday, "(Last weekend) we were already talking about T-shirts. We called yesterday and ... got approval to use a portion of the quote. That product has now been created. It's been put online, and it's going out our door in 10 minutes. Fans can wear them when they go to the game in Albany."
...

Perhaps this should be cross-posted on the JSID free food thread, but late on the story there is a list of ways that local merchants are celebrating/trying to cash in Cornell's success of the weekend.

Meanwhile, Ithaca businesses are celebrating the Cornell's men's basketball team's advancement to the Sweet 16 with discounts for students. "Revenge of the Nerds" discounts include:

* A free drink at Felicia's Atomic Lounge for anyone who can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than three minutes.

* Discounts at Maxie's Supper Club for students who bring their grades -- a 4.0 GPA will get 40 percent off, 3.0 will get 30 percent, and 2.0 will get 20 percent.

* Free dining for Nobel laureates during Sweet 16 week at The Boatyard Grill, half price for Pulitzer Prize winners; to claim discount, bring prize medallion.

* A free macchiato for card-bearing Mensa members at Gimme! Coffee.

* Half-price entrees at Max's Classic American Grill & Sports Bar for customers wearing nerdy Buddy Holly glasses.

* Sweet $16 and Great $8 room rates in anticipation of the next round at La Tourelle Resort & Spa and the Ithaca Downtown Holiday Inn for Cornell alumni and families of current students, limited to the first 16 customers March 25 and the first eight March 28.

I am guessing that where they put "..." was the meat of the quote. "We called yesterday and [some very intrepid Lynah Faithful did a lot of legwork, then we] got approval to use a portion of the quote."

A week ago, a college hockey writer called the Cornell men's hockey team "dream-crushers" and "soul-devouring juggernauts."

Later this week, thanks to a rush printing by Ithaca company PSP Unlimited, fans of the team can wear the quote by Brian Sullivan from uscho.com on a T-shirt to the NCAA tournament.

Jeff Frey, lead sales director at PSP Unlimited, said Tuesday, "(Last weekend) we were already talking about T-shirts. We called yesterday and ... got approval to use a portion of the quote. That product has now been created. It's been put online, and it's going out our door in 10 minutes. Fans can wear them when they go to the game in Albany."
...

Terrible, I can't believe no one got mentioned. It sounds like PSP is the hero.

Agreed. Jeff was thanking me excessively on the phone for eLynah folks doing all the design leg work so that all he had to do was order red shirts and print them.

But the people who really matter in terms of fandom know!

Also, I will name my children munchkin and hockeychick in your alls' honor.

It'd be ok if you gave them real (read as common) names and just used our handles as nicknames. Or you could just use our actual names, I'll share mine: Meli. I'll let Hockeychick reveal herself should she want to have a child named in her honor.

No, it's screennames as their real names or nothing!

If it works better, you can go with her full name, which is Melvin.

I have e-mailed the writer pointing out that she missed the most interesting angle of the story and referring her to this thread.

As did I, actually. It's the speed and the viral nature of the process that has me so fascinated!

Ditto, though in hindsight, maybe I should have picked a more popular name like Sophia.

And speaking of speed and viral nature... my shirts arrived THIS MORNING by UPS next day air. My wife says they look great. Our tickets are also being delivered today, so expect to see two of us wearing them in Section 120 on Friday and Saturday.

So apparently the lack of a shipping email is nothing to worry about.

I'm sure that list reshuffles every time a Nora Roberts novel comes out.

....ordered mine....LGR!!!!

Picked up six shirts at Statler store today! LGR!!!

Meanwhile, Ithaca businesses are celebrating the Cornell's men's basketball team's advancement to the Sweet 16 with discounts for students. "Revenge of the Nerds" discounts include:...
* Half-price entrees at Max's Classic American Grill & Sports Bar for customers wearing nerdy Buddy Holly glasses.

If Max's tried that in Williamsburg they'd be bankrupt before the end of the dinner rush.

It probably wasn't the weirdest thing they've ever seen at City Hall, but adding '82 on a name change application was probably a unique touch.
