Poll Of The Week #8 - Would You Buy SWF Gear?

[Bibbed]

It'd have to be a pretty good shirt. Maybe a funny saying or something. The less lame looking the better (i.e. pokemon = no).

 

[Kokichi]

Hmm, Toomin, do you think we'd have to change the logo though, since it has the SSB logo in it? I don't think they could pin us for using a giant hand (you can't really copyright a 3D hand, can you?), but for the logo...I dunno. Though, I kind of like having it in there, because that way if you meet someone who doesn't know about SWF (but if that's the case, why would you even want to talk to that n00b?) but knows about SSB / SSBM, he can relate.

 

[F8X]

a Tshirt would be good, maybe a cap and benie as well, even If it had just a ssb logo, just don't overdo it

pokemon own you. dummy.


and this about this "themed but not using anything real" merchandise... it may not be such a bad idea. something like: SHINESPIKE!!!1! (with the one included) and other things such as "i will 4/5/6/7/123 stock you.

sorta reminds me of the MLG shirts that say "no johns" and "owned".

 

[Legomaxx]

I would love to buy SWF Gear but it all depends on the items available. I am all for that shinespiked shirt though

 

[Dio_Setera]

I'd like some neat shirts, like a "No Johns's" shirt or something similair. Or "Keep it real with the low tier." I've been saying that a bunch lately. Kirby is my main.

But yeah, I'd need to see some stuff/ideas first.

The easiest way to find out is simply to ask. We'd have to ask anyway.

And I do enjoy the "Shinespiked!" one. Perhaps without the obligatory leet "1" attached at the end. Perhaps inside an ambiguous blue hexagon. Not Fox's shine, but you still know what it is. Something like this:

I would buy that shirt.

 

[Kokichi]

What about "4 STOCK'D!" (homage to Homestar Runner with the 'D thing...at least, I think that's where it originated from...)

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

How about one that says:

Short
Hopped
Fast
Falled
L-Cancelled

 

[Kokichi]

What was the origin of "No John's", btw?

 

[ZMan]

How about a T-shirt that says: Wavedashing is hot!

 

[Ismael]

I would like to see the things first. Maybe I would get something, maybe.

 

[Mic_128]

A shirt. On one side "Wha wha wha wha wha" And the other "The sound of the Wavedash"

 

[Skylink]

A shirt. On one side "Wha wha wha wha wha" And the other "The sound of the Wavedash"

What?

I'd buy a shirt that has my banner in my sig on the shirt.

but it's not friggin going in my friggin sig!!!

 

[Mic_128]

Sky, try wavedashing with Mario (either one) Luigi, Marth, ect.

 

[Viking Ness]

If they're tasteful, then probably

 

[WaterTails]

yeah, I'd probably get one. Also, there was a GameFAQS v. Smashboards thing?

 

[McFox]

Gamefaqs vs. SWF? Not that I know about.

 

[Digamma]

Gamefaqs vs. SWF? Not that I know about.

I'm confused as well, that implies competition.

-snap

 

[Handorin]

How about a T-shirt that says: Wavedashing is hot!

I would definetly buy one with that

but all the Tshirts have smashforums.com on it

 

[Kokichi]

"Items On? N00b!"

 

[Scav]

What was the origin of "No John's", btw?

I know this one!

"No Johns" was coined by Texas' own, Crystal City. When we first played them they were saying all sorts of crazy stuff, like "Lalo," "That's a like," "Downhits!", and, of course, "No Johns."

It comes from their friend -- named John -- who would always give an excuse why he lost. For instance, "My controller isn't working right." We all know somebody like that

I don't know how they did it, but somehow when Crystal City went to one of the TGs, Mattdeezie and the rest of the nation fell in love with "No Johns."

 

[SPAWN]

Yes at a reasonable price.

 

[Skywalker]

Definitely. I'd be doing for supporting SmashBoards, but still . . . having a tee-shirt making fun of McFox's lame web browser would be great!

 

[Hyrule2]

For me, it would depend on what I was intending to buy.

 

[highandmightyjoe]

Are you actually going to decide weither or not to do this based on the results of the poll, or is this just a poll for fun to see what people think? I would probably buy one if they weren't too expencive. I would definately buy them if I could get a custom shirt type thing. Like the logo on the front and the player's name on the back.

 

[Razgriz]

I jump at any Melee-related merchandise.

 

[Peeze]

Yea, but i have to see it first.

 

[7734]

I'd sport that shiznit!

 

[TakDragon7]

I would buy some if it was really good and all.

 

[pdk]

i would pay to see what happens to people wearing it at evo2k

 

[HideousBeing]

There must be a pretty mad John out there, lol. To have a derogatory term like that named for you... actually, maybe he's pretty thrilled, lol.

In response to this thread, I thought it would be cool if SWF sold some kind of badge, for smashers to wear (like on their chest) that disignates them as a smash player. That way, if you went to like, a fair, and you're wearing yours, and you see some other guy wearing his, you could get to meet him and talk about a game you're both familiar with. You wouldn't have to worry about washing it like you would a clothing article, and you could put it on any shirt you wear. It would be a nice way to run into players, because otherwise, you could walk by a great player and have no clue. SWF could also sell patches, that you sew onto your backpack for the student, and bumper stickers for the driver. What'd'ya think? Would you buy one?

 

[Spacecadet]

This would be excellent if employed. The badge seems kinda..I don't know how to really say this...unnecessary, but a shirt, or bag, or hat of some sort would be really sweet. A shirt with "SHL FTW" (where did I see that?) or like a play on song lyrics and such using smash terms... like "Shine on you crazy Shiner"

 

[HeltXL]

An awesome logo for a SWF shirt would be:

Wavedash FTW

Then maybe www.smashboards.com on the back?

 

[OmegaXXII]

The only smash merchandise that i would buy is if the made some customizable "Air Force One's"(shoes) out of them that I could wear them when I go to tournament events

 

[halfDemon]

"Uh-roo?"
"SHFFLAFA"
"WoP"
"Gayserz"
"The Mindgames"
"Nipplespike!"
"Wobble"

 

[Seison]

Yeah I'd totally wear a SWF t-shirt to every tourney I attended. It'd be a good way to break the ice even with some players, just by wearing the shirt.

 

[Che_Lab]

I would only buy a shirt, nothing else...

 

[ecstatic]

I'd buy a T-shirt, and maybe a hat if they are cheap enough.
