User>Driven

Well, I went and did it. I created a User-Driven T-shirt at Zazzle, one of a number of design-your-own-clothing sites. I designed a simple brown T with yellow lettering to match the color scheme of the site, ordered one for myself, and then offered the shirts up for sale on Zazzle. Anyone can order one and I will make a small royalty on it (10% of what you pay).

I haven't held the actual product in in my hands yet to tell you whether the yellow and brown look good together, but you can customize the color, style, size, etc on zazzle to your liking. You can even order a hoodie, henley or polo. Just be sure to change the text color to something darker if you choose a light-colored background.

I created a hoodie with the word "vintage" on it as well (in good old courier) in honor of how ancient I have become. Nothing fancy but it has a simplicity to it that appeals to me. Check that item out as well at the gallery of the merchandise I've created. I've added a link to the gallery on the right after the "about" paragraph.

Zazzle has a flash widget that shows the products in your gallery in rotation. I tried to put it up here but it's too wide and doesn't take kindly to being squashed or cropped.
