Hi everyone, Bob and I have begun working on quarterly rewards for backers. The stickers and poster tier are pretty well set already, but we could use some feedback on our shirts (which will go out to T-shirt tier backers and also be available for sale on Fangamer at a later date). I've picked some of my favorite episode covers from last season as candidates for the first shirt design, and I need YOUR help picking them. Which of these eight images do you think we should rework into a T-shirt design? (They'll likely be redrawn and definitely won't include the episode number.) Please reply below — thanks! — Jeremy

I wasn't sure how many you'd like us to pick, but I would say (in preferred order): 1, 4, 2

1, 4 and 7 I'd go for in a heartbeat. <3

1 and 5 I'd say. Most iconic without using common t shirt fodder.

For me: 6, 5 and 4 in order of preference.

It saddens me slightly that there will be no direct follow up to the super rad skateboarding t-rex shirt design, but given the options I'd say my favorites in order are 1, 8, 4.

8 is super great!

Of those, I'd prefer #8, although I'd prefer that the t-shirt designs not be based on characters or products that're discussed during the podcasts. I like the two previous Retronauts t-shirts because they were original and weird (especially the lizard with the skateboard). I'd prefer that the end t-shirt designs not hinge on some sort of popularity contest, because I'll inevitably just end up with a bunch of Nintendo characters and products on my t-shirts (which I don't want).

I'd pick (in order) 5, 4, 8. My son totally would go for 8!

In preferred order: 5, 4, 1, 6. Definitely my favourites.

6! So much 6!

Aaron

I think numbers 1, 4, and 5 have the retro feel nailed down. Perfect without being too specific. Number 6 is stylish, and I think it's terrific for referencing the podcast's modern listenership. if that makes sense.

Andrew Kehoe

4 and 7. 6 is a distant third.

5 or 8, but 3 definitely has charm too.

I'll go with number 5.

8 is my first choice. 2 is my second choice.

Mark Paterson

I like 1, 4 and 7. The Powerglove one being my favourite as only the true battle-scarred 8-bit warrior would understand the reference.

5 is my favorite of the batch

Marcus

I prefer the simpler designs #1 and #4

1. I prefer my t-shirts to be a little more abstract, and I think that you could make the shirt really pop by printing the horizontal colored stripes across it, and varying their length to make it asymmetrical and interesting.

#6 is OK, but the fluorescent green could be a bit much

1,2 and 5, I'm a little disappointed that you guys didn't use the Famicom cover from volume 3 nor the Wario one.

8 cracks me up and I love it, however #1 best captures the spirit of the thing. Crew jacket yeah?!

Anonymous

number one I think, the one with the Intellivision guy.

I would, without question, purchase #4,6 and 7. They are all fantastic designs

I really like 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Chris

From a design perspective 1 is probably the best, but there's something about the absurdity of 8 that I really love.

Anonymous

I'd go for #1 and #8, as far as shirts I'd want to wear.

I would have preferred something a bit more Sega.

My favorite is 5

5 is the one I really love.

Lutz Ohl

My top three would be: 1, 5 & 8

Anonymous

I would say 6, as it has the gaming and audio theme to it.

Anonymous

I'd say 5 is my favorite, followed by 6 or 8.

etc etc

#2 is definitely my favorite.

Ben Hamilton

1 is the best, 4 is second.

Aaron Schafer

1, 2, 4, and 8 are all really cool. If I could only pick one, it would probably be number four. That design is just so bad.

Anonymous

1, 4, and 5 would make for great prints.

Thanks for all the feedback! Don't worry, not all our T-shirts will be based on older artwork. But we had a lot of requests last year to make various cover images from season three into shirts, so this is our chance to give everyone what they want.

I like 5, 4, and 1 the best.

Yes, please use the famicom cover, it's my favorite from that season.

5 is my favorite but 8 and 2 are great too.

6, 4, and 1 - in that order

James Eldred

Six would be a stellar shirt. And I'm totally not just saying that because I was the guest on that episode.

#5 is my favorite.

Anonymous

Numbers 1, 4, 5 and 3. I enjoy the retro feel of 1,4 and 5 and I'm just a huge Baldur's Gate fan, so 3 is also a must.

1 is my choice.

In this order: 2, 1, 7

3 and 5 - both good work- and not exactly what people think when they think gamer shirt. 3 possibly too much- but fixable.

retronauts

And it looks like the 5s have it!

Whoop! Good. Provided the P&P is reasonable, shall buy one if you go through with printing them. :-)

Bit late to the party but I like 5 and 8. Damn I wish I noticed this mail sooner. Have the shirts been printed I wonder?
