AAm Shop Now Open!

[Ben]

The official Alizée America shop is finally open! Show your Franco-American pride with these shirts and other products!

http://cafepress.com/alizeeusa
(also linked to at the top of every page)

As always this is completely non-profit from our end, and is used to help cover things like the monthly server bill (though of course Cafe Press takes a cut).

Anyone who participated in the Birthday Fanart Contest (http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4843) is entitled to one free item from the shop. Send an email or PM with the details of what you want, along with your mailing address, and it will be on it's way! Or you can wait until Alizée's new logo is released, at which time we'll be updating our merchandise designs as well.

Big thanks to CFHollister, Ruroshen, and JimmyDean23 for working on the logo. You guys all get a free item too! ;)


Edit: The shop doesn't allow two variations of the same product, so I've added a poll to this thread. For the dark t-shirt, do you guys prefer the logo centered or over the pocket area?

[user472884]

cool!

Let me go find some change in the couch so I can get one.

Will there be more stuff/color choices in the future?

[Ben]

Will there be more stuff/color choices in the future?
Perhaps, though I'd like to keep things simple. Let me know if you have any specific requests or suggestions.

Edit: The Jr. Ringer and Dark Ts both have color options when you select them. For anyone sending me their info, be sure to include size and color choice!

[wasabi622]

Yessssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!

:D

hmm.. how about we add something to the back? there was that one circular logo thingy that came up earlier. i shall try to find it!



edit: found it!

Well this is a design that I just finished, I actually wanted this thread to start XD, when I joined this forum I thought to myself howcome this fan club didnt have a logo?? So I came up with this design,; I hope you guys like it and hopefully contribute to an official Alizee American Logo. I really liked the ideas brought up by all of us in getting an official design!
ENJOY!

Well this is nice but would have to be re-created digitally. To be honest, while I can add new products, I don't plan on using any more graphics before Alizée's next logo comes out. They take too long to test.

Depends how you print it, I've done many of Barrett's drawing printed just how they are and they turn out fantastic.

[Ben]

Depends how you print it
Yeah well it's half that (wouldn't be good with Cafe Press' method, so I'd have to switch shops), and half astehtic. I'd personally rather not use hand-drawn graphics. Others can print whatever they want, these are just the designs I've chosen to support the site with until the new logo arrives.

Again, please feel free to fire away with product and/or color suggestions everyone. But the logo's fixed for now. Thanks!

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

Yeah well it's half that (wouldn't be good with Cafe Press' method, so I'd have to switch shops)

Personally I would never use an internet print shop at all, especially one that doesn't say how it prints their product ('least I never saw anything on there). As always I'd only get them T-jetted too and if not done by a reputable silk screen shop. Embroidered shirts are rather nice too, but not so good for full colored designs like you have.

[Chuck]

Jung - you mean like child-labor issues? If so, I'm with you there. But for now, this is an excellent start. Wasabi, you're not the only one excited here. I'm awestruck. This is the shit. Furthermore, for Ben or anyone to make all those products at home, using a local shop - that'd take a lot of investment, and a lotta risk. I wouldn't wish that onto anyone.

Ben, kudos. You've broken through, and made our dreams a reality. JimmyDean and CFH and Ruro too. I'm eying the "military" color T, and maybe a couple of the bears. But I'm not ordering yet, because I don't want the things here yet. Real soon, but not for at least a couple weeks. How bout a Blue, White, and Red Christmas?

As for Alex's design - yes it should be reworked to something digital. First we should see how the "official logo" products sell, and how the internet printing company works out. But if that's all kosher and copacetic, then why not diversify?

But T-Shirts with Barrett's drawings on 'em? Where can we order those???

[FireCanine]

though I would have liked a black shirt with the logo on the middle not on the pocket side hmmm I ma choose a shirt

oh and I just got a great idea, how about making AA flags?

[Ben]

though I would have liked a black shirt with the logo on the middle not on the pocket side hmmm I ma choose a shirt
I thought it looked better on the pocket, but I can do that.

Is there much interest in a centered logo? I can add it to the shop if so, otherwise I'll just make one custom for FireCanine.

Will look into flags or other banners...

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

Jung - you mean like child-labor issues?

No, you just never know what they use to print the shirts until you get them and they tend to be of shitty quality. I'll take my local shop over any internet shop any day, and they'll cost about the same with a little less time actually (I don't own my own lol).

But T-Shirts with Barrett's drawings on 'em? Where can we order those???

There are a few designs that I did of his if you'd like to see them all just let me know

Yeah, this is one reason it's taken so long - testing the different sites and designs. Cafe Press' quality is nice, though even with them we had to tweek certain things, like not having two shades of yellow in the flame. It should all be good now though. :)

Edit: The shop doesn't allow two variations of the same product, so I've added a poll to this thread. For the dark t-shirt, do you guys prefer the logo centered or over the pocket area?

My only criticism of Cafepress is that they limit the image size you can place on them. I mean i've made 4000x3000 Reso designs, and Cafepress still won't let me go over their borders. :\

[user472884]

I think centered is better....

at least for my wardrobe.... 99.9% of the time I wear my jacket unzipped so with the centered logo I'd still be able to promote

Definitely bumper stickers. As I mentioned in another thread here (http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showthread.php?p=133664#post133664), I've seen proof that they can work at promoting a site.
Brian

[wasabi622]

Amen to bumper stickers!!!

[Fall]

I second that. Bumper stickers rock. :D

[TheBarrett]

Nice arms Brian. More muscly than mine. :p
(Although in the legs category I assume I might have you beat? :blink:)

[Ben]

Cool, thanks for the pic Brian! Nice Nikon, what model?

And ok, I just added a couple stickers to the site. Not traditional bumper-shape (that's too wide for our logo), but I think they should work. Let me know!

Still looking into banners or flags, that's a little more tricky.

Last, the poll here seems neck-and-neck. I may end up alternating between pocket and center designs for the dark shirt. Is anyone still waiting for the later before making a purchase?

[Fall]

I'm hoping we can have both somehow to please everybody, but I do prefer the center design, so I am waiting for that, and I think I'll get some stickers too while I'm at it. I guess majority rules if we can't have both, so when the results are in, I'll make the purchase.

[wasabi622]

i am waiting the arrival of my t-shirt before i vote! so my vote shall be registered in about a weekish??

[Fyrel]

Hmmm......think I'll wait for the official logo to decide. Looks good though!

It's a Nikon D90 (http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25446/D90.html). The great thing about it for me is that it supports the old lenses, which I have several from my old Nikon 4004 35mm film camera, in both manual and auto-focus modes.

but just letting you know, the french flag came out to be black, white, and red, and "Alizee America" is kinda blurred out.

but that's probably because i got the black one. :blink:

Love it though!!

Ouch :(
I think we could avoid this if we go for the centered design so that the logo and flags aren't messed because of their small size when printing :cool:

Hmm that's strange, mine was fine. Sorry, I'll take it off the shop for the time being, and send you another one once I know what's going on. I don't think it's a center vs. pocket issue though (at least not the flag, which is probably transparency), but I'll check both.

I'd assume you got a lemon so to speak, the shop should take it back and give you a new one. If the printing company don't take it back they are a pile of shit. Some colors do not work on certain colored shirts either.

Out of curiousness has anyone else gotten the black shirt and had it turn out the same? or did they turn out with the image as it should?

[Ben]

I placed wasabi's order so would have to deal with a return. Don't worry wasabi, I'll take this one on myself. For the record, only three other black shirts have gone out so far, and one had a centered logo, so the problem shouldn't be wide spread (plus I paid for two of 'em). Though yes, if anyone else has a problem please let me know! Just to be safe, I'm taking the dark shirt off the shop while a few samples are printed and sent to me.

[JimmyDean23]

I just got mine and I have the same problem. The blue on the flag is definitely transparent, you can tell by holding it up to the light and looking from the inside. There is a dark sheen on it but the tag said it would wash out so maybe it will look better after washing. I agree that it really needs to be centered and larger. I think the real problem is the shirt itself. American Apparel shirts are much softer and higher quality. Trust me on this one, switch to the dark fitted shirts. They're only $2 more but well worth it.

[lefty12357]

When I got my shirt it seemed fine. I ordered a maroon t-shirt. After reading the comments here I took a closer look at it. The color seems a bit lighter than what I would call maroon, and seems closer to just regular red. The blue in the French flag did pick up some of the red, thus making it look a little like dark purple. You'd think this would also make the yellow flame look orange, but it doesn't. The other colors are fine.

All in all, considering the price and the fact that it's a t-shirt, I'm quite satisfied with the one I got. In the case of my shirt, I doubt most people would even notice unless I pointed it out to them. It seems that we are getting some mixed results here, but it appears to mostly affect the blue printed areas.

[Ben]

Alright, thanks for the feedback. A few points:

-This only effects the black-background logo, which was only used for the dark shirt. All other merchandise, including the golf shirt (which was always my main idea for the shop) should be fine.

-I'd already switched to a larger, centered design for the dark shirt before removing it. But I'm waiting for a test of that, plus the American Apparel shirt (down side is it has less color options), before putting it back on sale.

-After the tests are done, I'll send new dark shirts to everyone who got one with the small pocket logo (only three were ever made). Or I can send a golf shirt now, just let me know.

[FireCanine]

I got my shirt today! It's great! but I have to agree with wasabi the ''Alizée America'' is really blurred out and looks like a white-out spill. Other than than I think it's awesome!

[wasabi622]

thanks ben. im proudly wearing the shirt now, but a better version would be awesome too! :D

[Sir Wood]

Just some food for thought, from my past experiences, that black (or any dark color t-shirt) is not ideal for multi-color prints and the size is also the issue with detailed logos. I believe you'd be better off with white or some lighter color offering.

The bear and polo should come out nicely. :)

[wasabi622]

Hey Ben, so I just noticed that now the only shirt left is the polo shirt with the logo on the side.

So what happened to the black t-shirt? I thought we were going to try to put the logos on the center?

[Ben]

As I mentioned, it's not a center vs. side issue, the logos come out looking the same either way. Testing continues...

[wasabi622]

As I mentioned, it's not a center vs. side issue, the logos come out looking the same either way. Testing continues...

Ok, gotcha.

I just wanted to buy another t-shirt, but there were none other than the polo. Just let me know when the testing is done! :D

The dark shirt is back in the store and looking better than ever! Anyone who got a dud and wants a new one, please contact me.

I don't mean like beanies or anything, but like baseball caps. I think that would be nice.

Baseball caps, sure. Or Berets! More Frenchy!

But more like these. Berets can be serious and badass too: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:TZ2XNbAGND5fkM:http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c252/NewsShooter/BeretChecklist.jpg, http://www.techshout.com/images/curtis-sliwa.jpg.

No, but seriously, I'm not serious here. Baseball caps are pretty universal. And you can wear them three ways: visor in front, visor in back, or visor jauntily off to one side! Okay, seriously, I never wear baseball caps either. Just havin' sum fun.

[wasabi622]

OR! If it's cheaper, maybe thing on a bandana? I wear bandanas during the summer when I have hair. :p

So yeah, Ben, if you make some decent head gear stuff, I'll check it out. :D

[user472884]

Since I moved to "rich white guy country" of golf country clubs and wine coolers... I've been going golfing every now and then and will continue doing so in the future. All the clubs require you to wear a polo shirt. So far, my little black one has sufficed... but I know what I'm replacing it with.

Some suggestions, whether they be feasible or not.
--------------
Alizée America watches
Alizée America sunglasses (I don't know where the logo would go)
Alizée America undies
Alizée America cultist/orderic robes
Alizée America temporary tattoos (and also those of Alizée's tattoos)
Alizée America keychains/keyfobs
Alizée America necklaces

Alizée American undies??

Head protection, with convenient ports for the goggles and battery pack.

They'd also make a nice decoration to our cult hoods

Jalen suggested we could have Alizée cult robes - but has anyone seen the Snuggie? Or its competitor, the Slanket? The band Weezer had some done up, they sell 'em, and they even appeared on Letterman all dressed in 'em... ( http://www.weezersnuggie.com/ )

So how 'bout Alizée Snuggies!!!!

And they look like cult robes, plus they're warm! Maybe they don't advertise these things out in California, but they're in all the drugstores and Office Depots up here... There was a big tv blitz for 'em just before xmas, just like chia pets!

Yea it's true. I just moved from California to Colorado and for the first time ever found snuggies in stores.

The idea of the snuggie makes me disappointed with the human race.

If I want a warm, blanket like material to surround my body and allow my arms for use... I'll wear a goddamn sweat shirt, or even a friggin bath robe on backwards.

[Chuck]

Okay, sorry J. Maybe no snuggées. Back to berets? Or culottes?

Yeah, AF has some nice merch. They were selling a really sweet jacket for awhile that I absolutely coveted, but I never broke down and bought it because I've hardly spent any time there really (for various reasons), and I felt like a poser.

It could just be a simple black(or white) hat with the new Alizée "A" logo. I'll tell you right now, I'll definitely be buying one.

Scruffy has this one custom made for the meeting, though obviously there's gonna be demand now so I'm looking into getting them mass-produced. ;)

Until that day comes, I think the sharpie on my forehead will suffice

You should go all Inglourious Bastards and just carve it into your head.. or get the Bear Jew to do it for you. I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige. :p

Nah... it would take away from the old "Alizée" logo that was branded onto my back with a brand carved from a dragon's skull.

yummy, getting branded on the back, good stuff;)

Looks like the Easter Bunny was mighty kind this year.

I gotta say, these shirts far exceeded my expectations (with one minor negative). I've owned quite a few printed shirts... some good quality, some crap.

The quality of the AAm shirts is excellent! I've seen many printed designs made with this sticky, puffy crap that peels off in warm or humid environments. Not the AAm shirts. A very thin print (I don't know how to describe it, but the material is applied into the fibers so if the shirt stretches, the print will stretch with it instead of cracking) that's very clear/sharp.

The comfort quality of the bare shirts themselves are excellent as well. They're very soft and feel very durable.

(I'm just calling this as I see it)

However, everything goes both ways. Upon ironing out the wrinkles due to the way the shirts were shipped, I stumbled upon a kind of unfortunate feature.

That color difference is the exact shape of a rectangle. I really can't tell what it is, my two theories are that the printing machine printed the logo and a black background rather than just the logo, or the part of the machine on which they mount/stretch the shirt did something to it. It feels only kinda like the ink, but not really (although it does have a definite different texture). Fortunately for me, I always wear a t-shirt under a jacket or unbuttoned long-sleeve, so this won't be a big issue for me.

Other than that little thing, I'm extremely happy with these shirts!

Let the walking-billboard-ness begin!

those shirts are sick!

[wasabi622]

I totally rock that black t-shirt! Though I also have the prototype of the logo on the side too.

Thanks for the feedback, Jalen!

As some here know, we had a few small hickups with the shirts initially, but I worked really hard to work those out and make sure our products were perfect (am actually still sitting on a couple designs because there hasn't been time to put them through the same quality control testing).

Cafe Press should have included a note in the package about the light rectangle on the black shirt. The border will more or less completely fade after the first washing! :)

I'm sure it will.

Plus, I didn't get the package, the Easter Bunny did (who doesn't know USB from LOL) so I'll never know

[Fèvier]

well my t-shirts arrived and am very pleased with them. going to wear one of them on Monday just to show off. Plus I have a track meet and there's going to be over 300 other kids. so there's no way I can be the only Alizée fan out of the tri-state area. :D

Also, I had an idea for the shirts. what if we can include our AAm screen names on the back of the shirt like they do on sport jerseys! I would love to have that on my shirt in case other AAm members spot each other and know who they are!

just an idea though. don't have to take it into consideration

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

That is a great idea, though café press might not be able to do that for cheaply enough. Congrats, though! Show it off like you mean it!

We're both in NY, yet no one I know here has even heard of Alizée. One time I wore an Alizée shirt I got off ebay years back and some woman remarked, "Oh, you're a Hannah Montana fan??"

WHAT...THE....F....

I would slap a foo'!

Oh man, that brought a tear to my eye! I was laughing so hard.

But mostly I wanted to bring back something I rediscovered yesterday: the great new AAm product Jalen had posted a while ago -
THE JALEN BEAR!
(sorry, no longer in stock, the only prototype of this item was mailed to France)

:blink: Why that is quite interesting! Hopefully others see that and buy it :D

[user472884]

The caddy or the bear?

I'm such a dork.

[User22]

The bear of course...

[user472884]

If the store could make an AAm bear cover for my caddy.....

I WANT IT. NOW.

[user472884]

The Bear: helluva lot larger than I expected.

11" from toe to crown

9" armspan

[User22]

What!? :eek: that is definitely much bigger than i expected too!

Is it fwuffy? :D

[user472884]

I guess... I only had it in my hands for like four seconds before I put it back and taped it and handed it to the lady who I've come to know as my mother. When I opened it I was like 0_0

She was the one who would be passing by the post office.
