To payback3000, Jason and VMNP:

As the heads of state for this small nation and its output, what are your thoughts on creating other limited edition fan items like shirts, posters, whatnot, only offered on this forum? In my mind, and I think legally to some extent, it's okay if it's a limited run. Like only 50 T-shirts or mouse-pads or whatever. When people open up shops and sell other people's stuff perpetually that's no good. But to have more cool Pop Will Eat Itstuff just sounds like an idea worth exploring. Let's share our ideas and clutter our space with more branded detritus.

This is your territory more than mine, so I'm asking. Is more fan-generated and voted-on stuff worth pursuing?

(I've not been here too much longer than one year actively [I lurked for years until this cover CD seemed like it would REALLY happen and that was game over - join now for me], so this may be a re-hashed topic.)

It's probably a bad idea, but I had to ask.

I love this sort of thing and I know other posters on here do too. Payback has done some great t-shirts in the past. Have to be careful it's not just him doing everything though!!

I was thinking of doing some embroidered beanie hats in time for Autumn. Money can go towards the cost of running the website.

Of course, there's also the polo shirts I've wanted to do for ages. Need to agree a design and get enough orders to make it worthwhile.

I seem to remember some PWEI babygros done a while back, they were cool.

I was thinking a trucker-style baseball cap with a small PWEI Product logo would look pretty good.

Funnily enough i was thinking just last night that a t-shirt to tie in with ALOTOCB would be bloody cool.

I think it's a great idea. In the past we've not had much official stuff to buy but that's improved a lot, lately. I think you might now have to be careful; there's a real pwei band around now and so we *usually!* did pwei-nation stuff. Are you offering to do something?

Yes you're right. I do have a 96 t-shirt but it's a medium and i've been eating a lot of barbeque food lately. :lol:

I would say it's not good to do PWEI stuff now they are well active...it's bootlegging. Yes we did a few 'non profit' low runs of things after the split and before PWEI2 arrived. I would say PWEINATION stuff is fine but anything else is going to piss the band off. They have an olnine shop - better facebooking the band about what you would like to buy?

Ebay is full of PWEI boots.
