Varrok will be happy about the JAW teddy at least.

[Varrok]

Hey they have teddy.... Hey someone has already mentioned it!

Why would anyone want to have merchandise with a company logo on it, except for the company itself?

[Wil]

Nike does alright.

[MeechMunchie]

Nike design the shoes themselves.

I'm going to assume you just when all out with the default choices on the site.

I dunno, I wouldn't mind a JAW t-shirt just to show my support.

[Nate]

Does CafePress actually make one of every item for the model shots, or is it all just photoshopped?

Whoops!

[Job McYossie]

Yeah, we did want Oddworld merch. In fact, I still would like some Oddworld merch. Guess I'll have to be happy for now with my mousepad that didn't even help the company.

JAW's stuff isn't related to the chance of any Oddworld stuff at all.

Photoshopped obviously.

Also wrong topic, mister admin man.

No, you're always bad and an ass.

Aaand back to topic please.

While I think it's cool JAW is looking for way to bring us merchandise I'm not a big fan of the CafePress idea. There's no strong design (the logo is way too small on most of the shirts), it feels cheap and you don't have the collector aspect anymore.

I think I would have considered buying a JAW t-shirt if only one kind existed, purely because I would have liked to own "the" JAW tshirt. But now as it's possible to put the logo on everything they totally diluted the appeal.

I realy hope they will not do a CafePress for Oddworld merch.

Of course you wouldn't.

It'd be better than nothing.
Actually, getting them custom printed by a T-shirt printing shop would be much better.
