    I was thinking what would you think about boards having some sort of online shop selling bits and pieces t-shirts and the likes.
    It could bring in a little extra cash.
    Also said bits and pieces could end up being a talking point out in the real world.

    There is a mention of Boards Merchandise over in the Forums suggestion forum - what you are talking about would fit in very well: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055200401

    Great minds think alike. I spent last week sorting out a few things to do with that. It will be a few months but we kicked off that project this week in fact!

    Excellent stuff altogether.

    maybe I could get an answer to a question I asked twice before though?

    Is the Boards logo copyrighted? Could I, or someone else, use it to make things to sell?

    Hi, where did you ask that before??

    Anyway, thats a good question. It IS copywritten, all artistic works are by default in Ireland, and I would imagine we wouldnt be very happy if someone came along and started to produce t-shirts with it on them and sold them solely for their profit. On the other hand I could imagine us being flexible about it.

    I'm not the copyright holder (Cloud is I would imagine!) so I can't completely answer your question.

    I asked on the mod forum a couple of times. :)

    No biggie though.

    The reason I asked was because I was looking at getting Pin Badges made with the Boards Team crest on them. (I collect football pin badges myself, and one of the lads thought it would be a nice thing to give to the players, and possibly sell them to other people on here, just to cover the cost of getting them made, not for a profit at all).

    Oh, by the way, Ruu designed our crest, and it incorporates the Boards logo

    This is the design

    And this is it, actually on one of the jersies.

    Oh, for something like that I think we'd be really happy to support it. Cloud is away but if you are just getting them as a once off for the team, I am sure that fine.

    Nice design too!

    I made a few things on Cafepress early last year sometime after asking Vexorg and ecksor about it but I kinda got sidetracked and don't think Cafepress ship to Ireland (or at least not cheaply).

    I'd buy them, just so I can pick up chicks. How about some boards.ie underwear? Could lead to some uncomfortable moments in the mens room.

    Cafepress is a bit crap to be honest. They leave you a few % and the items cost a fortune! I'd rather we built our own.

    I always thought that the getting laid bit came first, and the production of condoms were as a result of that, rather than the other way around. You shagging guys just cause they have a killer line in condoms? :p


    The great thing about this would be walking down the street, seeing someone with a boards.ie t-shirt and thinking "oooh, I wonder who that is?"

    Trojan later introduced the Magnum XL, a slightly widened version of the brand. Magnum and Magnum XL both measure 8 inches long, while Magnum XL are 1/4 inch wider with 1 3/4" width. The Magnum XL is 1/4 inch longer and 3/8 inch wider than a standard condom.

    would certainly make person stop and consider.

    I don't know, wearing a board's t-shirt in public just screams out loser. ye I know I am but I don't want to advertise it to the rest of the world.
    That and the fact that you know at the boards beers you are going to get the uber nerds wearing the t-shirts and actually thinking that they are cool when in fact they would actually be quite the opposite

    Someone make a t-shirt with an entire feedback thread on it. It would basically be:
    'I got banned from X'
    'Heres why you got banned'
    'No fair'
    Extreme cats.
