Looking for ideas for ARG Tshirts Something I read somewhere in the forums inspired me to make some ARG tshirts. Here are my first ideas:
A white tshirt with TINAG (this is not a game) written in big black letters, inside one of those black frames you get on don't smoke warnings on cigarette packets, the black frame just to emphasise that this is in fact not a game, its true for ARgs and life
A post someone made regarding H2H makes a great tshirt too: "Procrastination, saving lives everyday" , for does of us who play when we should be doing something else.
One with OOG? and IG? written over and over again, because sometime we don't know the difference
This are the ideas I have for now, what about you guys got any ideas?

While you're on that train of thought... the upcoming ARGfest is looking for a logo/tshirt design, and we'll be having an official design contest, per se... so think about that one too more info soon.

I would love to walk around a live ARG event/dead drop wearing a Tshirt that says "OOG" in huge, bold letters XD

That would be very cool, LordIllidan. thebruce I have some ideas for an ARGers guild coat of arms, but am still missing a motto.
Some new tshirt ideas:
Some off the icons we use in the posts would look very cool on a tshirt, especially the brownie and the trout, a tshirt with the trout icon would be awesome.
Some off the latest tshirts have small coloured lights that make animated patrons. A tshirt that changed between OOG and IG would be very cool especially if it came with a small hidden button that would let freeze on the word of your choice. Think about it, while you're at school, work ,etc you put it on OOG, when you set down to play you click and change it it IG.
This one off course would have to be custom made, but there are probably several tshirt shops online that would do this sort of thing.
For the Batman fans, read this in a brazilian blog the other day: "E.Nigma was the first ARGer" , it would be sort off cool on a tshirt and conversation starter in certain groups
God: Puppet master of the Universe
ARGing: Because sleep is overated (inspired by a comment by NightHawk)
On the same topic an ARG version off the "ok just one more level" tshirt:
Ok, just one more hour
ok, just one more hour
ok,just one more hour
ok,just....
The ten commandments of ARGs make an awesome tshirt too
A tshirt with a spoiler tag
Come on! No one has any cool phrase to put on a tshirt? I don't have to understand the context other people here certainly will.
If we get enough ideas maybe an online shop could be made, has a way to help the forums, since you're always asking for donations.

I was considering a "My sister was kidnapped and all I got was a stupid Vigenere cypher" button...
And of course there's the "Reality is for those who can't cope with fiction" slogan.

"Trout? STFU"

No matter what the puppetmaster says, Yugioh is better than Pokemon [/injoke]
(Written in binary) If you decoded this Tshirt in your head, you're almost as bad as all of us at unfiction
Twinkies and Ho-hos have nothing to do with saving the world
Fialka. Why did it have to be Fialka?
Saving the world is so much more important than homework

Your avatar is just awesome
"Let's go trout fishing!"
"Save the world with twinkies"
Have a picture of one of those flip number-counter signs (you know what I'm talking about) in the middle of the shirt and have it say:
"I've saved the world [#][#] times and counting"
EDIT: maybe?

Spacebass has already set up an unfiction store (the link sometimes appears in the Announcements box at the top of the forums) A couple of years ago there was a contest of sorts looking for t-shirt designs.

There were some witty designs posted. My favourite was by Ehsan - a cafepress thong with an unfiction spoiler box on it.

Hey, I was the one at H2H who said -
"Procrastination, saving lives everyday"
Actually one of my long planned for projects (I have many) is to design and silkscreen a line of clever t-shirts (was planning for children, but meh, this would be cool too)
I'll try and think of more....
