We've been thinking about doing some sort of shop where you can buy merchandise like mugs, keychains, patches, shirts, etc...all with SlayAlive logos, quotes and more.
What do you all think of this idea, and do you have any good suggestions? Remember that we cannot use anything that is copyrighted by FOX! All merch will be cheaply priced too!
This is something we are going to do, so if you wanna be a part of it, let us know!
Great quotes, imagery ideas, actual product ideas are all welcome.
Right now I am thinking:
Mugs Bumper Stickers Tee Shirts (with cool designs by me!) Magnets Buttons Mousepads Trucker Hats

I would love wearing something with the slayalive logo on. It would be fun bumping into someone at a con with the logo, standing there, laughing, pointing at each other.
And something with the Mods on high sketches would be cool too.

Oooo really? Mods? Aw, thanks Sky. That'd be awesome. Hmm let me see if I can think up any cool ideas for merch, Phil. I'll be planning and plotting that today.

Very cool idea. I will definitely pick some items up down the line when I have an actual income.

Ok, I've gotten into the habit of calling members here 'Slayalivers' - do people like that term? Would it be cool to have a t-shirt that says "Slayaliver - We talk in the chatty rooms" or something like that? Or maybe a t-shirt that defines the word: Slayaliver:\ˈslā-ə-ˈlīv-ər\ 1 : one who slays boredom through forum posting 2 : a rabid online fan of all things Whedon 3 : a person who is cooler than you Or a cbox specific t-shirt that says: C-Boxer I talk in the chatty room

You could print some of the banners on the T-shirt? or is that copyright?.
Also you could print like a picture of the cbox on the shirt would be cool, considering its like the biggest part of the forum, just an idea ?

Here's some of my favorite graphics that you've created, Phil, and I think would be great for the t-shirts. I love the "SLAYALIVE" text (my favorite font for the forum name) in this graphic: Love the "SLAYALIVE" welcome sign here: Love the "SLAYALIVE" text here (my second favorite): As for a Mods merchandise thing, this might make for an interesting panel ( SPOILER - an unreleased panel from Mods 3):

Great ideas! I LOVE the definition one!!! Here's some of my ideas:
A pink girls tee that says: "Say NO to Slayers, killing vampires is wrong!", with "Vampires like totally have rights!" on the back.
Yellow 'Kiss the Librarian' mugs. Black 'Kiss the Slayer' mugs
A black tee that uses the Twilight symbol, with the word TWILIGHT underneath it, with a cool gradient that makes it look shiny.
A unisex white tee that says "HAMNOO?" in big blocky font. I want pins and a patch with it also.
Baby blue girls tee that says "FIVE BY FIVE" vertically down the center in big blocky letters.
"Team Buffy" trucker hats.
"Into every fanbase, a forum is born" merchandise.
"Want, Take, Have." Messenger bag
Tee shirts with a "Buffy" old school inspired tattoo design on them. Maybe on the sleeve. Basically a red heart, with a scroll around it saying "Buffy", and a stake through the top of the heart.
Trucker hat that has the "Welcome to SlayAlive" sign on them.
A 'King of Cretins" tee shirt that says, "I am the King of Cretins"...
Another unisex slim fit tee in red that has 'I WANT YOU TO BE STRONG" in black bold letters.
A black girls tee that has a vamp mouth with pink lips, with the text "bite me." underneath it.
"I Slay, therefore I am" merchandise.
Also, I have seen other stuff in the past that used the Scythe, character silhouettes, the Bronze logo and the Buffied font. So I think those would be fine to use too.

Hey Phil! great ideas! Ok, so we were discussing possibly a line of Slayed Alive merch, probably t-shirts.
the idea was for tshirts to have the names of the outcast/top 12ers. Example: one shirt would say KARA and underneath it would have a memorable quote of hers. The twist: for those that died, there would be a sketch of their death, along with maybe "TIME'S UP".
Like Ethans shirt would have a picture of a girl stabbing a guy in the shower.

Love all those ideas, Phil. Especially the trucker hat and the "Bite Me" black shirt. This keeps sounding more and more awesome.

I have no Buffy-themed clothing, accessories or anything. I have always wanted some, but they have always seemed so cheesy to me. So I thought, we should make our own! I'm really hoping this catches on. We will be going through CafePress by the way, so it'll be legit. Nothing should ever cost more than 19.99 either, I want this to be affordable. I am also looking into rubber bracelets like the LIVEstrong ones.

we can get custom made stuff, right? This would be a case where you'd need to request me to make a graphic, and then send it over to CafePress and set it up. But I think it's something I am willing to do as long as it's not a constant thing.

Since people were talking about having Mods on High merch. I was thinking a shirt that says "Epic Fail!" or some other awesome quote. Just brainstormin'....

Slayaliver: \ˈslâ-ə-ˈlîv-ər\
1 : one who slays boredom through forum posting 2 : a rabid online fan of all things Whedon 3 : a person who is cooler than you
These are all awesome ideas, but this one is definately my favorite! I want it on a t-shirt just to confuse anyone that doesn't know about Slayalive! LOL
