Preparing for Gen Con: Geek Wear

When I finally decided to attend Gen Con this year, I also decided that I wanted to have at least one t-shirt with my blog’s logo made. Why? Because it makes it much easier for people to recognize me. There are a lot of people I’ve never met in real life and in some cases I have no idea how they look like. But if I wear a t-shirt with my blog’s logo on it, they at least know who I am!

So, if you are at Gen Con 2010 in Indianapolis look out for that disturbed looking German guy with beard and glasses wearing one of those shirts:

What’s the stance of my fellow RPG bloggers on this? Do you wear custom shirts at Gen Con as well? What does the non-blogging gamer wear at Gen Con? As always I am interested in your thought, so feel free to post them in the comments below!

I usually have a RPG Blog 2 shirt, but not as nice as that! You're going to put me to shame, sir! 🙂

I would definitely wear a custom t-shirt to a con. Either an Icar one or a FRPG blog one with the 'In Philanthropists We Trust' logo on the front.

So when can we expect to see you wearing these around the South African con scene?

Wear it with pride. I have shirts for both Highmoon Media Productions and The Gamer Traveler. 🙂

I would totally wear such a thing. In fact, I'd totally wear that red star shirt, should you choose to start selling them (since I won't be at Gen Con and therefore unable to arrange a trade). I've been thinking about coming up with my own design, but my Ps chops aren't quite good enough yet. Yours are pretty kickass!

Thanks for your comments, everyone!

@Zack: But your heraldic shield is much cooler! 🙂

@Jerall: I doubt I will be coming to South Africa soon, but if I do I'll let you know!

@Rob and Will: I currently don't play selling those shirts, BUT if the demand is high enough I might change my mind. The price of one of the dark shirts is about 20€, white ones are about $10.

And I didn't create all the artwork on those shirts (aside from the blog logo) but I just picked and chose designs on the site where I ordered the shirts.

@Daniel: I will definitely wear them with pride. I am proud of my blog. 🙂

I do like my crest, but am not sure how it would look on a t-shirt…
