First Merch by Amazon T-Shirt Approved!

Amazon now offers print on demand shirts and finally my first shirt is live after applying at the beginning of 2017! What do you think of the design at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0757FSYKM which is shown in the photos below in pink?

I tested a bunch of designs in person on Redbubble at https://www.redbubble.com/people/jerrybanfield/shop and this design was the clear winner with about 100 people this year commenting on my shirt.

What I am looking for is essentially a new uniform shirt to wear and then to sell as "the only shirt I wear" like Mark Zuckerberg has his wardrobe of all brownish gray hoodies and tshirts. I also personally like the message on this shirt the best and I love the design exactly as it is.

For the pricing, I chose to set it at the highest price Amazon would allow because I have been doing the opposite for years with little success. Why not then just set the price at $49.99 for my shirt and not worry about who buys it?

How do you feel about the design in terms of font, spacing, size, and theme? Based on your feedback I will either go forward with this design as my uniform or make changes!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Anyone know why my comments disappear? What is wrong in my comments?

It appears as though you have been spamming, and thus, have been flagged severely.

saweeeet :) I love the wifi thing. It's why I wear my Airbitz t-shirt so much xD ... btw you are looking younger and younger every day! Which reminds me to recommend that you gotta try a weekend of juice feasting...you'll be in for something very special :)

Can you mention some comments about the pictures of family all over the kitchen? What inspired that? It looks so lovely and seems like a great idea...

First vote jerry! U have my support!

Thank you @williams858! I like your dolphin logo.

Thanks Jerry! I see you are flying up the witness chart! How many votes you got now? If ya dont mind me asking!

Nice shirt?
Design stand strong.
Will there be other color or theme ?
Keep on steemit

Hey Jerry! Just to let you know that i visited your shop link
https://www.redbubble.com/people/jerrybanfield/shop

I noticed that your home page icon link to your website doesnt work. This is because there is an error on the link:

http://http//jerrybanfield.com/

Rather than http://jerrybanfield.com

haha - the transition from your second to the third photo is funny... I guess your shirt made you smile.. :D

Thank you for noticing @therealwolf :)

Nice shirt, nice design, nice message but I think the logo is too big. That style went out in the 1980s with Wham! Nowadays people don't want to be human billboards. It is like SHOUTING ON MESSAGE BOARDS WITH ALL CAPS... oh, sorry I got carried away. Peace out!

@otage thank you very much for your feedback here and in the comment below which inspired me to cancel my order for more shirts and resize the logo first because what you suggested also matches with what my wife said about the logo being too big now! I appreciate your help and here is a tip!

Naw dawg, big logos can still be cool if done right.

True dat! I'm referring specifically to the size of this logo. For example, on his red shirt the logo size and placement looked more reasonable (but I would still go smaller). Also for all those fans not as svelte as Jerry the curved logo will extenuate any bulges in that area. It might just as well say "beer belly" or "baby on board!"

Thank you for mentioning the logo size because that is one of the key questions I had for editing this design and now that you mention it that way I want Prayer to be the main focus and not the logo. If the logo is huge then prayer is not as easy to notice. Time to reduce the logo size!

No problem I like the way you reach out to the community for feedback. Thank you for all your informative posts!

Fair enough, I find design a subjective set of rules. Good call on the wifi lines accentuating the midsections of any lager bodies though!

I'd do something like this:

It's a nice shirt with the text and design but I dont understand the logo, what is it? radio waves?

Regards
Jimmy

Good question Jimmy! I had hoped it looked like a wifi symbol!

MMmm. only Jerry can do this!
My input would be.. how about add ONE more word? Prayer,, and
Service ! Maybe Prayer on the front and Service on the back!?

i think service is also very important,, as i know you do!
As a wise man once said: "hands that help are holier than lips that pray"

love the pink ;-)

Thank you Alex for your suggestion which I will keep in mind!

I voted you as a witness shouldn't there be a message after the vote like "Vote succesful!" or something.

Thank you for voting for me as a witness! I am grateful to now be in the top 50 and to cast the vote, would you please click on the arrow next to jerrybanfield while it is white and then leave it looking blue because I just checked https://steemd.com/@ady-was-here and it shows no votes? Steemit hopefully will update this interface because it remains challenging to use for me despite having cast about 50 votes for witness. I have to refresh every time to verify the vote is there in blue.

@jerrybanfield Your awesome i have been following you for a very longtime, and you have changed my life. As i'm investing in Steemit for a longtime.
This will change our life. Thanks again.

I like the design Jerry!

When I first looked at it, I thought I saw the words "Player" :P

Nice I had never thought of it that way!

Looks like the poor kid on seeing a pink panther in the flesh turns in total terror and then tries to make a run for it.

Haha, but that baby is cute!

Nice Merch Jerry!!

I like the design and I like that you are not afraid to wear pink!

That's so cute tshirt sir.

Not a fan of the black outline, if you have to use an outline maybe try a different color, something warm like magenta or raspberry? I'd drop the outline and use a heavier weight font if readability is your concern.

I like the design on the shirt. Not sure I would buy one at this point. Maybe I would, if I make a bit more $$$ here. ;)

Sup Jerry! The main idea seems Great, Love the Pink Color, But I personally don't like too much the design though, on front looks like something is coming out from your belly button, like a Wifi signal or something, looks better from back! Cheers!

Wow, i m going to order one.

Your kid is looking at you, like the f*** is Daddy wearing. Got to say pink is not your style.

wow nice story.. :) thanks for sharing

@sanzrasp

Pink is best!💕 so cute👍😍

Beautiful seen. wonderful photography.best of luck.go ahead bro

wow amazing content and funny at the same time. I also follow your youbute channel which has helped me a lot to know about digital money. Thank you for your fruitful information sharing with us

Hi @jerrybanfiled, The message on the shirt is the best thing. You're looking good. Good luck! STEEM ON!

I agree that the logo is too large. I would reduce the wording then reduce the graphic by 10% more.

haha I guess setting it at the high price couldnt be any worse than not getting sales at a lower price anyway.

picking the "highest" price point certainly has its risks. I think there is a solid market segment for this product. Pink for right/conservative leaning people maybe the biggest risk

I dont like the color. Just my opinion. J

Congratulations @jerrybanfield!

So congratulations on getting Yours accepted. It took less than a year. I hope You sell a lot of them :D

you look cool using the clothes, the color is also pink, it seems like women are very interested in you. haha
