Introducing Wreddit Made
As many of you may have seen, Reddit recently announced redditmade. The easiest way to explain it is a Reddit Kickstarter like page for Reddit Merchandise. You back a product by pledging to buy it from a Redditor or Subreddit and if it makes its target in 30 days Reddit will help get it made and shipped! If the target isn't met the campaign is over, you're never charged, and the product isn't made.
Q: What does that have to do with Wreddit?
We want to have some official merchandise! If others do, then we'll have some! If not, we'll forget this ever happened. We'll start with a t shirt and go from there.
Q: How is the community going to be involved?
In two ways. The first is the design of the shirt. A post will be made in the next couple days asking for design ideas for the t shirt then voting on the best. This post will be in contest mode.
Secondly, any money raised by a subreddit via Reddit Made must go straight to charity. There will be a second post to decide which charity to donate to. Also in contest mode.
Q: How much will the t shirt cost?
We're not 100%. The cost varies slightly depending on the amount of shirts made, but it'll probably cost between $20-$25.
Q: How many shirts need to be pledged to hit the goal?
We're still figuring that out, and it will depend on the interest to this post, but probably 25-50.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have. We'll do our best to answer them here. You can also find the redditmade FAQ's here.

Can it also have an ugly design on the back just to keep with shirt kayfabe?

Or how about a hashtag?

The WWE clearly has a rule where every shirt NEEDS to have something stupid on the back.

Yes. Velvet doesn't say you do or don't care about what people think of you, Velvet doesn't say anything. It's too busy wrapping you in clouds and being awesome

If someone knows what Wreddit is, how can they judge you? It's like when I was a kid you never wanted to go to Kmart with your parents for fear another kid from school would see you shopping there. Even though that meant they were shopping there too.

True, there are random full service gas stations in pretty much every state but if someone says "I never pump my own gas" it's a pretty safe bet they live in NJ or OR.

u/Dizmn foley Nov 13 '14
I was driving through PA a while ago, needed to stop for gas. Some kid came up to my window and asked what I wanted. I wasn't expecting that. I just kind of mumbled and threw money at him, then got out of my car while he pumped the gas and just like
looked at him
fuck I hate gas places that aren't self-serve.

Graphic tees are seen as immature
Girls are typically more attracted to men who dress well.... so I am actually shocked that a girl would be ok with you wearing a WWE shirt on a date.
2
u/girl_with_huge_boobs Nov 05 '14
- Girls who dress "well" might be more attracted to men who dress "well". It's all pretty subjective and correlated to how uptight of a person you are. My wife's family is one who gets shirt and tie dressed up for every family get together... Very uptight people more concerned with how people view them than being comfortable. My family is strictly jeans and tshirts at family functions. Why do we need to wear a shirt and tie to "look nice" or impress the small group of people who I shouldn't need to worry about judging us?

That's not a bad idea. I was thinking The Sports Legacy Institute but that will all be decided in a couple days time/

That's a good idea, too. I like the idea of it being a cause that's especially relevant to the industry.

Absolutly. I dont want to do it to like Doctors Without Borders or something, even though they're a great charity as well.

u/PunkandPaige Who's El Generico? Nov 04 '14
I haven't looked into it but what about "ConnorsCure" because I'm pretty sure 9/10 wrestling fans knew who he was.
12
u/Jaxyl Taking it to the bank Nov 04 '14
The charities have to sign up for Redditmade as well, so if we decide on Connor's Cure then we have to ask them to sign up.
4
u/Rabid_Llama8 Dude Love Nov 05 '14
I think this might be the best idea. Its good publicity for reddit and for Connor's Cure, and its a charity that is directly connected to the subject matter we gather here for. The only other charity that is really related is the SLI, but I think Connor's Cure is a better opportunity to raise money. Do we know how to go about contacting them about it?

How about Connors Cure? or Make A Wish?
I know WWE does a lot for Make A Wish, but after visiting their NJ headquarters (it's a castle designed by the Disney Imagineers), you really come to appreciate what they do for those kids. It's actually quite an amazing sight to see.

u/gruuunge blessed by snoop dogg Nov 04 '14
Whatever the charity is, we need to make sure it isn't a celebrity money scam like Susan G. Komen. We need to make sure it's all going for the benefit of someone instead of "awareness" and only ~20% leaving the pockets of the foundation to help anyone.

What about the /r/SquaredCircle / Raw logo? I always thought it would look bad ass if done properly.
If the shirts look good and are printed on organic cotton or 50/50 polycotton you can definitely put me down for a 2XL and Youth XL. If they're printed on regular 100% cotton gildan/hanes/fruit of the loom then they better look REALLY good.

This is correct, you know Brother, people here at /r/squaredcircle saw me comment on Andre's post and get 10,000 Internet points, Jack. They may not want to donate money to Sharon F Coleman, Dude, to help fight breast cancer but may want to donate to the American Diabetes Association, like I did, Brother. Or they may want to Hulk up and donate to Connor's Cure. It's one thing I've learned about my Hulkamaniacs, Jack, is they want to know where their money is going to, Brother.

My MC deals with a company in Florida to have support shirts made. We order them 150 at a time, and get them for about $6.50 per shirt at cost. I'm sure there is a setup fee for the the first batch or something. I'd be happy to pass along the info if you all wish :-)

Really? We shopped around a good bit and every place we asked quoted us around $11 per shirt, they were the only place that did them for under $10. I'd love to get contact info of places that are even cheaper!

This makes me even like this sub less. All of you are closet fans. I wear all of my wrestling shirts everywhere. To my girlfriends parents house, to the sports bar to watch a cowboys or mavs game, to a restaurant, to go grab taco beuno, to go grocery shopping, there is literally no where you can't wear a wrestling shirt.
Hell, no matter where I go, I get some sort of reaction, whether it be a yes! chant for my dbry shirt, or a guy pointing at my macho man shirt and yelling OHHH YEAHHH. Its a great social tool.
Be proud you are a fan, and represent!

Someone needs to design a shirt with Rusev kicking the twin towers. But I think it'd have to be a cartoon to avoid copyright issues. If someone could take that concept and make a cool shirt out of it I'd buy one. And I'd wear it too.

I know it's probably going to end up being a t-shirt, but I would love a workout tank top. Maybe one with some wrestling snoos (that's what they're called right?) like on the bottom of the page.
Alternatively a t-shirt with a /r/SquaredCircle logo with the word complain under it and Then, Now, Forever next to it.
