Just got my shirt today. Thanks a ton for being so patient with the return koogy!

Also, have you ever considered making pins? I'd love something to display on my hat.

Thank you so much! I was just a little worried when you didn't send it back right away, but I wasn't upset or anything! I'm really glad you like it!

And yes, I will be selling pins in the near future, don't worry!

Hey man props on the messenger bag I may have been soaked but my fightstick, and textbook weren't :D

I'll take one of dem customer appreciation photos later on today. gotta shower and such first XD

[koogy]

Hey guys, we have 3 new items in the store today, PLUS the messenger bags are back in stock! Be sure to grab as much as you can, as fast as you can. Otherwise you'll make me cry. And you don't want to make me cry, right? ;_;

[Circuitous]

Sorry koogster, I'm still broke and the new shirts are kinda "le shrug."

OOOOH. I'm on BLAST. :C

[Circuitous]

Sorry bro! "Dorya!" is like, what does that even say? Play Dirty has nothing to do with its own design. And ブローカンチィア is equal parts "what does that even say" and mid-80s glam cartoon.

Also I am so completely broke.

[Crosell]

Might have to go for one of those messanger bags. My Te doesn't fit in my back pack very well

[Ronin Jinobi]

...I think i might buy the dorya one. i want to get a katakana one later on though, the neon one if you still have it up for sale later on >_> although it is til the 21st.

also i have a customer photo for you :O

It's all good! The "DORYA" shirt references a move from Tekken that is extremely iconic. "DORYA" is the sound he makes when he preforms said move.

The token design is just a dirty arcade token, "PLAY DIRTY" is BROKENTIER's unofficial slogan. It has some really subtle imagery in it relating to some old fighting games. And the katakana shirt is just for fun, because I'm obsessed with Japanese typography. Remember, a lot of my stuff is aimed at extremely narrow targets; some groups don't understand it at all depending on when you got into the scene, or what games you play.

Doesn't lead to a very profitable business, but I enjoy people who get it, and really enjoy it. :D

You should take that Hazama Jiyako shirt design from the Facebook contest thing and see if the designer would let you make that shirt.

It holds a copyrighted sprite in its design so koogy wont be able to i believe :/

[natearistata]

Oh.

Bummer.

[koogy]

Yeah, unfortunately that contest did a bunch of designs I would never do.

[Sorael]

Maybe what you should do is make a guideline for people that would like to pitch ideas.

[Master Chibi]

A-fucking-men, shit pissed me off something fierce.

[koogy]

Basic rules for giving me ideas:

- No character art. I'm phasing out the "In Dust We Trust" shirt for a reason.

- No character names. I don't really want to deal with potential legal issues.

- Gimme any idea you have. But, I'm pretty picky about what I put on for Brokentier. The more subtle / clever they design idea, the better. (i.e; don't ask me to put hype dog on a t-shirt. this is an example of not subtle design)

And I want to give everyone a huge thank you for supporting me for all this time! I wouldn't be where I am without your help!

Now, a question for everyone.

WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT: SHIRT QUALITY, OR PRICE?

Do you like the American Apparel shirts I've always printed on? Or do you not care at all, and would rather have a lower price?

[Takoto]

I'm phasing out the "In Dust We Trust" shirt for a reason.

Ah... does that mean you won't be stocking in any small/medium ones in future? I was going to order one a while ago but didn't have the money at the time, just checked and all you have listed are large ones. Just asking and all.

[RaveSage]

I say price is more important but I'm content with paying $25 + shipping. $10-$15 would be a dream though.

Btw, I dig the DORYA! design.

DORYA! is godlike...i knew what it was immediatly. Never will the sound of EGWF leave my head. or however its spelled.

[Jam-Kiske]

I would LOVE cheaper shirts. As long as it's not like so low quality I will wash it once and it dies, I'm good.

[Sorael]

if their base was 19.99 that'd be awesome but I really like American apparel shirts. And I mean, I don't mind that much because this isn't like grocery shopping, it's a one time payment.

[InvidiaViribus]

If i'm gonna buy custom shirts like these i'd at least like them to be printed out on high quality shirts, otherwise i'll go buy packs of blank shirts for nothing. I only wear AA shirts now so I don't think i'd buy anymore if you change them, but it depends what other brand of shirt you had in mind.

[koogy]

Okay guys, I'm going to work on lowering prices a bit in the near future. If you're going to Nor Cal Regionals this weekend, be sure to hit up our booth and grab some goodies! We always run mega deals for events! We've also fixed international shipping, so it should be MUCH more affordable if you're just getting one or two shirts!

[koogy]

Psst. Brokentier is having a RIDICULOUS Black Friday sale. If you want in on the goodies, subscribe to our FACEBOOK or Twitter, and we'll post up the details tomorrow evening!
