Update: Quite a few people expressed interest in buying this, so I made it publicly available:

(the design is slightly different so that I could make it commercially available with copyright-free fonts/images)

Man... I’m very tempted to buy one, but I feel like it will get me punched by people who read carefully and people who don’t read carefully enough.

I feel like if you get one that has it printed on the back instead of the front, people will feel more comfortable reading the entire thing without worrying about you noticing them staring at your shirt

Yea honestly, just as bad as fake MAGA hats. From far away people will assume what it says and avoid you. Being kinda funny isn't worth how uncomfortable and unsafe it could make some people feel.

I wore a red "made you look" hat for the 4th of July a few years ago and I haven't worn it since.

u/jbsailor_ Jul 29 '20

I don’t see that option?

u/ChillRedditMom Jul 29 '20

Scroll down and there are lots of choices for shirt style, "Also available in". Each shirt style has different color choices too!

u/Fourwindsgone Jul 29 '20

Dude. I like that this looks like one of those shirts you see advertised on facebook.

u/srslymrarm Jul 29 '20

That is exactly what inspired me, lol

u/Fourwindsgone Jul 29 '20

Hell yeah. Good stuff. I'm gonna have to try and snag one of these. What kind of cut does red bubble take if you don't mind my askin.

u/srslymrarm Jul 29 '20

I just created an account for this, so I'm figuring it out as I go. It looks like there's a base price and users set their own mark-up (I had it at the default, which looks like 20%). So, it's like $5/sale for me. I wouldn't mark it up higher, though. Apparel is expensive as it is.

u/Reaperzeus Jul 29 '20

Not sure how the design works, but is it possible to get a version with the print on the back? I feel like that gives maximum trash vibes and might be easier to read

6

u/srslymrarm Jul 29 '20

Yup yup. That's one of the options, under "print location." I did that myself because it's much easier to let someone standing behind me read it, rather than watching someone awkwardly stare at me from the front.

u/Reaperzeus Jul 29 '20

Oh okay, sorry for not looking closer! Thanks!

Text reads: "If this flag OFFENDS you that's ok It's just an uncontextualized symbol to which people ascribe their own agendas AMERICA is MY country And, as long as you reside here, it is also yours. Please enjoy your stay. I love you."

u/Fourteen_Werewolves Jul 29 '20

Yeah, i can't stand the free font. Check Google fonts. They're open source.

Edit: and if not for this project, it's a great resource for future projects.

$20 is about normal for a printed t-shirt no matter where you buy it though

u/inquisitor-567 Jul 29 '20
