Is there still a MeFi Cafepress store? Specifically, the baseball jerseys with the user number.

Oh that. Yeah, it's a total pain in the ass to do those. I have a custom photoshop file that I hand-set the number and name, then I have to upload those by hand to cafepress and create a new product for each shirt.

A couple years ago, I realized I was spending like 30 minutes on each one and it wasn't really fun or worth it anymore.

HA! HA! Then this is a collector's item now. Woo-hoo!

Hrm. I don't think 17349 is going to fit on my shirt.

Matt, why not open ~~sores~~ source the PSD for the ~~dorks~~ users who want one? I really don't care one way or another, just throwing the idea out.

I could just post the file here, but you need a $30 font to be able to edit it.

Is it possible to order one sans number? I'd like to give out a couple as prizes in the MeFi Fantasy Baseball league.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to come up with a replacement font.

Took me about a minute to find this, which is an ok replacement with a little work.

Don't worry, he doesn't fit in MetaKos. I doubt he'll want a shirt.

I did this a while ago as a joke but they're available on CafePress and some ~~suckers~~ people have bought them:

(Prices are as low as I can set in CP, no profit)
Also available: mousepads and thongs

Offering great wads of cash failed, and being the MeFi Meetup couple didn't do the trick either.

It's closed? Bummer. My shirt design would kind of suck balls, anyway.

Not that it matters. All the best numbers are already taken.

Nah, the [more inside] pregnancy t-shirts were the best.
