    Red or blue?… Dammit, I’ll get both!

  3. Eyun Eyun says:

    It keeps telling me to update my shipping address, which I did. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

  4. Rchapoteau Rchapoteau says:

    Man are you guys trying to get sued?

  7. DarthDuck DarthDuck says:

    Got mine! Thanks guys!

  8. Parker Parker says:

    Spider-man + Math + Shirt = Awesome. It works on so many levels with Spidey also being a science nerd and all. Great job guys.

  9. edward edward says:

    not bad. who designs the shirts?

     you should let the users submit some designs, maybe, perhaps

  10. thematthaber thematthaber says:

    Dam you Ifanboy. I was hoping to go to Toronto Con next week and buy some stuff with the little money i have, but now I have to buy this shirt.

  11. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    haha, quite clever.  Might just have to pick one up

  12. I agree with this equation

    Unless you put in Mephisto; then you got some type of radical…

    I like the blue shirt though, stands out more

  13. KickAss KickAss says:

    Very nice.

  14. cromulent cromulent says:

    These are thwipping sweet!

  15. patio patio says:

    Damn. Nice idea, nice presentation. That is sooo tempting.

    One math quibble: Following the line graph back to the origin, it appears you can have some power with zero responsibility. 

  16. OttoBott OttoBott says:

    @patio – I’d say that can be pretty accurate, though. :)

  17. patio patio says:

    @OttoBott – very true. 

  18. PimpToxie PimpToxie says:

    Love the new tshirt design.

    I’ll wear this bad boy with Spidey Pride.

  19. Weezul Weezul says:

    Target acquired

  20. cman12 cman12 says:

    I cackled with nerdy delight.

  21. acbg acbg says:

    red or blue? red or blue? red or blue? 

  22. cormano cormano says:

    Hooray for XXL.

  23. Any word on how he ifanboy shirts are usually sized? I want to order one but not sure if I should order a L or XL

  24. DarthDuck DarthDuck says:

    I typically wear XL’s and the ‘HURM’ XL shirt also worked for me…

  25. filipsablik filipsablik says:

    Wow, that is Nerdcore, guys. Great design!

  26. I’ll make sure to pick one up at SDCC.

  27. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @miyamotofreak: There’s no guarentee that

    A) There will be any left by SDCC

    B) They will be on sale at SDCC.

  28. @conor: This is true. I’m just a cheap bastard trying to not pay shipping.

    @filipsabilk: Pimpin’ dem books ain’t easy, huh? 

  29. graph!pron :)

  30. cman12 cman12 says:

    I’m torn. I love Spider-man, but this shirt reminds me of my statistics class.

  31. cman12 cman12 says:

    Or, rather, how much I hate my statistics class.

  32. Crucio Crucio says:

    Genius shirt, you guys should do a variant down the road with black and white.

  33. Crucio Crucio says:

    "Man are you guys trying to get sued?"

     Technically there is nothing on it that is liable. Not the saying, not Spider-man or any logos. 

    It’s far enough away to be considered an homage to the material and doesn’t tred on any copyrighted material. It’s pretty genius actually, much like the Hurm shirt.

  34. excalipoor excalipoor says:

    wish u guys have the venom version (black n white). I might consider the blue one.

  35. @excalipoor

    Variant shirts? I think they’re a given eventually. 

  36. kndoubleu kndoubleu says:

    Yeah, I’d definitely order this if it was White or Black — not really feeling the red and blue. Even though I love me some Spidey, the color schemes are a little too American Apparel for me.

  37. Mart Mart says:

    Clever, but the designs could do with being a tad bigger for ease of reading from a distance.

  38. cromulent cromulent says:

    From a distance it looks like an open umbrella lying on its side.

  39. deadspace deadspace says:

    I really like the concept and design but shouldn’t power be on the X axis and responsibility on the Y axis? I haven’t done maths for about 12 years but I pretty sure the graph is saying that the more responsibility you have the more power you have… :/ 

  40. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    Neither axis has priority over another.

  41. deadspace deadspace says:

    "with great responsibility comes great power" – ok. just doesn’t make sense to me.

  42. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    It makes sense in either direction.  

  43. chlop chlop says:

    From what I remember from math class, it doesn’t matter, but it’s common to make the X axis and Y axis a certain way. You can choose which is X and which is Y and what the hell Y and X mean.

    You don’t have to write equations with a b and c. You can use Mickey, Larry and Martha. It doesn’t really matter. 

  44. deadspace deadspace says:

    sorry to get all mathsy but the X axis is where the independent variable goes. if you want to say "as power increases so too does responsibility" then the power will be on the X axis. I’ve never heard the phrase "with great responsibilty comes great power", which is what the tee says.

  45. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    It’s a t-shirt.  Shhh.

  46. Again you still gotta add the X factor that is Mephisto to the equation

  47. chlop chlop says:

    With great math comes great confusion…

  48. cromulent cromulent says:

    I betcha one night I’m gonna be wearing this shirt while drunk and see the spider on my chest and go nuts.

  49. PimpToxie PimpToxie says:

    Meh had to change my shipping address for the order: my apartment burned down  :(

    Will be hanging out in Florida until the end of May, then headed back to New York to move into my new apartment June 1st. 

     Any idea when you guys were planning on shipping the shirts?

  50. powerdad powerdad says:

    I hate to sound like an old man here, but nowadays all the t-shirts I buy need to have a pocket in them to carry my iTouch as I listen to the show.  

    So, if you produce a shirt with a pocket (perhaps/even a regular iFanboy t-shirt), I’ll buy it, and wear it frequently. (And that’s some advertising for you!)

  51. chlop chlop says:

    A Bruce Banner lab coat with "you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry" on it? I don’t know.

  52. powerdad powerdad says:

    You know, since I am an old man who needs a pocket in his t-shirt, maybe you can make for people like me a t-shirt saying, "You kids stop making all that noise, I’m trying to read my comicbooks!"

  53. chlop chlop says:

    Or "comics isn’t just for kids. Just look at that shirt pocket!" or a "I’m a comicbook artist, and I need room for my brushes".

  54. powerdad powerdad says:

    I was trying to think of one which worked with "Get off my lawn!", but nothing really came to mind.

    Or many more of a Dana Carvey Grumpy Old Man kind of thing like, "When I was a kid comics weighed 100 pounds each, and we had to walk through 15 feet of snow for 10 miles up hill to buy them, AND WE LOVED IT!"

     

     

  55. cromulent cromulent says:

    I think I might by both the red and blue shirts but cut some holes in the red one and wear the blue one underneath so it looks like Spider-man’s costume.

  56. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    In case you missed these tweets, the shirts have now arrived – so the packages will be going out soon!

  57. Got my shirt today!!! Aww yeah!

  58. Just got it, got it in blue, looks great!

  59. DarthDuck DarthDuck says:

    I got mine today!!!

    Thanks guys!!!

  60. cromulent cromulent says:

    I got my t-shirt and members stuff on the same day!! I was like oh shit, this is t’ight! Or should I say oh shirt, this is tight?

  61. chlop chlop says:

    @cromulent – A Geekscape reference?

  62. Brian Brian says:

    Just got my shirt in the mail today…awesome!

  63. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    Got mine in the mail a while back, just gave it to my brother (who is responsible for getting me into ifanboy) for his birthday.  He says, "cool, thanks" :) . I’m looking forward to the next tie-in you guys come up with.

  64. Got one for my birthday, it looks awesome! Great job guys. 

  65. samoflange says:

    Am I correct in thinking that these t-shirt you guys are putting out are to be in the category of comic-related clothing that is not obnoxiously comic-y?

    If so, perhaps in future shirts you will refrain from having the iFanboy logo on the back. I totally love this website and all of your various audio and video shows, but "Fanboy" just isn’t a word I want to wear around.

    That said, brilliant design on the front.

  66. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    It’s our logo, so… no we’re not going to stop putting it on our products.

  67. samoflange says:

    New logo someday? Something like: (iF)

    and with the same fun red font?

  68. stuclach stuclach says:

    I am perfectly happy with the iFanboy logo being slapped on the back. It’s advertising for a site I love that will (hopefully) drum up some additional readership who will (hopefully) buy memberships to increase the revenue for the site.

    Did these ship? I’d like to have mine in time for Dragon*Con (September 3-7). 

  69. Anson17 says:

    Did anyone else read Dark Reign: Young Avenger’s issue 3 and catch the iFanboy shirt shoutout? Gotta love Paul Cornell.

  70. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    Yeah… I get the feeling that the shirts will sell even faster now.

  71. rayclark rayclark says:

    i cant wait to get mine =)

  72. ShaunR ShaunR says:

    I would love to get me one of each color, but there are no 3XL’s.

  73. stuclach stuclach says:

    My shirt arrived in the mail yesterday.  I wore it to the theatre to see G.I. Joe.  My wife really liked it (I have been told that red is my color).  I also had a rather attractive young lady tell me she liked it (I believe clever was the word she used) and asked were I got it.  She should be visiting the site in the near future.

    Thank you for getting the shirt to me so quickly and thank you for designing a cool shirt.

  74. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    Thanks for telling us about your positive experience, and holding back the story when you’re beaten to within an inch of your life by rabid DC fanboys.

  75. stuclach stuclach says:

    @Josh – I was able to avoid said beating.  Here’s how:  As they angrily charged me I quickly pointed out that the Marvel Zombies who designed the shirt foolishly flipped the axes and that I am wearing the shirt primarily to point out their lack of graphical acumen.  They politely congratulated me and sent me on my way with a series of jovil high-fives.  I then mentioned that they should visit iFanboy.com if they wished to purchase a shirt of their own.  They quickly jotted down the address.

  76. lmiller31 lmiller31 says:

    I just saw this today and really wanted to get one… I’m just too much of a nerd and wouldn’t be able to wear it without it really really bothering me that "Power" isn’t on the bottom and "Responsibility" on the side. At least in terms of Spider-Man/superheroes, as power increases, so does responsibility. Great responsibility does not always bring great power with it. Alfred Pennyworth has a great deal of responsibility, but not really a whole lot of power… Sigh, I am way too nerdy…
