If there were such a thing as a This Fish Needs a Bicycle t-shirt would you buy one?
Designs are in the works (for both bike and fish t’s) and I have every faith that they’re going to be hellawickedcool. I’ll post them as soon as they’re ready. But for now, I’d just like to gague interest. You know, so as not cart before the horse. Or the bike before the fish. Whatever.
Takers?
(As far as price, I’m thinking in the $12-$15 range. Details to come.)
(And, um whether to your pleasure or dismay… they will not be pink. Unless you wash them with red socks or something. But I leave that up to you.)
Update: Okay, Okay! There will be PINK shirts available. Ordering info coming up soon.
Sure. Sounds fun.
yeah depending on the price, i mean as long as it’s not more than a t-shirt should cost yeah
Yes, especially if you use the pretty pinks and oranges that are on your site.
Sure would!
Abso-effing-lutely!
I’d love a fishy shirt!
Hells Yeah!
Yes I think that would be lovely
I would like to pre-order 365 shirts, please. It’ll fit nicely into my plan to only have to do laundry once a year.
oh yes.
because even though this fish has a bicycle, i need him to be reminded of who the fish is and who the bicycle is.
Yes! Pink please!
A Fish shirt would be fabulous!
Yes, and for my friends too!
I would definitely order two.
i would definitely buy a dozen or so. seriously. what great gifts!
Me too! Me too!
Pink? Nah.
Dude, why not expand? Instead of T-shirts, make them guayaberras.
I would buy a Fish Guayabera. Seriously.
I would certainly get one – all the way from Houston, Tx
If you go on a date with me I will buy one and I’ll buy dinner as well.
David~~
Yes, ma’am. And definitely pink!
I’ll take a couple. Can’t wait to see them!!
i’m in
How could one possibly refuse a hellawickedcool ANYTHING? Count me in.
I’ve been reading this blog since June. Reading almost daily…checking it is the first thing I do when I get to work. I would definitely like a t-shirt…reasonably priced, of course. Good luck with the design!
you can put me down for a couple.
That would be cool.
Would you consider expanding your empire to bumper stickers? I’d definitely get one of those too.
you bet your ass! a fish shirt would rock MY face off!
You bet. I think that’s awesome.
I’d buy one only if the price was under $10 and it wasn’t pink.
As they say in the UP – You betcha!! It sounds awesome! I’m in.
Yes indeed, Portland can use a bit of This Fish
I’m in. And I will look forward to explaining it to everyone at the gym in Paris. (If I wore a t-shirt anyplace but the gym, I would surely be deported).
I think I’d look way too gay if I was walking around in a pink and orange This Fish shirt…not that there’s anything wrong with it
I would definetely get one!! i assume the price is in US $!!
I wanted to thank you for your blog as well as for introducing me to dooce.com
HS
But of course!
Oh, me too! Me too!
totally
yup – this long time lurker would even come out of hiding for a t-shirt…i’m guessing it will be pink?
Yes but make real sizes like XL.
I shall buy one and wear it with pride:)
You should do one design for fish and another for bicycles. As a loyal fan, I’d be interested, but pink just ain’t my color.
Yes, yes, and yes again. And I’ll buy them as gifts for my incredibly independent girlfriends who really want to settle down, be taken care of and have a brood. (Kind of, gasp, like me.)
I would purchase one. As long as the t-shirt color was not pink or white. (i’m a redhead and look poor in most shades of pink.)
Maybe, if the shirts are silkscreened.
jesus, people, they’re not pink. it says so right there in the post.
Can I get an autographed one?
Just don’t be an ASS and charge like $7.95 for shipping and “handling”.
I’d spring for one — I’m a fish who loves bikes.
Sad that it won’t be pink, though. You sure that can’t be one option?
Holy trendy-girlfriend-gift, batman! Fish, you are a one-woman marketing machine.
Kudos.
I would buy one, totally.
I’d buy one. Might even get more orders for you by wearing it. This is San Francisco, you know. A lot of the bicycles here are, um, men’s.
MOST DEFINITELY!!!
oh yay, i wasn’t really feeling the whole pink thing, on a button down shirt it’s totally okay, but a t-shirt, that’s pushing it. and to get it for $12, yeah i’d def get one
I’ll want one, but only if you use your logo at the top. I actually wouldn’t mind a ribbed tank top. (They’d probably be cheaper.) Spring, thank God and whoever else, will be here soon.
Fish you are a bad kitty! You keep changing your post so our comments that came before your changes look silly for asking certain questions. At 2:05 p.m. when I posted you didn’t make any mention of colours (like pink) !!!! bad kitty
As an ardent cyclist and a huge fan of fish in general, you betcha! I’d wear it with pride as I bring my pet fish home from the pet store. On my bicycle, of course.
If you can ship it to me in Sydney, Australia, I’ll take one for sure.
Now, would you actually have WORN these shirts before sending them out?
Kidding! KIDDING!!
:: ducks, covers and runs ::
If it were the same pretty colors as your site i would!
Yeah I would if you accepted credit cards. LOL Would it actually say This Fish Needs A Bicycle? Might be a good thing to wear to a bar or club to keep the riff raff away (or attract those who like challenges…hmmm…)
I am sorry I can’t claim that it would “rock MY face off” as someone else posted. But I would definately buy one.
Depending on the design, I’d buy one…and not JUST because I like this site, but because the premise of the whole thing puts my love life (right now)in perspective…
Will the quote be included on the T-shirt? (Are there copyright issues with that notion?)
Also, I like my tees fitted, so will the said tees be those one-size-fits-all kind of Smalls, Mediums, Xtra larges or will they be the body-conscious cutie tees?
If that part of the prototype is still in the works, please consider fitted (versus loose I’ll-only-wear-it-to-bed) kind of T-shirts
1, XL.
Yes, please.
one spagettti strap tank
one fitted v-neck short sleeved tee
one oversized XXL to sleep in
…and I vote for a design as close to your web site graphics as possible.
i’d pay TOP DOLLAR. top dollar, i tell you!
i have a feeling that my want to purchase a shirt is… well rather unimportant and unneccessay due to the outrageous display of support. but i figure i will tell you anyways just so i can say that i actually, tangibly supported the “this fish needs a bicycle” t-shirt. sounds like a great idea.
Could you make long ones like those tshirts one wears as pj’s/frumpy dont feel like getting outta bed kind ?
No. *This* fish *has* a bicycle, and has had him for 22 years, her first, best, and only bicycle. Wearing a slogan on one’s chest advertising for a new bicycle when one already owns the rolls royce of bicycles would be superfluous. And tacky.
But I did vote for you for best blog design.
I would wear one! Especially I pink one. (Guess I’ll have to buy some red socks..) I’m not big on t-shirts, but would always gladly wear one to the gym. Would give me an excuse to chat up some other Londoners…!
Go for it!
Can you send mine to Amsterdam?
Sure, count me in!
i’m with supermom in that i have a bike already – but if we could have, say, a little tank top with the quote on? And i so love your colors.
Me too. A fish-fan from Italy
yes please
)
Yes, definitely!
If you ship them to London, I’m in!!!
Oh yeah!
me too – also pink please, i’m from england so would you ship internationally…? You could sell them on ebay…lol – this is sooooo a great idea…
Yes!!! I want one.
No
interested.
im interested
Any guy that says Yes automatically gets a Chicken McAsskicking.
Um, I want one NOW. I, too, already have a bicycle, but I’m thinking if I crossed out “needs a” and wrote in “loves her”, my little bike would get a chuckle out of it every time I wore it to bed.
Yes Please.
But you would have to do larger sizes for me to wear them. *This* *Fish* is a busty one.
My husband likes your site so wearing a shirt advertising for a Fish would not insult him in the least as he would understand that I am wearing it in support of you, not an extramarital fling.
Semantics issue … those of you who already have bicycles likely would say you need those bicycles, right? Therefore, the slogan doesn’t necessarily suggest you want something extra-relationshipal … just that you need what you have.
It’s a subtle and elegant way to declare the single status. Not that the wearer is on the prowl but probably good for alumni networking events, and other offline marketing tracks where potenial bikes are around.
i’m thinkin’ yes, but this designer has gotta see it first, you know, it’s a design thing.
although if it reads, “this fish needs a bicycle.” don’t know that MY girl would be so impressed with that.
only if pink.
I’ll add a “yes” to the column (or is a phalanx now?). I always wanted to have my artist friends make some designs and then submit them to you but that would have required getting off of my ass.
Looking forward to the prototypes.
(Speaking of the design, perhaps you could have a contest, with people submitting drawings and ideas and then voting on their favorites. Could make for an even stronger buying public and a lot of fun and little work in terms of entries [y'know, if you ever *did* want to take a day off].)
P.S. I look forward to seeing someone wearing one of the shirts around town. I remember once seeing a girl wearing a “Blogger” t-shirt and I wanted to say “nice t-shirt” (like they did “nice pants” in that ad campaign) but I was too shy.
Great idea! This fellow blogger would love herself a nice pink shirt to wear out on her ambitious lil’ expedicions through the big crazy city! To say I’m down would be an understatement.
LOL. I just went back and read the comments about wanting pink/not wanting pink. We must be very annoying commentors.
you MUST make a t-shirt! I’ll buy several.
Oh come on, PINK, PINK, PINK!!!!!!!
Hey guys, she said they would NOT BE PINK! Let’s start a petition for pink!
yea, my friends and i have adopted it as a slogan, too. we’d be down for at least six!
yeah, I’d buy one, and probably know a few people who would be interested too.
Oh yes.. I want to be the 1st Australian to be wearing one…
yes yes. i would sport one.
I visited this blog and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt???
Count me in for two.
Definately!
P.S. Pink is good! It is consistent w/ the this fish vibe!
hell yes!
this fish has been reading your fish for quite a while, and would enjoy with a very large grin sporting such a tee
American Apparel is sweat shop free…
Count me in for one as well. Who has the pink petition because I can’t imagine it not being pink!
Hi…I recommended your site to my daugter in college so that she can see an example of good narrative.
I would buy her a tshirt when they are available, and one for me too! I vote for keeping your blog logo on the shirt, and I wouldnt mind washing it with red sox if necessary.
I would totally buy one.
I love the logo esp. with the tagline! (Don’t change a thing unless it’s broke). So, yes to a tee for me in small! I personally don’t care for the color pink but it works wonders for ur current logo, so reconsider the color. GoGrrlGo!
Definitely would buy a pink one!!
