Has the head office decided on making merchandise available to the masses? It'll help promote the game. :aok
-
I would buy (and wear) an Aces High hat.

I'd buy an AHII SHEEEEEP!!
-
I'd buy a T-shirt if it doesn't cost too much.
-
But it has to be a pocket T... :aok
And a hat would be very cool..
-
Bibs and onesies for um... well you know they type. Id take a T shirt and a hat in a second if offered
-
At one time Aces High did have merchandise available. I have aces high coffee cup and hat.
Availability I don't know at this time.
-

Here's a prototype... This is of course is the Rook model, since I am sure the Rooks would be the primary customers...

We give out AH scenario patches to folks who fly in scenarios. Here are examples of what they look like:

I got the pull over polo shirt w/ the AH logo on it.
-
Heck, I want a Quad 50 and 10k round of ammo for each :) At a discount price of course :)
Oops, that just may have put me on the "Watch" list, if I'm not already there due to being a prior military member, and retired to boot :lol

They used to sell mousepads, t-shirts, coffee mugs, hats... pretty much anything that could hold a print. I wouldn't mind owning a pair of wings in the AH logo. I figure by now I probably earned them!
-
AH "Military" cap...the flat topped field cap from the 50s worn by US forces (also Fidel Castro wore one). currently styled as a "lifestyle" cap by many manufacturers (see Puma.com for an extensive line-up of the style: note i am not pimping puma, just saying they have lots to look at for ideas) in Midnite (USAF) Blue, Brown, Tan, Red & PINK (for our lady players and our AH widows)
AH T-shirt...with or without a pocket. And for pete's sake, put a small logo on the front & if it must be so a large one on the back with a pithy saying like "Vive la DISCO!"
AH coffee mug...in stainless steel with your in-game name & squad in one side & your favorite plane on the other
AH ash-tray...for those that must do the nasty suck-and-blow routine :D
-
I'd buy a shirt and wear it with pride! It'd be awesome if HTC did this.

I've got an AH ball cap. Pretty nice too... Join the gathering of legends in Dayton this year, I think they'll have T's.

actually when i spoke to pyro on the phone he had said they would send hats out for us, from what i had gathered, im under the impression they will be a new design from what we all got last year at dayton. HTC was awsome about sending us tshirts, mouse pads and hats last year! thanks again HTC!!!
i have one of each and a tshirt from the year prior also...matter of fact i have my AH tshirt on right now! woot woot! yayyyyyyyyyyy me!!! :)
-
I would buy 1 or 2 T-Shirts, and an AHII bandanna
-
I don't play as much as I used to... But I'm definately still a AH advocate...
I'll take one or two Tshirts, hats, pullovers... whatever....
When and Where?

I'll be in the Texas Hill Country kayaking the lower guadalupe the weekend of the 4th. If you see a blue/yellow/green camo style Dagger Charleston it'll probably be me. If I have my helmet on it'll say Shuffler on it. That is all.

I'm about 30 minutes north of the Guadalupe. Haven't been there since they only let you bring a six pack with you.

You could get that guy Vince (slapchop,sham wow) to sell them on TV. :rolleyes:
-
The solution:
HTC partners with one of their local T-Shirt/Hat shop. One with a high quality product and good customer service. HTC licenses their logo to be put on a few items, including the FlyAcesHigh.com web address on every item. T-Shirt/Hat shop is allowed space on the HTC Home Page to advertise the Aces High gear.
Aces High enthusiasts have access to some AH2 stuff to wear... Win!
T-Shirt/Hat Shop makes a little money on a product they don't have to print until ordered... Win!
HTC gets advertising at the cost of a clicky ad on their Home Page... Win!
HTC buying the printed product in bulk, then trying to peddle them while maintaining inventory... Lose! Not a good business model!
HiTech, these products could be made available with little hassle to you. You just need to find a T-Shirt/Hat shop who wants to get on board.

in another thread 3 or so years ago, I posted our squadrons online store, in the below linked thread:
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,186110.msg2153884.html#msg2153884
here is our squad's store url:
http://www.cafepress.com/damneddrivethru
have not done anything with it for a good while now, but can make any custom squadron/handle/username shirt or hat or whatever , a person desires......... if interested PM please, to keep it off this discussion

More trouble than it is worth. Storing and handling is overhead most can do without.

There is no storing or handling for HTC. That's why you bring in a company that does T-shirts/Hats etc as their primary business. They already carry the T-Shirt and Hat "blanks". Order is placed, they screen print or embroider the item and ship it out.
HTC never touches the item, but gets the advertising. T-Shirt shop makes some cash from the products, essentially just a new customer pool for them. And of course, we (the community), get the stuff we would like to have.

This is exactly what the merchandiser who handles our squad merchandise does. No real cost to HTC involved(with the right merchandiser).

Oh G why did I not think of that.
Thats what we did do, and as I said, it was not worth it.

HiTech,
We should contact you before we make any "merchandise" with your logo, correct?

My guess is you've never dealt with hats and shirts... pens and such.
The price of single run items would be prohibitive to most individuals. You buy 1... setup takes just as long as setup for 100. Only the cost of setup is on that 1 item instead of spread between 100.

Well it seems it has been tried and has died. Oh well, I still have my Pig ware!

HiTech,

Yes you should. It will almost always not be a problem to use it, but for us to remain protected, we must give you permission.
HiTech

Thats VERY cool... Most companies wouldn't even think of doing things that way..
Company name, trademarks, and all that!!!

This isn't the 20th century anymore sir. Make em your darn self! ROI is usually around 172%. Not the best but then again, the increase in morale would be good for the troops.

I`d buy AHBeer
already drink 71squad beer
(http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff274/lowerbrook/beer_bottle71.jpg)
-
HT, why not just make a few select items available for pre-order with the understanding that once enough orders are placed you'll do a one-time production run, bill the members and ship the merchandise.
Make it a simple automated solution, allow memebers the option of cancelling if it's taking too long, and maybe provide a small meter showing how close each item is to being ready to produce.
Just an idea.
-
Am I the only one remembering the merchandise they had years back? At the 06 con I think they gave a bunch out as door prizes at the banquet. Dale, was that when it ended?
If I had more money at that time in my life I would have gotten at least a hat, now I'd live a hat too as some others have mentioned. IIRC the store had hats, mugs, shirts, mouse pads, and a few other items.

nope...... I remember them offering merchandise...... and I called and got permission before I used any AH logo's including the Con T-Shirts we had made for those who wanted them........
they even offered T-Shirts, Hats and mouse pads for the screenshots contest ( the 1st contest anyhows )
RattFink was spot on in asking that question for permission :aok

Wouldn't it be a hoot if in addition to the AH logo on a pocket T, above or below the Ah logo, one could have their squads nose art? This would look uber!

I'm a bit cornfused by HiTech's response. Seemed kinda frustrated there.
And I think I know why.
many times when the demand seems to be there, it's can very well be just a very small vocal minority that will also not spend a single penny.
Been down that road. They don't always come when you build it. :)

TAMPA, Fla. – Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.
Guess we need a new salesman.Just saw this.

I want a Mitsubishi Lancer, painted like a Kamikaza Zeke and a BMW with German crosses and winter cammo.

I would buy AH merchandise. Coffee cups, shirts, hats. And yes, even thongs (the old lady is an exotic dancer.)

thongs... old lady... exotic dancer...
Just for the record... These words really shouldn't ever appear in the same paragraph. :D

Although there have been many types made, I don't think it will out sell this stuff.

cafepress.com is an option. They do all the work, do direct shipping, customers pay them, etc.
Basically all that has to be done is upload of whichever graphics y'all would like on there (such as squadron emblems, AH emblems, whatever), then customers make the purchases direct from the site & the cafepress 'owner' gets a portion of the sales. The monthly fee is tiny.
Basically if you sell one thing a month it covers the fee.
-
Funny, I was just thinking......I already have an AH baseball cap, 2 actually, although one of them has "Jenga" written on the back. An AH 2001 con T shirt. Oh and an AH branded jacket with an embroided P-40 on the back, which I still owe Ripsnort a beer for.
