Title: AH Merchandise
Post by: Marco on August 16, 2017, 09:16:17 AM
Just curious, when did HTC stop selling AH merch? (hats, shirts, mugs, etc.)  :headscratch:

When I was hooked back in 2001/2002, I recall being presented an AH HTC light tan cap from my father, which I more recently have been unable to find.

My grandfather, father, and I all had one back in the day, and odds are I wore it too much and it frayed and had to be thrown out.

I believe we were only selling for about 1 year.

I considered the hat a sort of game/flight memorabilia.

Thank you for the swift reply, Dale.

No need for a poll, we know how much interest there was the last time we did so.

Two words - Cafe Press

Not sure I would recommend a third party to start selling Aces High trademarked stuff, but designing and buying for a couple of items for personal use may fall within the 'Fair Use' principle.

Lately, I've been seeing blasphemers wearing shirts saying "aces high" that have nothing to do with the game.

And I'm not talking iron maiden fans.

Some girl get's a tiny rose on her hip and her whole family start wearing these.

Not to bump an old post, but after a ton of digging through old boxes of stuff from my childhood, I came across the very hat I spoke of in my original post. It's taken some love, but not in too shabby of shape 15ish years later. :salute

Heh... Just pulled out my old Aces High Hat ( and Shirt and mouse pad )

My hat looks just like your's except the bill is black, has a brass  adjustable clamp on the back

My shirt and mouse pad has the original Aces High splash screen picture on them....

Back during Aces High through Aces High II, I ran a Cafe Press "premium" store, to where I could have as many different items as I could think of, and did special orders where squaddies could send me screen shots and I would put them on the back, with their handle on the front under or over our Damned squad patch.....

I of course asked and got permission from Dale(hitech) first, to use the Aces High Logo, etc....

Not sure how hitech ( and HTC) feel about it these days... Our Damned Gift Shop at cafe Press was open from like 2003/2004 up until 2010 until right after Jordi had finished up with the AirWarrior and Damned squad and friends reunion he hosted.....

I did a lot of one off designs back then for different people in the game some from other squads, some who didn't fly in squads....

Several other squads started creating their own stores several months+ after the word got out....

If I remember correctly I created and opened our store about a year and a half+ before HTC first offered merchandise
