1. A buddy of mine @rkd025 is going to Paradiso Festival this year and asked me today when #Steemthreads was going to be ready as he wanted a shirt for this event tomorrow...

So as some of you may know, I have begun and undertaking I have dubbed #Steemthreads, a project trying to provide the Steem community with a fairly priced, easily accessible Steem/SBD accepting clothing project! My friends are aware of it and one a couple of them will be attending Paradiso this year, and @rkd025 and I got to talking today about how he could start off his Steem Career with posts from Paradiso2017... which got me thinking, why not send him with a prototype #SteemThreads shirt? There was a on demand printer at the mall, and while the quality of the product might not be as top notch as the company we will be drop shipping through, the point was still the same, get Steem in front of eyeballs. So we jumped onto my laptop, whipped up a design and headed off to the mall.

2. So after 30 minutes and a few clever designs we were off to the local mall to get a few things printed with the design we chose... the tank top definitely came out better.

The Front:

The takeaways from this design is that we can go much larger, and much taller in our next design, as it would look much nicer to fill the entire space. We also realized we will most definitely want to offer a more 'basic' design for people who do not want the photography design, so we'll most likely launch with both types of designs and go from there.

The Back:

The back came out rather well, we can still enlarge the text and go much taller though so we can make it easier to read and also make it stick out more so. Perhaps adding a domain below will be more effective as well? Or maybe an area for people to put there own usernames on each shirt? Still exploring these options for customization...

3. These designs, plus many more will be coming to #Steemthreads soon and all will be purchase-able at any quantity for under $25. Hoodies, Hats, Scarfs, Shirts & bags are all on our 'ideas' list.. but feel free to suggest other items you'd like a #Steem logo on!

The initial launch designs will include the above design with some minor alterations, available on t-shirts, tank tops & hoodies. We also plan to launch a more basic design with just the Steem logo, and possibly the back text and/or a plain back, we'll do have to do a poll and see what people think...

Now for the fun part: The #Steemit / @Zappl / @SteepShot / ChainBB / #Steemfest Giveaways & Contests that we can do with this service, all through the power of upvotes!

Soon after launch, we can vastly expand the designs available on the website to include any and all of the cool Steem related designs, memes or even brands such as Zappl or SteepShot, we can do exclusive runs so people get collectable shirts, we can even clothe the homeless via this platform and a little good will, and SBD. Crazy huh? Big plans ahead folks. Stay Tuned.
