The designs last year were actually kinda cute but not really anything I'd wear in public. But my main concern...

...is how the fuck do I know you're not gonna dox me via my credit card info ya faggot?

Null addressed this earlier in the thread, but he's using a vendor for the merch who will have their own payment processing system. If it's in the US, it'll have to be PCI compliant which means even the company itself cannot/should not save the information in any way (tho many places online aren't actually PCI compliant, they're lying). A prepaid card is a good solution, and paypal is also a very secure way to pay. Do not pay with online check anywhere.
 
I can only speak for myself, but I'd wear the shit out of a t-shirt with kiwi slices arranged to resemble a Dropbox logo. DROPDOX below it, the entire thing printed green on black.
 
Here's the winning design:

Stickers seem like a good idea because so many people put stickers on their computers and it doesn't rely on the person needing to wear the item which some may not want to do.

I know you're trying to do fewer female items, but if you do, I would suggest little metal pins like this:

These things are fucking crack for all the non-normie women I know. They all have a collection. I have like 10 of them I didn't even buy, people just give them to me.
The pins are great because they are relatively low priced, like $10-$15. The cost adds up, but people don't notice because they are buying them as one offs. But once they have a few, they want to "add to the collection" and it's very easy to spend another $10-$15 on a pin. They wear them on jackets, bags, shirt collars etc.

I believe these are fairly easy to find a manufacturer for, based on the fact I've seen kind of young artists who don't know a lot about manufacturing making and selling these. They are probably not dropping a lot of money on huge runs off them either. Vendors at comic book and anime collections have a ton of these but they're still selling.
 
Had some time on my hands, and I love a good prompt. Here's some sketches.
The first one is in the style of a 90's computer T-shirt, like vintage IBM or something. Second one I got wary of drawing, but it's kind of a take on the Ghostbusters and Looney Tunes logos. If anybody likes the "Archive Everything" nearly as much as I do, I'll send a better file to Null.

Secondly, a "Mad at the Internet" shirt sounds great, but I think the ideas floating around are a bit too... How should I say it... Elegant. Here's a design that I think truly captures the spirit of people getting angry at the internet.

And finally, even though it's too rude to be official, a suitably FABULOUS "Faggot Ass Clothes" design for all my fellow Kiwifaggots to reclaim the word from Chris Sabat with. If any jackass wants to seriously destroy their Inkjet printing this on an iron-on sheet, PM me for the TIFF.
Your funeral.

I would also kill a man for a Kind Regards hoodie.
 
I want stickers so i can put them all over my laptop and my car. That way I can be an irl representative of the kiwi farms user. So when I am sitting in Tim Hortons or McDonald's all day on my laptop, people will see an unshaven slob in sweat pants or basketball shorts and say, "I bet he is really somebody on that website."
 
I know you just said shirts, but I had the idea for a phone case with part of Russ Greer’s face on it. I can’t draw, but he used to hold his striped phone case up to block his face In photos, so one with that face would be funny. the cartoon version he used in his book would work too. Plus, Josh would get a bonus lawsuit threat! If you don’t read Russ’s thread you may not get it, which makes me think any specific cow thing won’t work as well.

I have a Kiwi sticker but would buy another, especially in a different design, I could start a collection.

As I said before, a long sleeve v neck tee would be my top pick, with a zipper hoodie 2nd. OT both. :).

I like @BitCoinAssassin’s design!

Last year I used PayPal with no issues. Shipping was a bit slow for those of us used to two day Amazon shipping but was within the timeframe promised.
