That was my thought as well. I love it and I'll definitely be buying one for obvious reasons but I do wish I could wear it, well, anywhere at all really.
FUCK I dont start my new job till the 22nd and dont get paid for 2 weeks after that. Any chance that they could keep this shirt up for sale for a while. Hell when I get paid I will buy 2
I really wish they did something different, like why not "Thanks Ryan Davis". I get that it's an in joke with the community and all that, but I'm not the kind of person that's gonna walk around with fuck written on their shirt. Are the other ways to support Ryan's family without buying the shirt? I'd rather all the money go to them instead of part of it going toward a shirt I will never wear.
@figurehead00@sarge1445@bitscreed Hey Duders - If we don't hear anything about how long they'll be up in the next day or so, PM me here and I'll order the shirt and have it sent to you. We'll work out transferring funds through PM individually. It's for a great cause, and this is a small way I can pay it forward to the community.
Haha, knew it'd be that when they started talking about punctuation on the bombcast. It's neat but hopefully there will be a way to donate without buying the shirt (I'd never wear it anyway and would prefer the money to go to Mrs. D than on production/shipping).
@solidwolf52: They may do one like that! Rorie was saying it on twitter. Also they are working on doing just donations on its own. It takes time duder!
Yeah - torn on this - but I would only be able to wear it around the house (combined with my robe, of course). I'm hoping the crew sets up a paypal account or something because I'm willing to come with cash.
This shirt is just about the biggest bummer I can imagine. Don´t get me wrong, it´s clever and for a good cause.
But
I can´t imagine anyone wearing that thing and not feeling completely bummed out. Guess that´s the point? Anyway, GB continues to do its own thing, even in the face of horrible tragedy. I can respect that.
Gah, Giantbomb T-shirts have always been so ugly. I wish they would pull that down and use one of the many tributes that people have made over the past week instead. Or maybe all of them in some sort of collage.

I think the shirt is rad. Anyway, it's less about the shirt and more about supporting Ryan's wife. I might be wrong, but I believe simple text is a lot cheaper than printing some elaborate design. They could have done a straight donation type deal, but it is what it is. They said they're looking into alternatives.

I really would like to see a less profane shirt to honor Ryan. Don't get me wrong: if this is all they offer I will gladly buy one just to support Anne. It would, however, be really great to have a shirt that I could actually wear in public. A shirt that would prompt someone to ask me who Ryan was, and why he was important to me. A shirt that another duder might see and spark them to say "hey, Ryan is the fucking best, I miss him too."
Like I said, I'll buy this shirt for all the reasons it makes sense to do so, but I would hope to see something that will let me honor Ryan in public. That, or give me a way to just donate money directly. I'll do that too.
