As far as I can tell there are no official PRR shirts. I decided to attempt to make one - it didn't go very well, and looks a bit silly when I upload it on one of those online t-shirt makers because the edges are square... So does anyone else have any designs they have made for PRR shirts? I am kind of hoping to make this the t-shirt topic, where people can give each other designs for t-shirts... we'll see what happens Attachments:

There are official t-shirts, they are just only available when the band are on tour as they don't currently have their own online merch store. That said, I see no reason you can't make your own, should you choose to do so!

Ah, okay. Well they won't be coming to New Zealand anytime soon  so yeah, I'll have to make my own if I want them. |

they could do with sorting an online merch store tbh, i suspect it'd do okay.
bigcartel would be a fair shout, though you do have to pay to use it.
my brother has just built his own version but it's not quite ready for other bands sadly.
That design could be cool if it were in the bottom corner of the front with the beams fading out after a little bit. Little PRR logo on the neck at the back, or along one of the beams maybe, and job's a good 'un.
There's potentally complications with the artist and stuff though.

I suspect we may get one when/if the wesite gets finished.
Who are you suggesting the bigcartel for?
If I did actually put it on a shirt, that's what I would (attempt to) do. I'm not great with graphics, which is why I am hoping For someone who is good to contribute.
And why would there be complications? If you mean copyright, there isn't really much they can do about you putting a customised picture on your own shirt, as long as you aren't selling them for profit.
But it would be cool if one day (If the band don't sort out a merch store) we could set up our own fan store with authorisation from the band... Baby steps.

bigcartel for PRR, and also copywrite relative to PRR using old designs. all hypothetical of course, i've no idea what their deal with the creators of those images are.
the lack of profit on your end isn't really relevant, it's still unauthorized reproduction. not that i can see it mattering at all, just saying.

Yeah, I think if you just get one done for yourself, I'd be fairly shocked to find you have any sort of troubles with it. Distributing it to anyone else might be another story...but I don't think that is where you were coming from in the first place really.
I'm not gonna lie, I just wish PRR would make their own merch a little better...I've said it before and I'll say it again, t-shirts that fit girls (that aren't ridiculously bright yellow!) would be wonderful! It's a shame they don't have a merch facility online, it's a good way to distribute too and drive a little bit of money in between tours.

Girls, and the more, ahem, comfortably built gentleman: two horribly neglected markets amongst indie band merchants the world over... That is true. 65daysofstatic official t-shirts are actually made one of the members, and one of the girls on there asked if they could make some female ones. He replied "I thought girls just wore guys/baggy shirts these days anyway..."  Being a guy, the only problem I have is being a small 15 year old.

I'm pretty sure you are fine as long as you aren't selling the shirts yourself. |

65daysofstatic shirts are printed on fruits of the loom like everyone else! They are almost all designed by Lord Bunn but he's not in the band.

Yes, but what do you mean "they are printed on fruits of loom like everyone else!"
And I know lord bunn designs their shirts, but those are the official shirts... and he does tour with them sometimes
