ooooh, im glad i started up this thread

i should make something like a "Photoshop Challenge" except call it "Merch Challenge"

what do you think?? i'll need a bita help setting a webbie up, but i think if enough people like it, then maybe it might work

Ally

That's just another excuse for a thread. Why not post all your merch ideas in a. the merch thread or b. the photoshop thread.

What TLE merch we will buy if it will be avaliable it's -
- thin tie with classic instruments logo. Like Green day's tie with AI heart-granate.
- wall calendar with pages for every month with photos.
- wall clock
- belt with "Roll on" stuff and maybe with SOE arrows
- earrings and piercing stuff with classic logo in little button red white or black

i'll second the tie and the calendar idea - they're great - yay Madtwins :)

State_Of_Emergency

i'd buy it... too bad my ears aren't pierced... I'd buy non-pierced ones though

If you "don't want to" get your ears pierced, then you "don't want to" wear earings, so there's no point complaining.

But i can pierce your ears for free. I know how to do it with a stapler.

That's because people who want to wear earrings get their ears pierced. So there's no market for shitty clip ons.

clip ons freakin' hurt anyway. I dunno why anyone would wear them.

State_Of_Emergency

not clip-on's... screw ons... like, they are ten times better than stupid clip-ons

Clip-on's suck for me ... i hate em

They should make different styles of shirts, not just T-shirts. Like a bowling shirt, as Glenn said. Or a polo shirt, and instead of the classic Polo Ralph Lauren logo have the bass/guitar/drums logo.

They'd probably be more expensive than traditional tees, but I reckon they'd sell really well!

Bec

11-07-2006, 03:34 PM

I agree with the different styles of shirts, as nice as the other shirts are, I have so many band t-shirts now so it would be nice to have a bit of a change.
The belt buckle, calendar, donna cover and tie would all be awesome too. :)

And I'd love one of those FHOI suitcases, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Jodez

11-07-2006, 04:52 PM

maybe..........

mobile phone covers?.....shoes......pencil cases (haha)...ummm there are so many things that could be made with the guys stuff on it....the belt idea and calender are cool. a guitar would be awsome, wallets?, wallpaper lol ....ill think of more...

mel_bound

11-07-2006, 04:56 PM

There's TLE Wallets in the online store.. or atleast there used to be.

I was thinking of making a TLE tie, but.. eh. Just as long as they don't sell themselves away to a bit company and make showbag-quality products. That'd be bad. But I know they wouldn't :D

TLE_rok

11-07-2006, 05:27 PM

A doona cover would be pretty cool. Like with their faces on and then the other side of the doona cover could be the bass/guitar/drums logo.

one of my friends and I were really thinking about that one not long ago, we were going to send them an email or letter to ask about it but we havent gotton around to it

i'd prefer a button-up collared shirt with a little logo on it, like this gretsch shirt http://www.gretschstore.com/cgi-bin/store/html/images/dress_shirt_640.jpg

looks respectable

i would never wear alot of the stuff in the merch section, i just don't think it looks any good. like any of the jackets for instance.

The calendar is a great idea!

I'd like a another run on the TLE temp tatts, as i used my last one in September... :)

And there are some unofficial clocks on ebay every now and then.

I'd like to see guitar straps with tle logos, belts woud be hot too. Um, suspenders. oh, and more live dvds!

11-07-2006, 08:24 PM

u know, the cute cartoon drawings of the drums, guitar and double bass as seen on their purevolume page....but without the word "The Living End" at the bottom preferably

All it takes is four words...

BRING BACK THE BOXERS!!

Also, pretty much, I'll get anything with the bass, guitar and drums logo. Its the greatest logo EVER. It sums up so much, not just TLE. Having said that, it has to be done well. Like the neclaces, not a fan. If they'd been made like the keyrings but obviously, smaller, THEN we'd be talking!

cammo

11-08-2006, 06:29 PM

I have a Dallas Crane beach towel so a TLE one would be cool

Belt Buckle (the larger kind not your regular one)

Double pluggers would be AWESOME

TLE boxers

Lanyard

CD wallet

Singing bottle opener that plays TLE songs when you crack a stubbie

Bar runner

One of those little cooler bag esky things that holds a 6 pack

Black Cat pet collars? (with the TLE logo on them in silver)

Dirty Man facewipes (lol, so that one's never gonna happen)

Don't Shut The Gate padlocks (Heh.)

Long Live The Weekend... I guess they could do a calendar or something for that.

If they were ever to do a magazine thing there's always Headlines / Read About It / Tabloid Magazine.

Short Notice sticky-notes.

Enough of the named stuff: I'd like to see miniature models of the boys instruments, as mentioned previously in the post...

Action figures? Holy shit that'd be cool... put 'em in poses (Chris jumping from Andy's drumkit :D)... Chris could come with a gretch, an extra jacket, and a little beer bottle that fits in his hand (ala E-Boogie). Scott could have a double-bass... something else? Andy gets a drumkit / sticks.

Can't think of any serious merchandies though. Action figs'd be mad.

on a more serious note;
I like the idea of a TLE cardigan- i just think it would be really retro. Just a straight up black cardigan with a logo sewn onto the breast and maybe something bigger on the back.

TLE hoodie- it's cold in some places alright!

I'm talkin' a LETTERMAN JACKET! Oh yeeeeaaaah! I tried to find a red and black one online, but the only one i found was leaher which wouldn't be as awesome.

They're just ringtones, jeez

Aaron

11-13-2006, 04:30 PM

Exactly. All they function to do is alert you af an incoming call. Downsampling an otherwise quality piece of music makes it sound terrible. You're also subjecting other people in your vicinity to something inherently annoying, which by association does nothing positive for the band's publicity. Only a few seconds of the chosen song are ever heard anyway. Not at all what (most) music was intended for.

Sorry, but I fucking hate ringtones.

Jawn

11-13-2006, 06:57 PM

I hate the concept of having to BUY the ringtone rather than having a song as a ringtone.

You are essentially paying for the same product twice. You bought the song already as a single, or on the album.. and are buying it again to use as a ringtone. Thats silly. Its quite easy to make your own ringtone anyway, and the idea of preying on peple who havent figured this out annoys me.

I reckon if enough of us demand (or maybe politely suggest) them they'll get made... At least I hope so.

Madtwins

11-23-2006, 11:49 PM

Thanx for comment but we did it si quick because we made some clothing design before and shirts as well. And main reason that we also want to have such shirts, for our friends or for ourselves :)

Don't be so wonder at our skills. It's just working with band experience.
This are Mad Heads XL bowling shirts which we designed for summer stage performances. It was custom work. It was sewed by local tailor, but here it's just quite impossible to find a good textile as US bowling shirts are made! Checkered textle it's totally rare - so it was printed on textile stripes and sewed to shirts.
