It's probably worth pointing out, as the images don't really show it well, that the Rogue Trooper t-shirt will be charcoal grey and the Dredd one will be navy blue (the Durham Red camisole is black, as it appears in the piccy).

Yeah, we've got a whole host of t-shirt designs planned, including more along the lines of the ones we've just previewed, updated versions of the classic ones, various logos and symbols, and so on, many of which are based on suggestions from the boards. We'll be rolling them out gradually over the next few months.

Dredd = Ezquerra
Rogue = Gibbons
Red = Harrison
Am I right?

naff?
They're 100% better than most of the other tee designs we get. Matter of Life and Death? That one was lame. And what about all those ones in the late eighties with "I am the Law" all over them. No, these are much better.
And why no Rogue trooper in blue?

Hey, I had a 'I am the Law' T-Shirt in the eighties and it was one of my faves, in huge Bright Red letters in the classic Judge Dredd style.
Everyone seems to be tunning from the phrase 'I am the Law', nothing to do with Sly I hope.

Naff? No!
They're just more subtle and make you look less like a walking billboard for 2K. I'd rather buy one of these.

Mainly because we'd already decided on a navy blue shirt for Dredd, and we didn't want to do two the same colour.
The original idea was to do rogue in black on an army green shirt, but we couldn't find a decent shirt in that colour, so we ended up with charcoal grey, and orange works very nicely on that colour.

I think they look great - and I agree they're much more subtle than the old style tees.
I might buy one, assuming they're eventually available on the site or through the comic.
But wouldn't this be a great excuse for a drawing of Red in the camisole? It'd be a great advert!
Cold shower time.

I asked for the price in the chat room, and Wake said he didn't know, and probably wouldn't find out until Saturday (Bristol).

Gah, my fiendish plan, foiled. I was hoping the strangley hypnotic patterning on the shirts would lull you into handing over all your worldly goods for a 2K t-shirt. It's not easy being a super-villain, you hear!?
But seriously, we haven't set a price yet, because we haven't received the finished items, and we want to see the quality before we set a price. All I can say is they will be more expensive than previous t-shirts, simply because this time round we're aiming for a much higher quality of print and shirt.
We're hoping that the fans would prefer to pay more for an item that will last than paying a smaller amount for a t-shirt that will shrink to barbie-size after the first wash.
