Introducing the new and improved RMN store!

PrintWhat's that? You can't get enough RMN apparel? That what we love you, you little walking advertisements.
Awhile back, SB Nation launched a new central hub store for all of its blogs, and since RMN isn't big on the whole "early adopter" thing (we plan on having podcasts on iTunes by the 2016 Presidential Election!), we've just now gotten around to getting it set up. At this point, we've got our two current basic designs (the "Mob Mentality" shirt and the "Unoriginal Hacks" shirt), accompanied by both a black and gold reinterpretation of the Defend the Arena shirts sponsored by RMN for ZouCrew last February. Also note that the good people of our store have also offered all gold designs in two different shades of gold, allowing you to take sides in the never ending battle of which shade of gold Mizzou fans should actually wear. Freedom to choose your gold: The definition of personal liberty.
So become an RMN uber-member by basking in the reflected glory of your wise taste in both Web sites AND consumer apparel by buying an RMN T-shirt. You want it. The economy wants it. GO FORTH AND CONSUME!
**Side note: We'll also be holding contests soon for new designs. Do you have an awesome idea? Let us know! Just remember: Be mindful of trademark and NCAA merchandising laws. The term "Mizzou" may not be used, nor may any university names or marks/logos. Player names/likenesses are also verboten. We like Atchison and TB, but there's no need to drag their lawyerin' into this.

To clarify
We can’t use “Mizzou” but “The Zou” is fair game? Also, complete likeness rights are out? What if it’s an original/really altered image?

Anything we propose, we need to run through SBN legal.
I’m not sure whether or not the athletic department has trademarked The Zou or not. I don’t know that altered images are clear, either.

So, sadly
I assume your brilliant “All your Arch Rivals and Braggin Rights Are Belong To Us” won’t make it to an RMN T-Shirt as well in light of those pesky asforementioned copyright laws?
"Wherever you go, there you are" - Buckaroo Bonzai
That may be a matter of debate.
“Busch Braggin’ Rights” would probably be off limits. Not sure about “Braggin Rights” or “Bragging Rights”
I had a great idea..
..of doing dread the dreads for Dixon, Pressey, & Denmon.. in a mocking effort of “Fear The Beard” from KSU
but alas, Dixon and Pressey both cut their dreads off.
"As loud as the ovations are for big 3s or for thunderous dunks, some of the biggest roars you hear at Mizzou Arena these days are for steals, shot clock violations, and forcing opponents into timeouts in their own backcourt. Just as Anderson has crafted himself a team built on defensive intensity, he's built himself a fan base that echoes that same value system." - RPT
I wonder if that got the Amish vote for them.

Might I suggest taking "Rock M Nation" mainstream.
Designs focused on the phrase “Rock M Nation” without the .com at the end.
Use your logo at the top of the website with the state likeness or a likeness of the actual Rock M. Rock M Nation could come to represent our entire fanbase.
I picture a grey T-shirt with Rock M Nation in Black block letters on the front. “CoMo” underneath.
if you google Rock M
mostly what you get are images posted on this site…but not a good image of the Rock M.

We used to do branding on Tiger's Lair with the Rock M logo on the top left
And everyone assumed it was just a student organization, no one thought to bother navigating to our site.
I’m still very in favor of a shirt somewhat depicting the Rock M. Anyone able to design something to this effect earns five Schrute bucks.
I had an idea for a kick ass image
but nobody could get me a good, high-res image of the Rock M that was square with the rest of the world. Seems like every high-res pic I could find was either from too low of an angle or from one of the sidelines. I would imagine the pic I want could be gotten easily by standing somewhere above Marching Mizzou’s seats and zooming in.
ill do it but i prefer payment in stanley nickels.
much more stable currency and with the economy as it is…
capital letters suck.
Do you guys get a cut?
Have you taken the RMNation Survey? $500 to a worthwhile charity if we win.

Shameless Self Promotion
As a Business School alum, I’m all for it.
I like the Rock M Nation idea. Don’t know how to drive more traffic without adding the [dot] com though.
There's the option of putting whatever on the front and "rockmnation.com" on the back.
But, is it worth an extra $4 to anyone to put the text on the back? Is anyone in the market for a $21 tee?
$21 tee? Sure if it keeps the rif-raf out!

I would pay $21 for a T shirt if said Rock M Nation Hoops on the front
and had the roster of players on the back.
Nicknames only of course.
Partystarter
Predator
Kimmeh
etc.
I might pay more for that one.
did you have to eat the money first
or did you………………man I am just confused by that.

Ever heard the marketing concept that is
“I don’t care what you say about me, just spell my name right.”
That is kind of what this could be. If the fanbase believes that they are the “Rock M Nation,” traffic will not be a problem.
I'll buy these for $3 when they end up at A.J. Wright
right next to the rack of Milton Bradley Rangers jerseys.

I think this is ghtd36’s innovation, but I would buy a shirt that was simply yellow text on black repeating:

swarmswarmswarmswarm

The darker one is gold
the brighter one is daisy….Our colors are black and gold (specifically old gold), not black and daisy.
That's all well and great.
But when you’re the one dude in gold in a sea of daisy thanks to the sales from the Tiger Team Store, you can try explaining that.

will there ever be RMN hoodies available to buy?
Great Oden's Raven I love Mike "The Predator" Dixon!
If there's a good push for initial RMN Gear sales...
We’ll think about expanding the line.

Bingo.
Cool shirt ideas are all well and good, but … “Rock, Flag and Tiger” seemed to be pretty popular a year or two ago, and we sold like three shirts.

In light of the now infamous April 1st, 2010 RPT post
Perhaps the Formation of the Flex-bone on the front
with the text; Spread-Bone underneath
back; Who says you need a Fullback?

i'm relatively new around here still
but shouldn’t there be some discussion as to including a reference to a nunchuk being thrust in an upward motion? also, we’ll want to make sure there are big and tall sizes for when that 7-0 center finally arrives on campus. rawr.
