Score!

I'm the proud future owner of a 2011 Championship shirt in classic blue.

This will look exceptional next to my vintage Wildstang Official Team Shirt, year 2000.

I was hoping they'd be selling robots.

Yeah me too, except I was hoping for custom gearboxes... Ah well shirts are awesome too!

Team 254, you should sell custom gearboxes! We'd totally buy them!

great idea !
I got a shirt to celebrate the World Champs of FRC !

Can you say a few words about the process to setup an online store on your website ?

1. Are you locked in with one t-shirt company ?
2. Did you have to write any custom code to embed the store ?

I think having team online stores could be a great springboard for inventions and fundraising ...

How do you order?

Thanks

You have to be careful with this one if you are thinking about teams selling FRC related robot items. From the 2011 manual definition of VENDOR:

B. The VENDOR shall not be a “wholly owned subsidiary” of a team or collection of teams. While there may be some individuals affiliated with both a team and the VENDOR, the business and activities of the team and VENDOR must be completely separable.

Man, I wish more teams would (or could, I don't know how difficult this was to set up) do this. There are some awesome shirts out there that I would love to have, and as I can't make it to nationals very often and in MI we don't see outside teams, this is a cool way to get some cool shirts and help out other teams, as I assume whatever profit they make goes to the team.

Yeah, and we'd be the first ones to buy their 2008 work of art.

Sorry, but we have no plans for selling anything but clothing.

The current store consists of a few simple pages on our team website, one for each design. Each page has a simple iframe to a page hosted by Spreadshirt, the company we are using to fulfill all of the orders. It was quite easy to setup. We could easily add additional pages to our site linking to new designs hosted by any company and we are not locked in to using one provider.

Right now, the store is just to help people get our t-shirts easily. We are currently not selling anything for profit.

I got a message saying "Sorry, but the coupon code entered is not valid with the selected product color.". Do you know what colors are valid/why aren't all colors valid?
Thanks,

Yeah, I can't put anything into my cart. When will this be fixed? I would love to buy a 2011 WC T-SHIRT.
