Sizes

Folks, we’re trying something a little different. With our traditional store, we were able to have shirts printed on a one-per basis. If one person wanted a shirt, they’d buy it, it would be manufactured and shipped to them.

For this one… we have to buy them before we sell them. We’re not a t-shirt warehouse, so we can’t keep loads of these things in stock. We have ordered just a few, six large and six extra-large. We had to pay for them all up-front.

Don’t tell Mrs BRK that we did this, OK?

But the point is, we’ve never done a product like this before, we’ve never used PayPal in this manner before. This is uncharted territory for us and we really don’t want to… lose our shirt. /apologize

The BRK Gorillain Shirt comes in two sizes: Large and Extra Large.

The BRK Gorilladin Shirt comes in one color: Sand. (It shows off the pure-black text and graphics very nicely.)

The BRK Gorilladin Shirt costs $12.99, regardless of size.

The BRK Gorilladin Shirt requires a flat $2 for shipping, continental US only.

If we have a good reaction, we will always consider expanding sizes, colors, and shipping destinations.

We’re actually pretty nervous about this. Please, be kind and patient with us.

(And yes, we have at least one more shirt coming, too…)

  3. Aoq on November 5th, 2008 11:18 am

    How can I order 3 at once?

  4. Warlord Darkwood on November 5th, 2008 11:26 am

    BRK, That is the best shirt ever. I ordered on and I hope to get it for my Wrath launch party. And I know that my GF will want one for herself once she sees mine.
    Goriladins are the best :-)

    Warlord Darkwood and Itchy his faithfull companion send their best

  5. Kes on November 5th, 2008 11:27 am

    Can they be shipped to Canada (Ontario)? I’d totally buy one if they can be.

  6. Kadou on November 5th, 2008 11:29 am

    Awesome! Sparky (my gorilladin) will be so happy to see me showing off how proud I’m of him when I wear it! Now we need one for the Devilsaurs!

  7. Senora Shadowsong EU on November 5th, 2008 11:44 am

    Wow BRK does it again, that shirt is made of 99% Win – 1%Polyester.

    Shame us European hunters cant order one, maybe when you get the logistics sorted?

    Have you considered a partnership with Jinx Clothing to push the BRK Label?

    Keep up the good work mate!

  8. Aoq on November 5th, 2008 11:46 am

    You know you could setup a store on Cafepress.com and sell them through there. No upfront costs, wider variety of sizes available, etc. Easy check out for everyone.

    If you want to expand your offerings, that might be the way.

    Dang missed it but shouldn’t be – I’ll just tank the d@mn dirty things myself :)

  17. Korbn on November 5th, 2008 12:46 pm

    Hey BRK

    Please order some more shirts mate ….

    please ….

  18. Telsaddi on November 5th, 2008 12:48 pm

    I would definitely love to have had one of these beauties… Cafepress might be a good idea, plus you can look into other items like stickers, mugs, etc.

  19. Thelastdeadmouse on November 5th, 2008 1:00 pm

    Thelastdeadmouse aka. Durante

    Please order more BRK. Bubbles was the first pet to tank Gruul, and he’s making angry eyes at me for not buying one already…. I’m scared.

  20. Fluffywumpki of Dethecus on November 5th, 2008 1:15 pm

    Curse you, Need-To-Sleep!!! Sold out on viewing :(

  21. Cigs on November 5th, 2008 1:19 pm

    Sort out shipping to the UK BRK. It’s no big deal. Just more postage. I want one!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Daruntis on November 5th, 2008 1:22 pm

    Less than an hour and it sold out. I think it’s a success. Need more so I can have one. Great shirt.

  23. Fikkle on November 5th, 2008 1:31 pm

    Now, we at For The Horde wouldn’t dream of giving business advice to the giant BRKWWA, but it strikes us that there is a huuuge amount of interest in this here shirt. Perhaps BRKWWA could take pre-orders, pre-paid and all that jazz, figure out exactly how many are wanted, and then do up a secondary order of awesomeness… Just a thought. Oh, and if you’d be willing to extend shipping to the Frozen North, I’d be down for covering the extra costs.

    Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!

  25. Ryagas on November 5th, 2008 1:36 pm

    I would love to order one.I 2nd Fikkle’s suggestion. That shirt is one I’d proudly wear to work (yeah, our dress code is kinda casual…)

  26. forthepie on November 5th, 2008 1:44 pm

    We at Forthepie would buy said shirt, if said shirt was bigger…much much bigger. Not all of us hunters are Nelfs or dwarves. Give us orc and Taurens IRL a break!

  27. kunukia on November 5th, 2008 1:59 pm

    /cry Sold out. Order more, please!

  28. Leslie on November 5th, 2008 2:15 pm

    When you order new ones get some Medium… a few of us WoW players are in-shape. Also, wouldn’t mind a long sleeve option.

  29. Squirrel on November 5th, 2008 2:16 pm

    Man! I missed it! moar please…

  30. Mortious on November 5th, 2008 2:19 pm

  32. Jangalian on November 5th, 2008 2:21 pm

    Woooooooooooooooooooooooow BRK! Consider doing this on a long sleeved tshirt, cause winter’s coming here in the states. I wanna wear it to work. >D

  33. Tyberiuss on November 5th, 2008 2:41 pm

    Interested in an XL when you turn back on the t-shirt making machine in Gadgetzan.

    Any chance of getting a pic of Mrs. BRK in the new attire?
    I’m sure the lady hunters out there would like to see how it fits in RL?
    /guy thought ……. that t-shirt can get wet, right?

  34. Kix on November 5th, 2008 2:42 pm

  53. Pixiedark on November 5th, 2008 4:30 pm

    Count me in on a pre-order for the next batch. I guarantee you’ll have a bunch of people buying all different colors/sizes/etc… I vote for shades of blue or green for our Nagrand-nature loving buddies! My best friend has a cat that he adores… and couldn’t ever see giving him up. He stables him sometimes for a better raid dps pet, but most of the time you’ll see him running around with Dot. Well, I have a druid that I love, and a mage that is a ton of fun, but my friend loves his hunter so much that I decided to level one, and I am hooked. My lil 66 hunter is LOVING her Gorilladin. I literally fell in love with my gorilladin last night, I found myself repeating it to myself several times last night… I really, truly love my George. They always say you get attached to pets as a hunter, and now I truly understand how it feels. No, I am not crazy! =P She even did the Nessingwary quests a-la BRK with George tanking 3-4 at a time. 30 mobs comes fast when you have such wonderful tanky-goodness as a gorilladin gives us! I even got Gutripper down to 200 life (with a little help from an elixir and scrolls), but eventually had to bring in reinforcements.

  54. Fearstalker on November 5th, 2008 4:30 pm

    BRK, get more of these made! (And also put the design on the back too.. small logo on front…)

  55. josurr on November 5th, 2008 4:35 pm

    BRK please get more of these available for sale I will definitely buy one perhaps two!!

  56. Outofammo on November 5th, 2008 4:38 pm

    Judging from the response here, I’d say you need to order in larger quantities…

    Here’s a suggestion: let people put money down on a shirt, and once you’ve got enough customers lined up for the order put it through. The down payment ought to be around 1/2 of the price since the price is so reasonable already. You mitigate the risk of ordering a shirt that can’t be sold, and those who put the 1/2 down are very inclined to give you the other 1/2 (plus $2 postage) when the shirts come in. If they don’t pay, they forfeit their down and you can sell the shirt to some other lucky hunter!

    Having said that, I’ll take one in XL, please. :D

  57. @Outofammo on November 5th, 2008 4:41 pm

    great idea…do that BRK

  58. Hallo on November 5th, 2008 4:47 pm

    This message brought to you by the Blizzcon ordering process and the letter Q.

    So in for another run, especially if you can get it pre-wrath and long sleeve.

  59. Pifo on November 5th, 2008 5:00 pm

    Sold out :(

    I’d like to order one pretty plz…

  60. Zahn on November 5th, 2008 5:08 pm

    I must have made it just in time (for once I’m happy I start work at 7am and browse BRK before actually working). Can’t wait to get the shirt and Ytchibuht won’t Thunderstomp me now for being shirtless.

  61. Damienz on November 5th, 2008 5:12 pm

    Any chance of fixing the logistics to Sweden if you decide to make some new one’s? ;)

    Thanks for a lovely blog btw, the sole reason I rolled a hunter to start with.

  62. Rugus on November 5th, 2008 5:14 pm

    EU CUSTOMERS FTW…. Wanna buy one, SHIP TO EU!!!!

  63. Steve on November 5th, 2008 5:21 pm

    Awesome BRK, don’t forget the land down under, us Aussies don’t want to miss out either.

  64. Rekelectric on November 5th, 2008 5:23 pm

    Would love one shipped to The Netherlands.

  65. Senzir on November 5th, 2008 5:30 pm

    Love it! When you get more I’m gonna need two. One large for me and a XL for my Gorilladin!

  66. Jaydia on November 5th, 2008 5:35 pm

    So glad I checked the site before I left for work this morning! I saw the shirts, and went and told my boyfriend about them and how I wanted one. He got on the site right then and ordered one for me. I guess maybe I was the first to order one? Sooo excited to get this shirt! XD

  68. Arioach on November 5th, 2008 5:49 pm

  73. Jageria on November 5th, 2008 8:07 pm

    So… Yea… I just ordered a Gorilladin shirt using the PayPal link from the other post.

    I WANTS ONE! =D

  74. Severkill on November 5th, 2008 9:08 pm

    Dude!!! Now that shirt is the hottness!!! I would definitely order one but in 3XL!!! One look at that shirt makes me want to get a gorilla again! I had to give up my old one to make room for my cat.

  75. JackOfAllGames on November 5th, 2008 9:21 pm

    I know I’m an odd one, but I wouldn’t wear anything with profanity. A bit disappointed with that, but I love the basic design.

  76. Ron on November 5th, 2008 9:55 pm

    I can haz XXl right?

    Totally not the belly…broad shoulders, honest!

  77. Teaakius on November 5th, 2008 11:58 pm

    Need an XL here for concealment…Florida doesn’t let this Hunter carry his boomstick out in the open.

  78. Brian on November 6th, 2008 2:16 am

    “I know I’m an odd one, but I wouldn’t wear anything with profanity. A bit disappointed with that, but I love the basic design.”

    Ditto here. I really don’t want to have to explain it to my 6yo.

    How about “Tanks – I needed that”

  79. Jan on November 6th, 2008 3:37 am

    XXL Hunter from Poland also wants one!

  80. Screech on November 6th, 2008 3:57 am

    I would love one in medium!

    I just a little guy and I couldn’t imagine the laugher that would echo though my gorilla’s stable when he saw me come to pick him up in a moo-moo.

  81. Jaikara on November 6th, 2008 6:46 am

    BRK, I must have one of these shirts! I live in Scotland and will happily pay the shipping costs involved.
