Retro Kuwaiti T-shirts

I think I want to make some retro Kuwaiti t-shirts and sell them as a side business. I could make like a Kids ‘R’ Us shirt or “I heart Sunkist” one.. the possibilities are really endless!

    I think it is a great idea, you can have smurfs, jonger cartoon, zaina cartoons on the T-shirts.etc.
    Or you can also put wimpy burgers or filfila Amreicana.

    I think it is a great idea, I will recomend retro cartoon, such as Smurfs, snorklles, zaina, kalimero, jinger.etc.
    Also you can print wimpy hamburgers, pizzza italia or filfela Americana.

    Try to be profisional mark as much as you can ..

    http://www.t-shirts.com

    the a bove site would let me change shirt style or colour , edit image or upload your own and adding text to your shirt .

    if you maniged to build a site with your own desings plus that feature that I have mention before you may become number 1 in kuwait .

    good luck ..

  13. 13. Do_Od | January 5th, 2009 at 7:54 pm

    Sounds like a great idea!
    can you use logo’s like hungry bunny’s would it be legal ?

  14. 14. Venkatesh | January 5th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

    How about printing like “248am…therefore I am”?

  15. 15. fadibou | January 5th, 2009 at 8:32 pm

    I am smelling some copyright problems in the distance (comment for the post)

    But i think a 248am t-shirt might sell like hot cakes for 2 reasons.

    1. You have a huge fan base and most wouldn’t mind spending money on a shirt
    2. there are a lot of people who will be jealous and will buy them without evening reading or knowing your blog or what 248am means.

  16. 16. highsky | January 5th, 2009 at 9:16 pm

    i think you have problems with aging :D

  17. 17. Mark | January 5th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    yeah it would be illeagal to print these tshirts without permission from the brand owners but maybe with a brand like kids r us the trademark might have expired? not sure. Also with a tshirt like I heart Sunkist would I need permission from Sunkist even if i didnt use their logo? too many questions still need to be answered.

    Now a 2:48AM line of tshirts? hmm they would have to be more than just a logo on a shirt but there might be something there…

  18. 18. Q80 BOY | January 5th, 2009 at 9:29 pm

    gr8 idea

  19. 19. susheeh | January 5th, 2009 at 9:30 pm

    yeah i’d totally want to express my love for mark through a 248 shirt.. !

  20. 20. fadibou | January 5th, 2009 at 9:38 pm

    remember the movie turk 182.
    mid 80s it became crazy and most people never even watched the movie or knew what turk 182 was but it was on shirts, walls, caps and all over the place.

    its just alpha numeric and might make some cash

  21. 21. AbdulKareem | January 5th, 2009 at 10:42 pm

    Hungry bunny shirt is WIN!

    =D

  22. 22. holla | January 5th, 2009 at 11:30 pm

    tata botata is going to kill u!

  23. 23. T-Num | January 5th, 2009 at 11:51 pm

    Yeah, 248am shirts are gonna be pink….no way it’s getting on me.

  24. 24. Mr.pedro | January 6th, 2009 at 2:33 am

    Make them black white looks cheap like the one they give for free

  25. 25. Mr.pedro | January 6th, 2009 at 2:35 am

    for a 248 t-shirt make the customizable that some one can print his user name

    or like 248 am .com

    then user name : Mr.pedro
    pass word : ***********

    just my 2 cents

  26. 26. sebamboot | January 6th, 2009 at 7:38 am

    I think you should also make some Tshirts with catroon theme songs lyrics that we really cant forget:
    - Al Tineen al 9a’3eer (( Aby aby matha toreedo ya walad … ))
    - Masra7iyat Llaila we theeb (( oh oh oh chinna el tanoora mafroora ))
    and (( yaditich wenha feeh .. sakna bay el droob ….. ))
    Masra7iyat sinderra (( ni9 dinaaar .. ana 3indi ni9 deenaaaar ))

    I garintee .. these will be a hit with girls :)

    The 248am T-shirt already exists, check:

    Daina-Zaina, Safeway, Fashionway (stores)

  36. 36. A | January 6th, 2009 at 12:26 pm

  37. 37. L | January 6th, 2009 at 1:30 pm

    yeah the n-collection one is managed by my cousin and her friend. but with these ideas, it’s never too late..
    it’s a t-shirt selling business, not exactly an original concept..it depends on you go about it..if you market it well, you’d make a fortune : )

    oh and there’s also Y-not group, i made a t-shirt and they don’t print stuff, they actually paint it..really good stuff..

    but it’s never too late : D
    go for it

  38. 38. HKR | January 6th, 2009 at 1:38 pm

    I will buy the “kids r us” if it is a polo shirt

  39. 39. Bu Yousef | January 6th, 2009 at 2:21 pm

    Grendizer… or Grandizer.
    That, I would buy :)

  40. 40. b-relaxed | January 6th, 2009 at 4:04 pm

    The t-shirts fabric should be good quality and the logos should be quality printed and smartly designed, i.e cool to wear, not making one look like a human ad sign. Otherwise, anyone could make their own t-shirts with t-shirt transfer paper.

    I bought couple of t-shirts from the following websites and I’m very satisfied with what I bought, IMO you should aim for something at least this good.

  43. 43. Holla | January 7th, 2009 at 11:37 am

    LOL mr pedro, great idea. Everyone will buy the t-shirt with my username, so Mark you will owe me extra royalties :D :D

  44. 44. Mark | January 7th, 2009 at 11:38 am

    I could make a ton of money selling Holla Sucks or Holla is gay tshirts

  45. 45. cajie | January 7th, 2009 at 12:37 pm

    Mark Wrote: “I could make a ton of money selling Holla Sucks or Holla is gay tshirts”

    I don’t think so. People usually buy t-shirts when the slogan is fiction; not fact.

  46. 46. Mathai | January 7th, 2009 at 1:37 pm

    lol ! BURN !

  47. 47. Holla | January 7th, 2009 at 3:10 pm

    It’s ok Cajie I am Arab so when I hump one of your gay lil mates I am still considered a man.

  48. 48. SWOS | January 8th, 2009 at 2:06 am
