PrintHere at Mile High Hockey, our goal has always been to suck up as much of your free time as we can. Now, we're setting our sights on your disposable income as well.
Okay, that's not really why we're launching this. We've talked off and on about doing something like this for years, but never could get organized or motivated enough to do it. Recently, SB Nation established a partnership with WebStoresCorp to set up an online store for any SBN blog interested. Today, we're happy to unveil the Mile High Hockey store!
To start, we've come up with two designs -
They're available in a number of colors and if there's a color you'd like to see, let me know and we can get it added pretty quickly (usually within an hour or so). White Ts are $13.99 and colored Ts are $15.99 (larger sizes are bit more). Shipping is $6 for one, with each additional shirt costing $1. Shirts are produced to order, so lead time looks to be anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks (was hoping you folks would have something for your March 1st field trip, but it doesn't look like that's going to work). I ordered a couple last night, so I'll let you know when mine arrives.
The most exciting part about the store is that we can quickly and easily add new designs as we see fit (sweatshirts and hoodies, too). There are a couple of rules because of copyrights - no team names ("Avalanche" is a no-go) or full names of players (nicknames, especially MHH nicknames, should be okay). Player likenesses and team logos are not going to fly either, lest we get the legal team of Dunman & Rosenkrantz on our asses. The store is starting out simple, but the inventory can certainly be expanded as you creative folks come up with new ideas.

I know he will likely be traded about .0003 seconds after the Olympics,
but this is the perfect time to create a Johnny Hot-Pocket Shirt.
I’d be SO down on that…in so many ways.

I really like the MHH one
May I suggest putting the text underneath the logo on the BACK of the shirt. And I’d also like to see it in black or Navy blue.
Awesome shirts!
What I mean..
“A must win blog” and our URL would look cool on the back of the shirt instead of underneath the logo on the front

$6 for 2-3 shipping?
Jeeeesus. Not that this isn’t awesome, but as an avid online shopper, that jumped off the page.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
yeah, for me as well. still, I spend $41 for two shirts and I felt that was acceptable for what I was getting. and I’m a cheap bastard

Absolutely.
The prices for the products alone are juuuust fine. I’m definitely a fan of that.

One more thing.
I need an “ORLY factor” bird T-shirt. Except he needs missing teeth and a hockey stick. And number 37 somewhere.
i will get a MHH logo shirt
…the second it doesn’t suck. I know it’s not your fault, but the current logo looks like a 5 year old drew it.
I’ve mentioned it before, and I’ll say it again…is there ANY way we can get girl-friendly, boob-complimentary tees going on here? I mean, you guys LIKE boobs, right?

I also want an official looking MHH Marketing, Inc shirt with some kind of snappy slogan with a dig at KSE that one of you can easily come up with which escapes me right now cuz I’m tired and have a headache.

No names?
Aren’t player names public domain?
Even the term “Avalanche” is public domain. Nobody can sue you over that. The NFL tried to sue a bunch of people and companies selling “Saints” shirts just before the superbowl and failed.

not 100% sure. the B’s blog has some Tuuka Time shirts, so I guess it’s not a definite no.

Hell, you can sell shirts with pictures of Stastny playing in an Avalanche jersey, as long as you own the rights to the picture.

It’s a public event. And you’re not portraying a corporate brand in a negative light.

In that vein how about the avalanche blasting sign on an MHH shirt?

Nice Job!
I love this, I feel like we’ve made the big time now!
The company that supplies the t-shirts that are being used does offer ladies t’s hopefully something like that can be added.

they’ve added some ladies’ Ts
other stuff that can be added if there’s interest:
youth, longsleeve, sleeveless, sweatshirts, hoodies and ball caps (text only on the caps, I think)
