T-Shirts are FINALLY available. After all the nonsense of below, and me finally giving in and going with a more complicated, more expensive, but FAR more reliable method, T-Shirts should be purchasable. The white versions are available right now, and the CHROMA shirts will be available later tonight.

Have FUN!
Old stuff below for posterity:
Here they are! For a limited time only, Em-8ER Founder T-Shirts! There is zero profit to me on the sale of these shirts, so don't think I'm some kind of opportunistic pocket-lining Scrooge.
Men's & Womens

Children

IMPORTANT!!!
The TeeSpring campaign doesn't really end. It's on a continuous relaunch for now. Teespring prints out the current orders when the campaign ends, then relaunches the campaign for another few days. Sorry for the confusion.
Sad Update:
I can't get a solid answer from TeeSpring about what's going on. I've canceled the campaigns for now, and will find a different service to print and fulfill the T-Shirts. Congratulations to everybody who managed to get a T-Shirt from TeeSpring. Everybody else, I ask for your patience while I work this out.

Good news everyone!
Barring any unexpected situations, T-Shirts will be available on TeeSpring within in the 24 hours. There will be a separate thread for them. Why did it take me so long to get these available? 2 Reasons. First I had a lot of prior commitments I needed to take care of. Second, I'm just not the fastest with Illustrator. But the increase in quality on the lettering was easily worth the wait:
Also, the bullet cracks on the logo got simplified a little bit and some edges got slightly smoothed. These changes help make the design more screen printable. It still looks amazing, as far as I'm concerned.

Popular, unpopular no such thing here. As with many things it's simply matter of opinion and goes equally both ways. I fully understand your concern and opinion on the matter and don't feel like we need to convince each other to think otherwise. Everyone is free to voice their opinions and I consider healthy philosophical pluralism and ability to discuss it without offensive or demeaning overtone as beneficial to communication and relations.
Benefits are clear with thousands of new members and crowdfunding going over the roof, but this also has a logical side to it. If you subscribe to email notifications on discussion platforms, you do so with knowledge that you'll most likely get plenty of irrelevant and unsolicited emails. By marking emails from generic senders like FF forums as spam, you are saying "I subscribed to this platforms, but I don't want to receive communication from it and others shouldn't either", that's how Gmail spam filter works. It's flawed logic, because you might have subscribed to it to receive it, but can't, because others decided for you instead of simply unsubscribing themselves. That's why you can see hundreds of people around saying they are glad they looked into spam folders. They wanted that email to land in inbox, but google denied their wishes on opinions of others.
Taking down imgur images did nothing to lessen number of messages, it just replaced relevant images people clicked to see with broken images. This was nothing more than a spiteful action. Also saying that this was going on for over a year is a bit harsh. To my knowledge 2 PMs were sent, first PM was received by a very small fraction of users, second was more widespread and targeted specifically to offer reward to eligible accounts, not entirely irrelevant. You get 20 times more useless emails if you subscribe to popular thread, do you also mark those as spam if thread's responders aren't staying on topic? Or do you just unsubscribe from it?
Let me just say many responded to those PMs and are grateful they were made aware of Em-8ER, given free credit and can take part in this project from the very beginning and everything comes at a cost, question is whether it's worth that cost and effort. Everyone can judge that themselves. Personally I think it was worth it and this project benefited from it while hurting no one.
