Yes, they’re back, for the 3rd year! Our highly collectable sure to be worth a gazillion bucks in a decade or two BOB T’s are once again going to be available at the conference.
We took a poll last year for various options, and the “Hello, My Name Is BOB ” design won. The second place was this:
Our intention is to make the shirts using this design (which as displayed is only a prototype). The design will be a full-sized logo, unlike prior years which were smaller pocket-sized logos. Before doing so, are there any suggestions for other designs? Anybody want to redo the poll for this year?
We’ll also be taking advance orders (no payment required, it’s more of a “size request” than an order) so that we know how many of each size will be pre-orded and make adjustments for conference sales based on that. Hopefully that will allow everyone that wants a particular size to get the size you want. We still won’t, however, be offering size “Small”, only Medium, Large, Extra Large, and XX Large.
Here’s a picture showing how the previous t-shirts came out (final production version). We had a great time running around in Phoenix, with everyone wondering why there were so many people named “Bob”.
I think last year’s contest had so many good suggestions – and this one came in a close second, much to many folks’ dismay. We said then that we’d use it this year.
I vote to skip the poll this year, and just go with this one!
And for those of you who don’t know who’s modeling last year’s shirt, I’ll give you one guess!
Shipping via USPS Priority is $4, I can investigate cheaper options if you like. Cost for the shirts is not set yet. We’ve been doing $10, and may continue that this year. In future years if we actually go forward with the sponsorship thing the shirts may be priced lower.
Yeah, she got an awesome price on the shirts last year. Didn’t get the same deal this year, but still not bad. And at least this year we’re starting before six weeks before the conference.
What a cool idea! I don’t have the time to research it at the moment… if someone can find a link (or two) for a place that might be able to do that, let me know.

I assume that’s $10 per bobble, right? And a minimum qty of 100? Hmm, not sure I want to drop $1,000 on bob bobbles unless there is a lot of interest in them… we’ll have to start a new topic.
I love the bobblehead idea too – it’s too bad we can’t just get Amazon to stock/sell them, and give BOB a commission by clicking from Shop@BOB and buying it there!
