We want to lightly re-stock the store. So far it looks like the orders of business are normal-sized T-shirts and more hats.

Additionally, we should put some Vinyl Decals (which you guys call Die-cuts) in there.

I've heard more lanyards as a suggestion. WHat do you guys think of?

mouse pads!


really I'd love to see some nice warm toques. and it would be cool to have shirts that fit. XL being the smallest size is kind of silly I think.

Tried mousepads a while back. Massive failure. Threw like 98% of them in the garbage.

Also, just to set something straight:

Please for the love of god, understand what a real Die Cut sticker is.

Would personalized username 'vinyl decals' be too expensive to be economically feasible?

Marsland callout threads are getting kind of old haha.

Probably not - we used to do those and it was a huge amount of effort.

Its actually just called a Decal. :)

My feelings is that at mass scale the personalized stickers would end up costing too much. We're looking for stuff that is somewhat easier to stock and ship, since we moved the whole operation up to the states.

One of my 2nd gen lanyards fell off, got lost, and almost took my keys with it.
And, the other one was in a backpack that got stolen.

So, I vote lanyards

I can think of a bunch of cool trinkets that probably wouldn't make any money.

NS guitar picks would be sweet.

Lanyards, like the original though. I wasn't a big fan of the second even thought it was user picked. Just seemed more bulky and meh. I really liked the design on the first one as well.

Also, NS coozie FO SHO. Both can & bottle. Simple, not bright colors. Black, maroon, dark blue.

And maybe one NS tshirt style for a girl? Bandannas/scarves again? BEANIES.

Do people still use lanyards?

I thought that was a passing fad... after all every fad expires.

i would love a jersey/pinney style NS shirt. no funny pictures of skiers or anything, just a simple two tone colorway, say black shirt big white NS logo in the center. similar to stepts. not necessarily for skiing either but for both.

A plain Tall tee.. With a small NS tag at the bottom of the shirt somewhere, or a small 'Newschoolers' note on the chest, at the place where the lacoste crocodile is.

I do. But I tend to lose things and it's a lot harder to lose a big lanyard that a small keychain.

Wow - lots of comments for the usefullness of lanyards. I mean I'll admit, I love 'em and use them all the time. However, since they were so popular in the late '90s / early 2000s I guess I just assumed that it would fall out of fashion.

You're right (and so is everyone else) they are insanely handy.

I have been using lanyards since I was little. Still use them to keep my keys on it...or else I would lose my keys pretty easily. Lanyards are suuper handy and pretty cheap for the most part
