Here’s my Zazzle store called One Lesson. A bunch of bumper stickers with Mises quotes and other slogans as well as a few shirts up (Aristotle, Hayek, Hazlitt, Nietzsche, and LaVey). I’m going to add more products, but I’d love some feedback, since I don’t know if any of this strikes anyones attention, or if they’d even buy it.
Your t-shirts are boring, capturing all the same defects as t-shirts from LvMI. And, most of your merchandise is already being produced verbatim, from cafepress.com, zazzle.com, or other other online stores.
And some libertarian designers are blowing you out of the water, like libertymaniacs.com.
And yet where is the demand for neo classical shirts & other merchandise? Let alone supply?
OH WAIT…
idk… im not satisfied with any of the libertarian/ancap shirts. Mises.org’s enemy of the state rothbard t-shirt is the best one I’ve found. Every other shirt i’ve seen has been either really tacky or really fratty.
No. I do not want a vintage shirt with “Hayek is my Homeboy” written on it. Ha ha ha he’s doing a gang sign too!
Some of the stuff, or rather all of the stuff, from Liberty Maniacs is too cartoonish, I wouldn’t wear it. The reason I started doing the bumper stickers is that I couldn’t find ANY Mises quotes, so I made some. The reason for the shirts is that I originally wanted a young Nietzsche shirt, and all the ones I see are when’s he’s older. I ended up just doing more people. I’ll admit the bumper stickers are rather mediocre and cliche. As you can see I didn’t just stop with libertarians, and Anton LaVey and Eve Ensler made it into shirts.
Suggestions on anything?
Conza88, the demand is in bookstores and college classrooms across the world.
Don’t get me wrong: I love me some libertarian merchandise. But I prefer libertymaniacs.com as my source, which has neat ones like “Real men read Mises.”
I don’t like the simple face portraits in black, and I think I’ll stray away from anything that also includes material from Nietzsche and LaVey, which just smacks of adolescence.
BERT:
I have been to a number of web-sites looking for things of interest over the years… I like your set up as much as any. I think you did a GREAT job and will be looking at it in more detail later.
don’t know why you would include Anton lavey with the other people. I do not believe his philosophy is healthy or helpful. BTW I am agnostic – so no accusations of holy rolling please..
I have some interest in LaVey, and I think the picture looks a bit sinister. I just came up with two more designs that will probably draw more confusion as to why they are in the same store as Hayek and Aristotle.

If you’re right tons of adolescents will buy it up.
“Conza88, the demand is in bookstores and college classrooms across the world.”
Yeah, artificial demand.
I have two Rothbard designs up, how about this?
