Supplement T-shirts

[Universal Rep]

Im a fan. . ill take a shirt. . out of the 5 supps I take 2 of them are animal. . and the other 3 r products u guys dont make . .(WMS, Whey, and BCCA)

I don't know what Kap and Pmup products are, but for taking the time to post 'em, ya win.

4 t-shirts left...

I never understood why companies mark up their shirts so much.

A decent quality shirt is an advertisement for a company, and think about the costs that most companies deal with for magazine ads, etc. that arguably work less effectively compared to someone wearing a shirt.

If some newbie sees a big dude wearing a CL shirt, or whatever company, there's a strong inclination that the newbie is at least going to check out the company online, if not buy the product. There's a big difference between that and the newbie paging through a magazine and picking the one company out of the 100 that are advertising in there.

I wouldn't mind paying $10 for a decent shirt (XXL) but $15-25 for a Tshirt is bogus given that it's an advertisement. IMHO, companies shouldn't charge any more than what it costs them to make them, and maybe even sell at a loss given the advertising that it's doing.

Then again, you can't judge who's going to be wearing them. A 6'0 150lb wimp wearing a LG shirt doesn't say much

EXACTLY!

Excellent Post. Heck this may be the post of the year.

I totally agree. You would not believe the looks/questions/stares I get when I walk around a mall or some public place with my Ergopharm Shirts or my Controlled Labs shirt on.

The owner of the gym I used to belong to STILL gives me free T-Shirts. Why? It's cheap, and free advertisement. I'm a walking billboard for his gym. People see it and it stirs interest.

I want some Animal stuff (belt buckle, ANIMAL T-shirt, etc.) but there is no way I'm going to lay down $50+ to promote Universal's product. Not because I don't like them, just because it wasn't thrown in on and order or something. I just refuse to pay for THEIR advertising.

i def hear what ur saying, but i think what the animal rep is saying is that they r not making these shirts so u buy their supps. . there are making animal into a brand. . like puff daddy is not making sean john so u buy his CD's he's making sean john because he knows there is alot of money to be made with a clothing line. i used to work for a wholesale mortgage bank and we would give our brokers anything they wanted with our name on it. . from pens to basketballs, remote controlled cars, to shirts bags ect. . but just for the sole purpose of getting them and others to choose our bank. .there is a fine line between the 2 forms of advertising. .both do advertise and brand but done a bit differently. .

Of course, I personally would (and do wear quite a few brands). Tshirts are my standard wear daily.

This is true - there is an amazing amount of loyalty that can be cheaply bought by a simple gesture that costs a company very little.

In larger businesses, the cost of a few trinkets is negligible in terms of the bottom line, but can make the difference in whether a company gets a contract or not. Small things do make a difference.

i love company t-shirts. animals is a nice one, i like the brand they use for the t-shirt, it holds up longer through wash cycles.

Anyone here a fan of Animal, I got 5 XL to give out... http://www.animalpak.com/store/html/product.cfm?id=349

Who here is a fan and why? I'll pick five...

I am a fan of Animal. Right now I am taking Animal Flex and my shoulder that has always bothered me at times has been feeling great since I started taking it. I am also taking Storm and I have taken Shock Therapy in the past. Very solid products. I am going to try Animal Test in June.

The only supplement t-shirt I bought is one made by Animal/Universal, which has on the front "Shut the fock up and train"

I agree with most here--I really, really have to like a brand or company before I decide to buy or wear a t-shirt for 'em. What you said is spot on--it's the small things, which together, make up the big things.

[willldabeast]

is there a place you can get more than one so you dont have to pay separate shipping for all different shirts?

Yeah some chicks give me dirty looks and not the good ones. It's really annoying watching people on a cell phone while trying to curl dumbbells. "Oh hey look man, I am working out right now...though I should let you know"

I just got a bottle of Animal Stak (I thought I was getting "PAK" but misordered). Oh well, I'll take it anyhow...and have been for a couple days. I like Universal's products, always have, take my liver tabs daily (just popped 6 of them)

I need a XXL though Not sure I qualify.

[cxm]

thanks, clear some space.

get the XXL size, you need a t-shirt teddy for sleeping....

[MercNMuscles]

I think it's all the same from wearing an Under Amour, Nike, or a Universal shirt. It's all about branding and education, simple as that. Supplement companies aren't making a large amount of money on clothing or accessories(but comes with the territory/competition), so i don't think it's ridiculous to pay $15 for a shirt of a company that's helped you hit your weightlifting/fitness goals. That gets people asking questions about the company, and if I could give advice to someone out there that had questions about results from products I've tried, why not? I think it's great that someone would want to inform someone else about everything they've tried and worked/hasn't worked. That's one of the biggest goals of this forum.

While I have just recently become a BB.com member I have learned a lot in the short time I have been here. One thing that always creates a buzz are Universal Animal products. Reading all the reviews has influenced me to purchase Universal Animal Pump in my next order. For the moment however I will continue using Shock Therapy and am awaiting the addition of STORM to stack with.

So, I'd like a shirt, and I will wear it proudly.
I don't even mind that its XL, I like to wear my shirts loose.

"Long live Universal!"

xl fits now. half of my t-shirts are extremely tight/short on the sleeves now. muscles are ruining my wardrobe.

Edit:Btw the shirts look great, i see why they sell out @ the expos
