Dear Browncoats,

After a recent conversation on the IRC channel, I volunteered to look into the cost for having Blue Sun shirts made for them as wants them. It makes a shiny U-day gift, and looks great at the gym, around town, sharpening your knives, or while designing aircraft. The link to the artwork on the fox site (gorram fox!) says, “Enjoy,” so I reckon we should.

The shirt in question is gray and has the Blue Sun logo on the front in blue. It resembles the one Jayne wore to be knifed by River in at the beginning of Ariel, except it is gray rather than olive and has the sleeves still on. It’s a Hanes Beefy-T, an exceptionally solid cotton T-Shirt, and the logo is silk-screened on. Since it’s only one color and one side, the cost is fairly reasonable. Postpaid to your US or Canada address, I can get them out to you for US$10.00 apiece. If you’re overseas, throw in a little more for the extra postage (use your judgment). Sorry, no discount for platinum.

I’d like to organize it this way: If you want one (or several. Remember, Unification Day’s right around the corner), send me an e-mail to embassy82@yahoo.com with your name, sizes, and address. I’ll tell the shop on 30 June to give everyone time to get their order in. When I send you back a confirmation e-mail, I’ll give you an address to send a check, or paypal information if you prefer. Then I’ll get them in the mail and you should have your shirts by 14 July or so.

This price should yield a moderate (< $1.00) surplus, which I’ll donate to a suitable charity like homeless vets or something. Suggestions welcome.

T-Shirts are a cool way to help advertise our favorite show so I'd like to see the "Firefly" logo somewhere on them.

Also, I must have missed this but what day IS Unification Day?

"Appears they've canceled the show and we're still here. What does that make us?"
"Big damn junkies, Sir!"
"Ain't we just."

I haven't the foggiest idea when U-day is, but I choose to observe it the day "The Train Job" first aired.

I think with an active movie and DVD project in the works the firefly logo would have serious rights issues attached to it, so discretion obliges me to a careful touch here. The Blue Sun logo is very much an in-joke, and unlikely to get us into trouble.

What size ranges will the t-shirts be in? And is it possible to specify male or female?

Cool idea!

The way I understand it, sizes are standard men's S M L XL and more Xs, Anything over XXL is a $1.50 surcharge, they tell me.

Doesn't Unification refer to The Alliance thinking that they had unified all the "civilized planets" under their rule? The U-day must be talking about a day in which a battle was fought, or a surrender accepted, that turned the tide of the war. Most likely, the battle of Serenity Valley.

so that would make it in december? (the first airing of Serenity Pt.1)

shiny, mabey dvds will be released on U-Day then

then again, the train job IS set during Uday (Funny how come every uday, you find yourself looking for a quiet drink in an alliance friendly bar.)

so it should be that fathful day in September...

anyone remember what day that was exactly?

The train job aired on 20 SEP 2002.

Sounds like a perfectly good U-day to me!

We should find ourselves an Alliance-friendly bar come U-day in which to look for a quiet drink. The only problem is, I don't think there are any bars owned by Fox anywhere. Who else could be Alliance-friendly?

I dunno...

The US Gov own any bars? trying to unite everyone under one rule so they can be interfered with equally

barring that, next best thing would be a Browncoat friendly bar... no reason we couldn't take over a few for the day

The bar fight at the beginning of the train job happens because it was unification day and the guy in the bar was toasting to the alliance. So the anniversary of the train job would have to be the best unification day as it is 1 year after the unification day barfight.

So I guess if we can't find an Alliance bar the next best thing is the Fox lobby. How cool would that be 30 some people drinking in the building's lobby.

Wait a second there,

While I am all for dressin' respectable, I have to point out that we're Browncoats.

The only reason we should have to be in a bar on U-Day is to pick fights.

Oh, we gotta do it! We all gotta show up in blue sun t-shirts and any other fun t-shirts we can make and our model dinosaurs and start talking about "the oppressive, cabalistic networks."

Or at least really loiter outside on the sidewalk. Maybe call the news media and tell them that we got words.

Embassy,

I have also emailed you, but have not received any response. Am I a victim of your email filter, perhaps?

You should have received an email from Embassy on July 1st asking for your payment if you sent an order. I would suggest emailing him back if you didn't find that message in your mailbox.
