In the past, Beeple had inquired about having Beehaw merchandise. At that time, they thought it would be a good way to raise funds to keep the site going.

Now that our finances are OK I’d like to revisit this idea for the following reasons:

  1. Pure fun and enjoyment.
  2. A way to get attention and draw people to Beehaw.

My brother has been in the professional textile space for 15 years. I asked him what he’d recommend as a merchandise platform and he immediately responded: Printify

If someone wanted to take this on, then they would want to coordinate things with the admin team here at Beehaw.

No one has the rights to that one. It was donated and we were told we could do anything with it.

Seems like a simple solution, then. I much prefer that one anyway. Not a lot of "haw" without the hat.

I like the idea of the main hex logo on a hat or shirt and some tagline like

Wouldn't setting up shop as the arm of a nonprofit solve this?
