Inspired by has_and_belongs_to_none, I decided to make a few shirts
that I thought would be cool to have. I based a lot of the designs on
various things I’ve heard that struck me as cool. I’m sure I’m missing
lots of great stuff, but this is what a quiet afternoon will afford
me.
All prices are as low as possible: I do not make a profit on any of
these. If there is enough positive feedback, I’d be happy to change $1
more on each and donate that to RubyCentral (or retire early… hah).
Some shirts cost more because there is more to it: more lines of text,
more graphics, therefore making it more expensive to produce. Shirts
will cost anywhere from $12 to $22.
== FEATURES
Here are a few notable designs:
I Ruby (et al)
A few region-based designs (“Atlanta Rubyist”, etc)
Also, the pandas are cool and it’s the best thing I could come up
with! That’s all I’ve got, unless you have any other suggestions
for Japanese animals?

Consider adding the extra dollar or so and using it to support a Ruby
activity.
The Ruby shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, etc. available at www.rubystuff.com have a mid-range markup that is used to help pay
server costs for ruby-doc.org.

I really think you need to drop it. Do you have any idea how
offensive it is for Japanese people to be considered ‘Chinese’, or
vice versa?
Making a suggestion that Japanese culture, nature, indeed anything,
is “just like the Chinese” is likely to cause extreme offence in some
quarters.
It would be like suggesting the Irish were “just like the English”.
Heck, China and Japan only restored official diplomatic relationships
after WW2 in 1972.
I’d say until you come up with something better, remove it.

I cannot remember any animal. But what about a sakura tree?
In regards to the panda: as you can imagine, it was never my intent to
cause offense. You’re right, pandas come from China, and it just
doesn’t make sense. I still like the design though.
I’ve taken it off and replaced it with these two designs:

Of course - nobody means to cause offence, never does - I just
thought I’d best let you know of your social faux pas before the
Rubyists in .jp came around and smashed up the front of your web
store.

How about have the same panda but another slogan? “Ruby is so easy,
even Pandas can do it” which has a sort of double entendre element to
it…

Unfortunately, I’m pretty limited by the graphics that are already
available. Plus, I’m not so hot with the Illustrator, so I probably
wouldn’t produce anything worthwhile!
But, if you design a vector Daikon for a shirt (with 1 color), then let
me know!
That’s all I’ve got, unless you have any other suggestions
