Now that is retro chic and I'd pay good money for one of them.

not saying just because you are mod extraordinaire ... but needs way more love. that was pretty funny.

8 humor points for you.

Standalone branded poker clothing company as a business I agree. But poker clothing is and will be a thing for businesses with synergy, and for generic manufacturers who just slap a new template on their existing production lines

The only clothing gimmick associated with poker that I've ever seen with any sort of sustained success is the WSOP stuff, sold outside the RIO airport hangars/poker room in the summer.

New try.

Shirt designs pretty bad, but I may get a basic one on sale if the material is nice. Anybody know the quality of the shirts, and whether they feel nice?

3Bet OOP

Rename this thread "3bet Folds" imo

I did always wonder what deal all the pros had (ie Hellmuth) to rep 3bet. As someone earlier ITT said, ownership %? Free shirt?

This had about as much a chance to succeed as someone putting out a poker rap mixtape. imo

I am shocked, shocked I tell you!! That these products wouldn't find a mass market!

you win.

Wow, I thought that shirt was someone's Photoshop, but I looked it up after your reply. I don't even...

No mass market? WAT? I can find a probable buyer for this very shirt within this very thread!

How much for a 10-pack? I need some rags to wipe my hands when I go fishing...

This 100 percent.

Someone used "niche" above, and that's the magic word. I suspect those who attempt to launch poker apparel overestimate the size of that niche, then they further doom themselves to fail by combining underwhelming products with poor marketing strategies.

I'm suddenly have this vision of getting trapped in an equally bad elevator pitch.

Me: What brings you to CAA?
Them: I've started a company. Footwear.
Me: Ah, good for you.
Them: Not all footwear, though. We specialize in athletic footwear.
Me: Makes sense.
Them: Specifically, mid-rise volleyball shoes.
Me: Hey, Nike started with one pair of Waffle Trainers.
Them: But not just any mid-rise volleyball shoes, our product will be geared to fans of hip hop.
Me: Interesting, interesting... I suppose there have been a number of successful urban apparel entrepre...
Them: But not all hip hop. We're targeting fans of one artist.
Me: So really going after a niche, then.
Them: Cardi B.
Me: Well, if you're picking just one, she is a brand to herself.
Them: Cardi B is big.
Me: Sure, but is she enough to...
Them: And all of our shoes will come in only one color.
Me: Why just one? At the AMAs, her hat alone was rockin'...
Them: Desert camouflage.
Me: Have you not seen her look?
Them: And that's why we're here.
Me: I mean, seriously, jump on Instagram for a minute...
Them: CAA is our key.
Me: To get Cardi B on board with this, I assume.
Them: No.
Me: Then why...
Them: We're hoping to get Drew Brees as our first celebrity endorser.
Me: I think this is my floor.

Ha, I can see that being in a Bojack Horseman episode or something.

Genius.
+1 to that.

They missed a revenue opportunity by not selling livestream access to the weekly call of Helmuth being told that nope, still no sales on the Hellmuth 2020 shirts.

Also: that’s some weird crossout placement on the (I guess) No Limpers shirt. 99% of people are going to wonder why you’re wearing a shirt reading “Limp.”

The only three poker brands that I could sell clothing/merchandise profitably are the three you see on TV -- WSOP, WPT and Stars. It's not the design or comfort the consumer is buying, it's the brand.

To create a successful clothing line in a small and niche industry like poker, the product has to be secondary, not primary.

Looks like this is an insider “nerd” level line of clothing in a hobby/pastime where that level would go out of their way to avoid identifying themselves as such.

Except that '3bet folds' was already in the OP, said by 3bet themselves.

Is your benchmark for genius being able to read a post and then repeat it as though its your own joke?

I was actually about to buy a long sleeve shirt for $14, but shipping is $8. Changed my mind. And that's for a week delivery.

Ctrl+f "3bet fold"

Nope.

There's an analogy about making tough folds, but that's not quite the same thing or even a joke.
