John SiracusaWe’re pushing the limits of logo printing this holiday season with our decidedly non-Retina “ATP Pixels” design. There’s also a new long-sleeve variant.
Our traditional Apple “joke” product this year is the “ATP Space Black” shirt with a logo that’s…not quite black. Available as a t-shirt, long-sleeve t-shirt, and a sweatshirt for even chillier weather.
Like Apple, we’re also dropping an (almost*) full suite of M3 products.
*Still waiting on that M3 Ultra…
Yes, there are also shirts that are not black. Long-sleeve and sweatshirt variants of these are also available.
There’s a bunch of other stuff too, but one last thing I’ll highlight is our new mug design, which I think looks pretty nice.
Adam Snetman@siracusa hoping hats are coming back. Mine went missing and I need a replacement!
Pipe Gutierrez@siracusa Ive had both the red-lined and the non-lined ones and never noticed the “hand wash only” disclaimer. Is that new for this one?
Fyi. They also don’t seem to be being damaged by the washer either
@pipeGutierrez It is not new. According to the manufacturer, it's been true for every mug we've ever sold. You’re living on the edge!
Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips@siracusa @pipeGutierrez out of curiosity, do they give a reason why? is it just that the printing will fade faster, or is there something else?
@shadowfacts No idea, but I assume the printing on the outside will either fade or come off? Obviously, plenty of people ignore this and just put it in the dishwasher, and I haven't heard of anything bad happening, but I still say do so at your own risk!

White mug to contrast the Black MBP M3? 😂

Ryan Lintott@siracusa looks like something one might find on a desk at Aperture Science or a Clovis Bray facility.
Aleen@siracusa hand wash only 😭😭😭😭😭
It's so pretty, though. Maybe aesthetics will win out this time.
@aleen We've sold this same mug from the same manufacturer for years, and people tell me they had no idea they were not dishwasher safe. I hand-wash mine, but I guess they don't die *instantly* in the dishwasher…
MacBalance@aleen I’ve had some similar mugs made and it seems very random. Some people wash them in the dishwasher fine, others have issues.
Aaron@siracusa Any chance y’all will have stickers available at some point?
@aaronschendel We keep looking into this, but the economics are pretty ridiculous. Maybe someday…
Chris Theberge@siracusa any shot at stickers some time? I have maxed out on shirts for a bit after the hypercritical ones.
@Encryptic We keep looking into it, but the economics of stickers are even worse than these shirts. Maybe someday…
(Also, maybe consider a mug or pint glass?)
AK@siracusa you should put a image of a lightning port on the underside. ATP Magic Mug!
Diego Petrucci@siracusa have you ever thought about doing a tank top? I mutilated my pink hypercritical into one and have received nice comments about it!
@diegopetrucci We have some in the store now! Look at the ATP Six Colors shirt, for example.
@siracusa ohhh this is so cool! thank you
Malcolm Hall@siracusa can you make one in the Sonoma banana colour?
Steven Op de beeck@siracusa Aren’t you skirting Apple's trademarks with these shirts 😏
@stevenodb Parody is protected speech!
@siracusa obviously and I love it, but I had tomato*
* to ask #damnyouautocorrect
Jeff Noxon@siracusa Half my wardrobe is ATP shirts, and I just bought the pixels one. But as the former owner of a BMW M3, this shirt just feels too wrong.
@jeff …or does it feel so *right*? 🙃
Hans has moved@siracusa bring back the M2 shirt please 🥺👉👈
Graeme K@SherlockHans @siracusa When they first did M2 shirts, I did not own an M2 Mac. Now I do, and can’t get an M2 shirt. Is this poor planning on my part, or theirs? 🤔
@graemek @SherlockHans Buy the shirt for the Mac you want, not the Mac you have!
Luke Kanies@siracusa yeah, this might be the one where the logo kinda crosses over from a tribute to brand confusion with bmw
Mr Audio@siracusa Amazed that BMW lawyers haven't come calling yet. 🙂
Francis 🏴☠️ Gulotta@siracusa like apple you stop selling the old models as soon as the new ones are announced
Gary@siracusa Did @caseyliss ‘s past (maybe still present) love of BMW influence this one? :P
@garyj_co Now you finally understand the ATP logo… https://neutral.fm
Orlando@siracusa Do they have the chip design on the back? I can’t see it on the website.
@OVargas There’s nothing on the back of any of the shirts.

Phil Nelson@siracusa How much more black could it be? Some. Some more black.
David Schuetz ** looking for work **
Chuck O'Rourke:verified:@phil @siracusa
Because Mastodon is a kinder, gentler place I won’t figure out a way to involve @caseyliss in a smell the glove reference.
Oh jeez…

continuousorbit@siracusa - You guys should do the color test, ala @marcoarment style… crayons, coal, ThinkPad, etc…
@siracusa is the logo smaller on the space black sweatshirt?
@jwoldan The logo is the same size. (The mock-up may not be exactly to scale.)
Tim Holmes@siracusa An unintentional homage to the 1988 BMUG Newsletter, which was black on black due to a printing error… I like it!
Aaron
James Bilsbrough@siracusa love the pixel drop shadow!
