"I'm a #winelover" on a t-shirt... what do you think?


My dear #winelover,

I've talked with a few #winelover(s) about making a t-shirt that says: "I'm a #winelover".
  • What do you think? 
  • Is it cool? or... lame?
  • Why the hashtag (#)? You're not on twitter, are you?
  • Would you have a suggestion for the design?
  • Black? White? Something else?
  • Saying on the back or on the front?
And... very important!
  • Would you buy it?
I would love to hear your ideas/suggestions... and the usual "Ayes and Nays"

Cheers,
LA

Lose the "I'm a" and leave the "#winelover".

Using the "I'm a" gives me the idea that you don't understand Twitter. That you are just trying to fit in.
Using "#winelover" speaks in the language of twitter.
The point of the "#" is to create an easily recognized group of tweets efficiently.
I'm not a big twitter tweeter, but the people I know who are tweeters in the wine biz would feel more legitimately part of the group wearing the "#winelover" shirt. Marketing 101.
And then they would buy the shirt more quickly. And possibly retweet it around to their fellow winos.

All you're Ts are great. However, they are the wrong size. The little mini-ts made for a wine bottle are far more unique, fun and collectable and make for a memorable gift. They could advertise the winehub or relate your sayings to specific wine producers and to VARITALS:) Think of it tank tops for those heavy reds. They fit in an envelop and would be less expensive to send worldwide. I can supply a picture. JD-Berlin

I agree with going just with #winelover. It actually expresses more than if you include the "I'm a".

I would wear it.

Luiz Alberto, #winelover said...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Much appreciated!

I agree with you guys (BobZaguy and Daryl Gaitan): the "I'm a" is out.

What else? Should we include a picture? Color(s)? Design?

Thanks again!

Cheers,
LA

Guys, what about a personalized t-shirt with the user's twitter handle?
