CBCMurdoch is offering some (rather expensive) fan bling here: www.zazzle.ca/detective_murdoch_t_shirt-235755916883497937Open letter to the Murdoch Marketingistas: 1) When many of your fans are female, their particular morphology often works better with t-shirts with designs on the back. (Or maybe a small logo-area design on the front, and the larger design on the back). 2) Remember the phenomenon that was the Cats t-shirt? Or the Batman one? Or even the giant typewriter X for the X-files? T-shirts are so much cooler when they are just a symbol, and the people who recognize them can feel like they are "in the know" about what they mean. A silhouette of a guy in a homburg on a bicycle would probable work for MM. Or perhaps just the homburg. 3) Can I haz a longer sleeve version? In short, I might pay a lot more than I normally would for clothing just to join Team Murdoch, but it better look good on me if you want me to wear it outside the house.  Ps. I still think a Murdoch vs. Homburg flappy-bird style video game would be hilarious. |

Might I add to your letter, snacky? A shirt with the words TEAM GEORGE (and perhaps a simple graphic of his helmet? As you said, something that would make all the fans feel "in the know") is something I would pay big bucks for!  Also wondering if you noticed this design with your beloved homburg > www.zazzle.ca/keep_calm_murdoch_mysteries_t_shirt-235957444828707771 |

I did notice that design, but unfortunately, I could not wear something like that with my figure.  Also, the Keep Calm meme might not mean anything to people in the US, so I think I'd rather just have my beloved homburg. Shouldn't we have a smiley with a homburg on it? |

Hmm, I took a closer look at the "customize it" feature, and it looks like you can move stuff around, and even "change image". I figured out how to get stuff to the pocket area, but not how to get it onto the back of the shirt.
Anyway, you might be able to use "Change Image" to do your Team George thing, if you're okay with the image being on the front. The t-shirt itself is still pretty danged expensive, though.
Ps. Arg - there are long sleeved styles, too - just extremely well hidden! Look for a button that says "see all styles". Gosh darn it, I used to think I was clever at technical stuff.
I think I'm going to get me one of those of Police Station 4 ones. (though Team George is tempting).

Oh man! I know what I'm going to be doing for the next several hours...thanks for introducing me to a new toy, snacky! Hopefully it doesn't end up costing me a fortune!  And yes, we need a smiley with a homburg...and one with a helmet! |

And yes, we need a smiley with a homburg...and one with a helmet! I couldn't figure out how to get the Station House 4 design on the back, and the shirt I want is $49 dollars. This may have to wait for a major hint at my birthday. My pick > Bella Long Sleeve Gray "Station House 4" design. (supposedly that shirt is for "curvy" women - hope that turns out to be true). Kind of bummed that the MM logo can't be seen at a distance, but the white one will be hard to wash. Prison gray would have been the best.  Ps. I bet there's something in photoshop that would take a silhouette of the constable hat if you can't find something like that ready made. You can sign up for a trial version of photoshop and mess around with it for a month. |

Otherwise I like gray logo one they show...I would love the George one except the black background makes it look like he's a villain who wants to hurt me, lol. |

hmm it won't show me the exact picture. LOL at the shirt with the mustache (with great "mustache" comes great responsibility). |

Hmmm...I'll try to figure out what's up with the link. Haha, the mustache one is a little creepy looking to me! Lol.

Did you actually buy the shirt?
I really want mine. T_T
My Mom is visiting me next month. I'm prepared to hint hurrying hard! (Season 7 joke)

I was mulling this topic over again, and I thought of a great fan item that they should add...a number 4 lapel pin! Not as symbolic as the mockingjay from "The Hunger Games," but definitely something that fans would relate to and could potentially go with any outfit! On my foray into Google, I found this link for a number 4 pin, unfortunately it's only in gold (and I believe the Station House issues silver ones). www.pinmart.com/store/item.aspx?ItemId=2422 |

I can see it as a bit of Goth bling. (Or a piece of "flair" if you've seen the movie Office Space). |

Haven't seen it (the movie) but I would definitely consider the pin a sweet addition to any outfit! |
