Lobster DAO Merch Proposal

[OffcierCia]

Gm Lobsters!

You know me as the admin in the chat lobster DAO, but few people know that I used to do high-end clothing. I would like to make a gift to the Lobster DAO community and give away a certain amount of hoodies!

A few words about delivery before we started: I will need the recipient's name and address (including the ZIP code) in as much detail as possible. The delivery will be made personally by my good friend from the store in Moscow or handdeliver. Those who have something to fear and those who don't want to trust me can not participate in this event. For the rest - shipping is possible worldwide.

Here are my ideas at the moment:

1 - I don't want to burn NFT for merch. Many projects have tried to do this they keep having different difficulties.

2 - I will make this trope completely free and take care of shipping costs

3 - Was thinking of giving the merch away for achievements, or for participating in some new made up promotion. What are your ideas?

4 - I would like to make unique merch. Maybe add an AR in there, but that would require help.

5 - What do you think of the design?

And finally, a few words about the hoodie. As I said in the beginning - I used to make clothes. As an example - manufactured hoodies. The distinctive feature is the interfering film of metal. At the same time the hoodies can be washed without any harm. They shine incredibly cool. This technology is used only by the manufacturers of AMD stickers and Balenciaga. The hoodie is 80 percent cotton.

Very raw designs made in Photoshop:

[OffcierCia]

Appreciate ideas!

[zhongfu]

for those worried about doxxing their own addresses, you might want to consider freight forwarding services -- some offer pickup/collection instead of home delivery too

[Xerenity]

Hi, great idea. First and Last looks amazing!

[degen92]

awesome 👏🏻 gonna definitely try to get one

[alexflorence]

Cool idea & design, would wear. Maybe put a small 10b57e6da0 onto it somewhere?

[BCtotheNFT]

Brilliant idea, and the designs are top notch. Love the first one.

[Ulydev]

Love the idea. My favourite designs are 3. and 4. Less is more :)

[Xerenity]

Maybe we want try to make alternative white style?

[OffcierCia]

Wdyt about design? Maybe replace or redo smth?

[alexflorence]

Wdyt about design? Maybe replace or redo smth?

Maybe give people a chance to submit their design ideas? I feel like we have a few cool artists in the community.

[cocombria]

sir design is dope and i hope dao will allocate funds for dis i will not burn my lobster for sure) there can be some tiers for merch or diff types and merch from some meetups for lobsters only like for dis nft you can get dis hoodie and for another - dis cap/tee/bag/another hoodie etc

[OffcierCia]

@alexflorence that would be fair, I jus suggested several on my own

[OffcierCia]

@alexflorence Appreciate if any designers from community will do smth ❤️ I m absolutely for it

[alexflorence]

@alexflorence that would be fair, I jus suggested several on my own

I think yours are pretty cool already. Would it be a big deal to issue multiple different motives? It would not be ideal if we had to choose just one in case there are many great submissions.

[OffcierCia]

@alexflorence Good idea! Will do even more designs this week, haven't connected with the loldefi.com team yet, Banteg suggested cooperating with them.

[drnicka]

Looks great! I'd love one. Design 3 is my fav.

[justmvg]

Those designs look really good. Can tell you have experience there. I like the suggestion of putting 10b57e6da0 somewhere as well.

Suggestion: can we make the sleeves end with 🦞 claws? /s

Jokes aside, wanna make this limited to a certain amt?

[tushar7-arch]

If we can get them produced, how about we get a few prepared and donate too maybe through DAO treasury? From India and more than 650k people die here every year due to cold once winter hits

[jrmr92]

Love the idea and especially the first design. Would be really cool to have a couple of different designs with one common denominator aka small logo, for example 10b57e6da0 (but not necessarily on the chest).

If you like any design help or collab, happy to intro you to my friend Zeili. She's also into art & fashion and has already produced some Lobster art as I found out by coincidence - when I told her about Lobsterdao.

[Tahirsheikh1177]

Looks good .. When hoodie sir Waiting🦞🦞🦞🦞

[ahboyash]

I like design 1! Depends on how many are available, wondering if its possible to put a serial code for each hoodie (i.e 10b57e6da0 #1 10b57e6da0 #2 and so on) to make each more exclusive. it could be on the tag inside

[gflow33]

These look beautiful! I didn't get any nfts but this would be awesome to cop

[ethduke]

Great idea, I like the design, looks bright and fresh, full support. And idea to add ' 10b57e6da0' is also great.

[saszer]

Would love to contribute on AR part of it, however those shiny lobs on the prototype won't track well.

[MetalHelmet]

Does this great initiative for initial minter only ? Or those who missed drop and bought NFT also could be in game ?

[MetalHelmet]

First one sample looks great Also it would be a great to have less coloured picture visible but have some 'invisible' (transparent)and light reflecting elements in light Maybe put '10b57e6da0' as transparent and night light visible only

[OffcierCia]

"Does this great initiative for initial minter only ? Or those who missed drop and bought NFT also could be in game ?"

I m thinking of arranging a separate action. Stupid example: Write what you've learned from Lobsters over years and then jury will choose the best thread. Wdyt?

I m still thinking in which way to do it. I m 100% sure it will not require burning NFTs @MetalHelmet

[OffcierCia]

@MetalHelmet Will do more light colored designs this evening, good take

[Fortuno89]

This is an awesome idea CIA Officer, and im sure it will be the first of many merch concepts build around Lobsters.

I also liked the idea mentioned before of adding “10b57e6da0” somewhere in the design.

[h3ku]

Dope idea! I specially like the design with the smaller lobster claw.

Totally agree also with including “10b57e6da0” in the design somewhere.

[rapotn]

Everybody loves it...don't waste more time and pass it straight to snapshot plz

[alex-core-0x]

[James0000007]

All original minters will want a hoodie. What would the cost be of 1200 hoodies?

Otherwise it will be too exclusive 20K? IMO a merch bag would be a good way to start the DAO . As long as everything is exclusive pieces

sound good. I also wish people with the NTF can get the hoodie if they want it. And the fees earned for the DAO could help!!

looks nice <3

[Kingway87]

nice ! love hoodie, as usual, hehe , i think perhaps we can wait for reveal, n insert the element all on the hoodie, no matter u r crab ,lobster ,shrimp, we r all family ~ hahaha seafood family lol

maybe we can run some contest, put ur lobster pfp on twitter for a month then you are entitled to get it ? or open for everyone who even dint know not own the lobsterdao nft yet , take 1 from dao for public use on pfp kek

Like the above designs from Lobster promo video.

[OffcierCia]

@James0000007 Selfcost of 1 hoodie is 100$ and 27$ is an approx delivery cost (worldwide), so I think 100 hoodies will be ok for the first drop. Wdyt?

[MioQuispe]

Very nice, would be cool. Mostly a fan of the less flashy designs, like 3rd one. The other ones could perhaps also work if they were resized / moved a bit? +1 also on 10b57e6da0 somewhere. maybe even one with just that.

[hamzahkhan]

@OffcierCia how would you shortlist the 100 addresses to send first hoodies to?

[etucx0]

Great design. 100 pieces should be enough for the start.

[IvanGBi]

Would strongly suggest to make this like unisocks maybe. Can only get if ownership verified. Or burn to get. Think...

[OffcierCia]

Dear friends, new information about hoodies will be published at the end of the week or over the weekend. I want everyone to calm down a bit) There will be details soon! Thank you everyone for the ideas!

[OffcierCia]

Will probably choose the first 20 manually (admins and active users) and the rest for owning a certain amount of NFT @hamzahkhan

[Kingway87]

basically for the top 50 people member only maybe? a bit unfair tbh , at least open up some quota or random pick ....

[OffcierCia]

@Kingway87 In this case we'll have a voting on it, I wanna make it in fair way.

[blockminded]

I would be happy to contribute in some way to making sure this is a success

[Dogetoshi]

I'd recommend making enough for every minter to get (if possible) and let treasury cover cost.
