Now the $27-$34 category, same thing.
Move on down to the below $22 category and you start seeing shirts with similar print methods used. $35 for that shirt is about twice what I would expect to see. I print all over prints and foil prints on a daily basis, and most of those companies don't even charge $35 per shirt, and they are paying premium to have them printed. $35 for that shirt is crazy.

i have an inspirit t-shirt with just "inspirt logo" on the front and that cost $35.

$35 for you may be crazy but to me now im wearing them i think they were worth it...Minotauro team is my team. These t-shirts aren't some fruit of the loom printing press crap.

if $35 is crazy! then what about the silly prices of most mma tees these days like the crap silverstar bangs out every UFC which looks terrible! at $40 +

Have you seen the machida ufc 104 sig

omg gross.

so dude whats your limit on t-shirts then? $20-30?

I'm not saying that they are too expensive for me, in my professional opinion, the Minotauro shirts are overpriced compared to the rest of the fashion retail industry. I don't even wear any of those crazy looking t-shirts, but my company prints similar shirts, so I know what is involved in making them, and what prices most retail companies charge. I know the costs involved and what kind of production capabilities it takes to print shirts, and companies like Affliction and Silver Star are using the most advanced decoration methods available, which equate to higher costs. There are only a handful of screen printing companies nationwide that can print those shirts, whereas you can walk into any local print shop and have a design like the Minotauro shirt printed. I was just giving my opinion based on my knowledge of the apparel industry, not my opinion as a retail customer. I hope he sells a million of them.
