Surely you've incurred costs already. Not right by me that you have to still wait.

Right you are. Silks-screen printing is hella expensive for 40+ double-sided shirts at once. But the I didn't want plastered on stickers, so meh. From the beginning I knew I wasn't going to get reimbursed before this was done and dusted. I took that risk. Not asking for an applause or a pat on the back, just that everyone honour their side of the deal.
To everyone else: shirts are en route. Details for payment will be communicated to you individually.
I thought this project was going to be a lot easier and less time consuming than it turned out to be. But I learned from it, so I'm better equipped to tackle something alike in the future. And I guess I "gave back", however hippie that may sound. :lol:
Remember to post selfies when you get your shirts!

First there was the rumours of guys in the WC using AAS's being under surveillance. This was chalked up to rival factions etc etc.
Then this today:
m.news24.com/news24/SouthAfrica/News/r24...id-bust-in-de-doorns
Now, I don't believe in coincidence.
Perhaps it would be prudent to NOT wear our T shirts in public.
I know we're all excited, but one of the tenants of this site is anonymity. The admins go to great lengths to ensure this.
It won't take long for any surveillance to quickly identify several members. This could rapidly make matters worse for many of us, very quickly.
P.s. I still want my t shirt though...

If you look in instagram you see guys wearing ciccone and keifei shirts and hats. One guy even posted a pic of his phone cover with keifei on it. Some even have the brand name in their bio with the words "sponsored athlete". How are these guys seemingly untouchable? Or are they just taking a risk? Do they assume people are ignorant to these names or simply don't care?Cyclo wrote: Perhaps it would be prudent to NOT wear our T shirts in public.

Obviously there is still a risk of social prejudice when you are associated with steroids, but lately it appears that it's not much of an issue. Perhaps it's because society is so messed-up that nobody cares any more and they are probably so preoccupied with their own survival in this country that they don't care what others do.
The ciccone and keifei shirts are purely for marketing purposes which in my opinion is dangerous because you are openly broadcasting to the world you support an illegal underground operation. I guess they can claim that they are promoting the supplements, but we all know the main purpose is to promote their steroid products. With the rivalry between the various gangster labs I will be very careful to wear a branded t-shirt because you might get assaulted or killed by a member of a rival gangster lab.

@Chrono: My sentiment exactly. I think the danger lies in using a laboratory or steroids brand's name. First time I saw it I thought to myself "this chick is ballsy wearing that" and laughed at it. Now I cringe every time I see it. I've even seen a guy on IronTribe post a pick in his Ciccone stringer standing next to his child all happy lovey-dovey.
admin wrote: I don't think anyone will have issues wearing one of Furk's t-shirts in public. This site is about promoting the safe and responsible use of steroids, so if anything it means you support that cause.
A good point to raise in your defence if someone is accusing you of something. I mean that's why we're all here, safe usage and info sharing.
admin wrote: Also, it's just the site logo and there is no brand name, URL or product being advertised, so the few people that will recognize the logo probably already use steroids.
It was important for me that the design not use keywords or references that could be directly related to steroids or PEDs for the purpose of incrimination. There is a line between tactful and fun vs. blatant and self-incriminating. Also, I think of our ASSA shirts as a matter of pride, not selfish promoting or marketing. Non of the members benefit from wearing the logo, it's not unethical, we're not being rude to a certain group of people, we're not hurting anyone or their business. I really don't see a dilemma in wearing these particular shirts, I'm honestly not afraid to wear my shirts in public.
