I know that this was up, but Jord and I have changed things up! We really want to see what you can do, so we’re giving you some more time. So, new rules (sort of) and a new end date!

DESIGN A SHIRT!

CONTEST TIME!

We have to limit the amount of colors/textures used, but throw at us whatever you come up with. If we need to fix it a bit to make it work, we will work with you to make that happen. We will both be looking at each design that comes in, carefully deciding what we want next to represent Team Astronautalis.

RULES:

1. Each entry must be emailed (attached picture or in the body of the email, whichever works) to teamastronautalis@gmail.com with the subject “Team Astronautalis Contest!” Put your name in the email, please, just so we can keep up.

2. Can’t decide on one entry? Don’t worry about it! Design as many as you want, and send them in. We’ve decided we want to see anything and everything, so now there aren’t any limitations on quantity.

3. Not Photoshop savvy? Describe your vision to us, in as much detail as possible. We’ll see if we can manage to make it up on our own.

4. Try to stay limited on how much detail you put in to it. Think of what you see as shirt designs; not many are over the top. “Team Astronautalis” has to be in the shirt somewhere, since these are team shirts!

5. All entries must be in by May 31, 11:59 pm PST!

6. Tell us what color shirt you imagine it being on, or make the background of your submitted image that color.

7. Be creative! We want to see what awesome things you all can come up with. Put a little color in it, if you want. Show us how amazing you all are!

If we pick your shirt as the winner, you will not only get it up on the street team store for sale with your name attached, but we will also send you a free shirt with your design! Everyone will know it was your design, and they will be representing the team with your help!

First: Hello to all of the new followers. There are so many of you.

Second: Remember this shirt?

Some of you loved it, some of you thought it was great but a tad simple, some of you bought it, and so on.

Well, Jord and myself have decided that we want to create a new shirt. Well, we don’t want to. We want you, the FANS!, to design one.

You all saw my introductory post, I’m sure. (psst: http://stastronautalis.tumblr.com/post/19997811349/meet-your-team-leader )

I forgot to add something to that.

I have this tattooed to my rib cage, courtesy of The River, The Woods:

Boom.

Have you ordered your TE∆M ∆STRON∆UT∆LIS shirts yet?

Order soon and I will be including many prints I have personally shot of Astronautalis.

Maybe you’ll get this one, or this one, or that one!

Or maybe all of them!

This is a not-for-profit project. Your purchase gets you a kick ass tee and also pushes the Street Team to awesome possibilities. We want to make for gear for people like you! Patches, hoodies, new tees, stickers!!!

REBLOG/RT/SHARE!

Tell your friends, tell you neighbor, tell your mom (my mom loves Astronautalis)!

Your support has been awesome. Let’s push this to the next level. We can do it with your help!

Yes! Jord is amazing, and he has worked SO hard for this team! He has gone above and beyond pushing this team to the next level.

Want to get involved? Strike up a conversation with me. It is honestly that easy! Tell me what you like to do. Do you do photography? Art? Do you know someone that can make things for not much money? That’s how these shirts came into existence. I knew someone who knew someone, a design was made, and just like that! Shirts. Ones that Jord and I are overly thrilled about.

My ask box is open, the team email is teamastronautalis@gmail.com, the Twitter is @STastronautalis. I’m open to hear from you about anything and everything that will push this team from awesome to AMAZING. To do that, I need you!

Hi there. I’m Berlin Kofoed (ie @SilentHalls or makingyourowndeathbed.tumblr.com). I’m 24 years old, I live in Seattle, WA, and I have a hard time making normal faces in pictures.

It’s really a problem.

Anyway, hello! I am the person behind @STastronautalis and this Tumblr page. I’ve been working behind the scenes (sort of) on the Street Team for months now, and I decided that I might introduce myself. I play drums (for 15 years now), I work at a music shop, and I go to a different concert pretty much every other week. Or at least, that’s what it feels like right now.

Since August, Astronautalis has been a huge part of my life. I started working with bands (promoting, running the merch table, drum repairs, whatever they needed) when I was 14 for a local band by the name of Mountain Con (since broken up). I loved it, but stopped just after graduating high school because I wanted to pursue other things. Well, Astronautalis has done nothing but revamp my interest, and everyone is responding so well! I mean, I am floored by you guys all the time. I’ve never seen such a ravenous bunch of fans that love this music so much.

I listen to a variety of things, and it changes all the time. I didn’t listen to much rap until Astronautalis (I liked Eminem, but really, that was all). Now my iPod is a bit more diverse. He has sparked my musical interest again!

Jord Plourde (@JordPlourde) is my right hand man in this. He doesn’t run the Twitter page, but he posts for the team just as often. We talk on an almost daily basis about new ideas, old ideas, and just about everything we can think of. I go to him for everything, because he is amazing and creative.

Welcome to the team, all of you crazy Trouble Hunters! It’s nice to meet you!

Jord says that girl’s sizes ARE available, and that he is currently updating the site to accommodate that!

So, if you wanted to order that, just hold on tight! Keep an eye on the site, and it will be ready soon.

Also: if you have ordered your shirt and wish to change it TO a girl’s size, that is possible. The orders haven’t been sent to print yet. Email Jord at Plourde.j89@gmail.com telling him your name/email you used to order, and the new size for a girl’s tee you would like.

Makin’ changes!

Have you seen this yet? You might be saying “I know, you are making shirts.” BUT things have been updated! The shirts are NOW AVAILABLE. There is international shipping available! And, if you order in the next few days, Jord is going to toss in some Astronautalis prints for you.

Now, you know you want to show the world which team you roll with. If these do well, new designs, colors, and shirt styles will be planned and become available. These are simpler, as I’ve heard, but they are still just right to start with. Help us sell these, and even more amazing shirts will come into existence!

So head on over to stastronautalis.bigcartel.com and get your Team Astronautalis shirt! Tell your friends! Sell, sell, sell!
