    Hexus Merchandise?

    What I was wondering is why doesn't Hexus have its own online shop.
    I mean for starters, who could resist Hexus branded clothing?
    I would happily walk around with Hexus.net written on my cap/t-shirt
    Stuff like caps, t-shirts, stickers. All manner of things infact, I would love to have a Hexus.net window applique
    Here what i'm saying guys?
    Thanks again Hexus, j00 guys r0xzor!

    REgistering my interest in this too. Sounds like an ace idea for LANs etc to help spot your fellow hexites.

    It was looked at a while back - but getting kit of a good enough quality at the right price was impractical

    That sucks!

    Couldn't you pair up with another company, like another website that sells merchandise (like t-shirts and everything) and sell Hexus kit through them?

    hmmm.... I might see how a "mock-up" hexus shirt would look in photochop.

    Knowing my chopping skills - its will be absolutely garbage to look at but give you the general jist of the idea

    Sounds like a good idea.
    Maybe we should set up a petition or some kind of campaign?

    It's not just about finding a manufacturer, there are all the other costs to consider e.g. setting up of a secure payments server or some other mechanism to accept credit card payments, delivery costs, insurance, refunds, returns and so on. Whilst we'd love to start up a series of products for sale it's not as simple as saying "HEXUS mugs would be cool". The HEXUS brand name is important and we would want to ensure that any product we sold met the high standards we have within the company.

    That being said maybe it is time to investigate the market again and see if we can identify a suitable supplier for some small items e.g. mugs, mousemats, case decals etc and then build from there. That decision rests with David

    Would work out to expensive that way as each one would be a custom order.
