Support AT by buying some tasteless clothes and other worthless shit.

There are a lot of pedos on here. Who wants to publicly advertise their pedophilia with a T-shirt?

There are a lot of religious nuts in the USA. Who wants to publicly advertise their ignorance with an American flag?

I'm not a nationalist pig, so it doesn't phase me.

He meant "creative".

I think sysop was asking what design, not literally asking what that guy meant to type.

Maybe an image to spice it up? I'm not all that particularly creative, but here's an example I threw together in a few minutes:

Again, someone with some more talent should give it a try, hahah.

The problem is to make it actually fit on the items. They don't tell you the dimensions (as far as I can see) and you have to guess and stuff. And pictures look really crappy. I tried some…

The templates are here: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/templates.aspx

The pictures you tried probably looked bad because they were at a low resolution. Even if you want to keep it simple, though, you can probably make something more engaging. This site's default colors look really nice on black.

Too bad they won't let you put stuff on the backs of dark t-shirts.

Added your logo to some black items.

I think it would be a good idea to use the Anonymous logo with a speech bubble that says "www.AnonTalk.com" on it. I'd actually buy a shirt if I knew I couldn't just use a permanent marker to do what the CafePress store currently offers.

I don't have any vector graphics of the favicon.

What is the Anonymous logo? I could probably vector it, assuming it isn't too complicated.

Look at the favicon for the "logo" of AT: http://www.anontalk.com/favicon.ico

Ah, that thing.

I'll vector it when I have the time. I've got some homework to finish up tonight.

Cool. However, it looked strange when I tried it on CafePress. I don't know how to solve that.

Here's one with transparency (for black apparel):

And here's an invert that may look a bit better for white apparel:

The original one seems to have some weird figure-ground stuff going on to me. That could also be fixed by a border, though.

Up to you.

The CafePress interface is confusing to say the least. I barely dare to try anything now because every time I do, it adds all the items (that I am merely "previewing") to the live store! And then I have to manually select all the items, one by one, and delete them. Very time-consuming and annoying…

Are you able to preview things without being a member?

Yeah, just go here:

…or use the sidebar to navigate to another piece of apparel. Hit the "CREATE IT!" button at the bottom right and you're good to go.
