Bundyland shirts?

[Spare Tire Dixon]

Does anyone sell the Bundyland T-shirts like they wore in the Yard Sale episode? I would love to buy one.

I think ebay might be the only option... if that.

I have never seen one for sale anywhere, but I'm with you, I'd be all over that.

I found this picture. I wonder if anyone could do something with it.

mwcfan1 sold one on eBay a couple of years ago, in fact, it was the one Ed O'Neill wore in that episode.

Hi I'm new to the forum, and have joined up cos of these shirts. I've watched MWC a lot over the years but it's only recently that I've started watching in order so I can see them all. I fell in love with the Bundyland shirts so off to google I popped to try and find one. Obviously I didn't but saw the larger pic here. I am an artist so could easily draw it and get it printed since I have my own tshirt range. Problem is the copyright if I wanted to offer them to other people.
I could just redraw it in my own style and it would go under fair use but it's such a fantastic design it'd be a shame to change it much. So I wondered if anyone had found out who the original artist is or any other thoughts?
Thanks =)

Firstly - welcome!
Secondly - no idea who designed the image, etc. I would love to know.

I think that's one questions we will not be able to solve (to find the designer).
But on the other hand I don't think that there will be a copyright issue if you just do it for yourself or a few people.
You could try to ask Sony, but I bet you won't get an answer.

Please, please, please make this shirt as close to the original as you can. If you do I will be one of the first to buy one.

[Dr. Shoe]

And I want the 2nd one. No one is going to go after you for copyright infringement, just look at all the NO MA'AM and Polk High stuff out there!

[Shoe Dick]

You'll have a buyer here as well!

[marriedaniac]

Yeah, just look at these shirts:

I'm sure they're all bound by copyright.


...That means I want one too.

Copyright is such a difficult area. I considered contacting Sony but I doubted a reply too. I found the art director from that episode and have been considering contacting him.
However I can't imagine it'd be a massive seller (here in the UK at least, don't know about the US) and it's not like I make a massive profit from any of my shirts so maybe offering a few would be ok? I dunno, I don't like to take credit for other artists works. I'm finding it a tough issue, especially since I really want one! =D
I think once I get through some of my other work this week I'll finish drawing it up and see what I'll think. And probably run it past you guys =)
Thanks for the replies and the welcome! Must find some time to check out some of the other discussions.

[marriedaniac]

Definitely run it through here!
You could just make a shirt for yourself and show it to us. If someone, perhaps, wanted one like it for a gift or something...

Haha nice try. Maybe if I was rich but I'm definitely not!
