Adobe branded merchandise
Adobe Branded Merchandise: Bamboo polos, colored-pencil drawing kits, monster hoodies, even cribwear for kiddies, all with that little black/red/white Adobe logo on it. (No "Mike Chambers Special Edition Halo 2" yet, though, with Kevin Lynch flying on a broomstick and casting spells... maybe next season.) The FAQ mentions international sales, volume purchases, and gift certificates. There's even something in brown!

That's all nice and "corporate" but i'm looking for more underground t-shirts - something with flex or apollo logos on them with cool slogans.
I have a source that can produce these are good cost for small quantities. Wondering if anyone is interested in helping me design a shirt or two - make the t-shirts cost a few bucks over cost and all the profit could be donated to a charity (I would like to say The Andy Roddick Foundation - www.arfoundation.org. I manage andyroddick.com, and I think the foundation deserves some additional exposure.)
Anyway, just an idea. :-)

I'm going to agree with Dave - I wouldn't mind some of the stuff on the site, but I would love to have some gear with the individual product logos or slogans on them.
Even some stuff with the now 'old-school' logos - I'm thinking that one of those FlexFit hats with the Studio 8-style "F" or "Fx" would be hot.
Either way, I'll probably be ordering some stuff later today. ;)

I think I agree with you both, because I'm not keen on labeled clothing myself... check out what I'm wearing today, f'rinstance:

But I've seen in the past that some folks really like such labels, which is why I posted the site when I learned of it.
The above site was arranged by Adobe Corporate, I think, which is why there's just the overall Adobe logo. Individual product teams still do their own specific projects, such as this month's Scorpio gear:

Would it (seriously) violate copyrights to make such a logo shirt for yourself and others I wonder? I guess you couldn't use the logo, but maybe the word ("Apollo" can be copyrighted, but maybe "Flex" is...) or maybe a slogan.
I'll be dreaming of a grey t-shirt with a nice red apollo logo on the front tonight.

Indeed it would be nice to see some shirts and stuff for the individual software items.
We promote thought the Adobe Partner newtwork the idea of wearing logo branded shirts in the classroom and onsite with customers. It helps us brand ourselves closer to Adobe and we hope that it helps Adobe increase brand awareness.
Some FX stuff would be nice...
