I also admire Nols firm stand on the way he likes to run his business. My intention was not to persuade him to do otherwise, it was just a suggestion. Well, bygones! Banchi yamare benem yimer biye yewdedkuten t-shirt egezalehu. I would love to have the alien t-shirt in white or blue, yellow is not my color. If it is not available I will have the millenium one.

Not trying to speak on behalf of Nol, but I think he was just standing firm on Bernos' decision not to design in geez fonts...and suggesting who/where you can buy such t-shirts from. Personally, I like the t-shirts because they are different...and okk, maybe a good suggestion could come from 'an admirer'....but, don't you think I, being a customer, would say: 'Bene Yamral'? :) so, indiamribih, mejemeria t-shirt geeza. :) Zgent

You could have explained your issues better. I thought I was discussing things in a civilized manner not complaining about your products. The "Yagerlij and yichi nat..." T-shirts are available for a much lesser price in Addis and elsewhere. If you think it is a money issue, you got it all wrong, for me there is no big differnce between 15 and 20.99 I said it before, the design and quality of your T-shirts are great a 5.99 additional cost is too little to complain about.

I never ever said geez fonts decrease quality… they just limit the marketability… we want to widen the audience

I would like to add that I was tempted many times because they are really good in design. I am sure you have set a high standard for your products and they indeed look nice. I still fail to see how geez fonts decrease the quality of your products. Is it only the customers who are allowed to have a say on your products? How about an admirer, afar from the market?

However, I still fail to get the reason behind not using Ethiopic font for the words once you have accomodated the numbers. I have expressed my feelings about the omission of geez font on your T-shirts in a earlier comment. Great design indeed!

We contacted few experts that know the right was to spell it out, and there was no consensus but most agreed that it is possible to have numbers with no feedels. Shee is used and everyone understands it but its not the original intention when the geez numbers are written.

Yemi, I think the question of 100 has been answered. Also we limit the quantity of the printed shirts because the profit margin on each tshirt is very low and for us to make a little bit of money we absolutely have to sell out/ or almost sell out of all our tshirts. We do realize that the Milli might sell out quickly but one thing we will do if the demand is way higher than the availability is to make part two of the milli concept... I think this is going to be unlikely though, but we will see! Celeb we wont sell out in 24 hours, if we do we will be shocked. :) You will definitely get one!
