How come no funny T's???

Lovving my Cooper but just have to wonder with the quirkiness of the MINI and the many funny tv spots, how come no funny T-shirts? Searched e-bay and several vendors and the best I can come up with are 70's style cheesy boardwalk t-shirt shop caricature drawings and some others with ho hum sayings. I would think with all the funny "size" openings and some of the themes from the tv spots that there would be oodles to choose from but....

It's because MINIs marketing team isn't involved with their merchandise team. All the official MINI merchandise is very deliberate, and straightforward. Unlike their commercials, which are different, quirky, and fun.

Not bad, certainly the best I seen yet but still not quite meeting that potential.

It's true, they need to update the shirts more often, too. The dealer's had the same stuff all year. I hope we get the 50th anniversary stuff.

The think about Cafe Press is that you can create your own design and they will put it on T-shirts, tote bags, mugs, underwear, baby bibs, or a lot of other things, as you desire. Kind of a fun site.
