I always think about things like this when I'm at the cinema seeing an Orlando Bloom film or at the bookshop passing by the LOTR section. "What if he's a Downie?!" Several times I've overheard conversations with some word that sounds LOTR-ish and I do my share of eavesdropping just to see.

I ordered a t-shirt a while back when Mr. Smith was moving(?), I think, so it was delayed a bit. Hopefully it'll arrive soon so I can wear it to fencing tournies, Academy, and other places Downies might be lurking ... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I like the buttons and bumperstickers ideas ... and the home-made t-shirt idea. With those printing stores such as Kinkos, the latter would be relatively easy. I don't think you'd be able to put LOTR pictures on them though ... aren't they copyrited (sp)?

I also agree that we should expand the Barrow-Down logo merchandise. I'm talking all the college/universtiy wear such as sweatpants, shorts, socks, sweatshirts, blankets, pennants, baseball caps, keychains, pencils, pens, travel coffee mugs ...
