Agree new design looks great. Would be in for a T shirt or hat or sticker
I have some merch created and have ordered some samples to me to verify the quality before I offer them for sale. They are expected to arrive by June 1st. Will update this thread once I get them.
Some examples of the initial merch. I had to place a rather large sample order to make sure it would be decent quality. I've got a hat (embroidered logo w/various color choices), couple shirts (various colors), some stickers, mug and a hoodie (various colors). Here are the mock-ups of a few. I'll post actual pics when I get them, and if it's decent quality, will open the store to order them.

Unfortunately, there are no ball-cap type options without the 'button' on top other than boonie/bucket type hats and beanies.
I put industrial adhesive backed soft side velcro on the face of some shelves in my gun room just to stick patches to.
Okay, the sample items have arrived! Attached are some pics and my impressions.
First, I knew the image samples would look "perfect" and much better than the actual items. I've tried ordering some inexpensive merch in the past, and quality was pretty bad, so I had low expectations even though I was specifically looking for a company that would offer higher quality at a reasonable price-point.
The TLDR is: I think we hit the mark here. Cost is fair, and product quality is certainly on the higher end.
More details:
I ordered a mug (white), some stickers, a t-shirt (navy) and a hat (khaki).
The mug: I'm not a coffee drinker, so I don't have a lot of experience using mugs, but I can't see how this could look any better. The mug itself is quality and the logo is glossy like the rest of the mug - not an imprint or after-the-fact add-on. The quality of the logo is also very high. I neglected to get it in the pic, but it of course has a generous-sized handle opposite the logo.
The stickers: I was half-expecting to get something that looked like someone put a sticker page in a color laser printer and printed them. That's not at all what I got here. These are very high quality and pre-cut around the edges. I'd say the quality is on par with the stickers that come with a new SIG firearm or a Magpul order. They are glossy and very sharp. I was worried that the smaller ones would be hard to read and the larger ones would be pixelated - not the case in the least. I will definitely be getting more of these for myself.
The t-shirt: I got it in Navy and deliberately ordered a larger size (3XL). The t-shirt is good quality, definitely not something you'd get from one of the racks at Wal-Mart. 100% ring-spun cotton, 6.1 oz fabric, and is pre-shrunk. If I hold it up to the light, I can't see through it. Now, it's not a Carhartt, but it's also not going to disappoint. The logo is also sharp and vibrant. I went with a DTF print, so it's on top of the shirt (very thinly). I may try a DTG print - those are the ones that are 'soaked' into the shirt fabric and will eventually crack and fade more... which is why I went with DTF instead here.
I might offer both as options. With the HUGE full size logo on the back, it makes the shirt "heavier" - but it definitely stands out. I also think I will offer some without the logo on the back.
Overall, I really like the shirt, but the Navy color I picked probably wouldn't be my first choice if I did it again. Regardless, there will be multiple color choices.
The hat: The hat is super great quality. 100% cotton and is adjustable. The logo is embroidered, uses 5 colors and is perfectly centered. The biggest issue is that the text in the logo is difficult to read - but that's just a byproduct of the text being pretty small. I like the hat; it looks good and wears well. I may see if I can add "ArizonaShooting.org" to the back of the cap, just above the opening.
