See, I'm a cheapskate so it kind of depends on if I like the color, design, and price.
As far as color, I vote no on white. Black, grey, navy blue, green, and red would all be fine.
Design? Well...seeing as the site's mascot is trademarked...I dunno. Price? I wouldn't really want to pay over $20 USD, but at the same time, I'd like it to be made to last. So I might go up to $30 if it was better quality.
Yeah, I kinda wish I could hire a skilled designer to re-imagine the Beat character to the point where it wouldn't technically be "Beat" but would have the same kinda style. Does that make any sense?
I just leaned over and asked my friend if he could do it (a very talented artist I must add, he's the guy who models everything for my games). He said he would do it for me.
...maybe for a shirt... hint... hint...
I could go for that... If he could pass along some sketches for me to look at along the way, that would be cool
my buddy did up the sketch... he had to go to sleep (we've been up all night). He's scanning it in later to put clothes and blades on him and colour him up.
It's a character relative to beat, but not, in a pose some what similar to that of the cover of 'jet set radio future' (US ver). He's spray painting something on the wall (I'm assuming racketboy.com) from left to right... his pose would leave him on the right hand side of the grafitti slightly covering the 'co' of '.com'.
I would show you the sketch, but it isn't scanned yet and it's just a posed body in a wife beater. He's going to add the clothes and rollerblades in Photoshop.

There might be a copyright issue with that though. Racketboy (purely as a business) can't sell them without Sega's permission, and no doubt Sega would want a cut (if not all of the profit) even if they allowed him to redistribute artwork assets for profit.
Besides cafepress won't allow anyone to sell copyrighted images (unless you own the design/rights obviously) on their shirts. You could probably get away with it for a while but they will take the designs down at least and may pursue further action.

i think its about £9 with international shipping

yeah, i was kinda hoping it would have the racketboy logo like at the top of the website. that shirt has the site name real small under retro gamer. any plans for an updated shirt design?
