The amount of dedication and effort put into this series is amazing, its not only informative but very entertaining. Keep up the good shit! Also hello from new zealand :)
I love how many other creators I respect also love this content. Nerd City is going to be my little hipster "yeah I watched it when they were under a million subs" gem. Respect. P.s. When's the next iDubbbz collab?! 😉🤘
As a graphic designer looking at Jake Pauls Merch makes me sick. You learn how to use clipart as a reference and make your original art. He's got the money for a designer but nooo just steal from the internet
@@stinacorbett2375 I think there will be a part 3 considering what happened in the 10k on merch video that came out a couple months after this one but it'll be awhile because they keep getting on other projects. We were supposed to get a thot patrol video but we got the youtuber lie instead
He'll get right on it once the Ricegum money dries up. I'm certain at this point that his new M.O. is to only produce as much content as he needs to to live comfortably.
Nerd is the real hero we need, he's pretty neutral to most people, and makes a lot of friends and hes taught me a hell of a lot about UA-cam and the internet
If I'm to buy merch, I want merch that doesn't have the youtubers name plastered in bold letters. I want something more descrete, so I personally don't feel judged wearing it; I want to see original designs but obscure references, so I can feel proud showing off my knowledge of one's channel, yet not gloating I have X youtuber's merch.
Each one of your uploads is like a birthday present, I'm looking forward to this series progressing. As a novice in the merch operation myself, I really want to learn how to offer a better product, while using a service that still gives me the time to focus on content creation (POD). Or I could just be Jake Paul and sell clip art to pre teens.
i’ve always heard of Nerd City but never watched any videos until today, watching the Lele one and this one. how is this channel under 1mil subs? the editing, the visuals, the presentation and format, the characters; everything is so bloody sick. i love it so much
I watch your videos the way I would watch an HBO or Netflix television episode, seriously . I go in with high expectations , sit down on my couch to watch it (opposed to most other creators, I’ll just watch on my phone or at work) . The quality is insane, the fact that you can hold my attention for 25 minutes about youtuber merchandise , and make it genuinely interesting, is amazing. Thank you for being someone who actually represents the term “content creator”.
A friend of mine was wearing a Teddy Fresh hoodie and I asked if they watched H3. They had no clue who he was. They just liked the hoodie and bought it.
Nerd City is perhaps the best example of Quality Over Quantity thriving on UA-cam, the platform with an algorithm built to discourage that kind of content. Captain Disillusion, Bad Lip Reading, and CGP Grey as well, but Nerd City especially.

Agreed! It frustrates me that still, to this day, I can see comments who want Nerd City to upload more consistently. But like you, I'll rather have great content uploaded more occasionally than low quality content uploaded every hour.
I'm sure he will get there, it is so much work, I don't think most people realize what it takes to put out content like this. I agree, quality over quantity, always! Especially when his viewers are likely older and not jake paulers.
"You could've borrowed a crayola from one of your fans" I CHOKED. Seriously though, I can't wait for the rest of the videos in this series, I'm very interested in this topic.
As an Artist it's really nice to hear about you promoting artist commissions. For some reason people hate the idea of paying for art, thinking it should be free... Because y'know... "It's easy"
Artists are the most under appreciated part of the UA-cam community. They really up the production quality on a lot of our channels and make us look good. I want to return some of those favors in the next episode
@@nerdcity I really appreciate what you guys are doing here. I'm an artist as well who has tried for years now to make a commission based lifestyle, but it's so difficult these days to find people actually willing to put the money out there. As a designer, I'm very interested to see how you guys discuss the artist aspect of things, and who knows, maybe there's places I can advertise my art that I don't know about. Can't wait to see the rest of the series, keep up the amazing content!
To be fair most of the people who think Art should be free are very likely to also think their own art should not be free, because... well they're cunts is what I'm saying.
The Teddy Fresh brand is a major win imo. I have friends who buy the stuff religiously but have no idea who H3 is but just think it's just a sick brand. That's how you merch
Maybe its because its not merch? Teddy fresh was created by heila klein (dont know if its correct spelling) when she got back from war in her home country. Before h3h3 was big.
@@minuscaseus its like tsuki market by pewds and marzia or cloakbrand by mark and sean i think? They are stand alone clothing companies wich is only related to them because of the owner.
@@spaghettigum maybe you're thinking of the fact that Hila trained in the Israeli army when she was younger? There's definitely violence in the region, but she was never deployed or saw any combat as far as I know.
@@nerdcity Ahh it's so cool to have you reply to me! I can go to sleep happy now. It's almost bedtime in Europe. I've outgrown my Aladdin PJs though :(
I think it's because they focus on making amazing quality content rather than churning out exactly ten minutes of video filled with 60% garbage and 40% sponsor spots
@@nerdcity I wonder where can I find more about your channel and who you people are? Your production quality is levels above 99% of the crap out there. Also -- the actor who plays the devil deserves to be on a show. Dont know where he graduated, but his acting couch/proffessor did his job right! This is the 2nd video of yours that I see and Im already hooked. Great stuff!
Goddamn if you guys aren't masters of this platform. This video is informative, its a commercial for an upcoming merch line AND has a skillshare ad in it...but the whole thing was of the utmost quality and I loved every second of it. Can't wait for part 2.
i am angry at Jake Paul for making God Church merch. its so fake and it makes people (like the people in the replies for this comment) think that Christians are Jake Paul fanboy fuckfaces. we are not. Jake Paul is a twat
I wish I could edit like you, really, because it's astonishing. But it's not just that, I mean, many people point that out and they're totally right and the research as well is very deep, but also your personality and the diverse characters you guys act as make a lot of the difference. In general your content is very elaborate in so many ways and it really shows in the end product.
The huge gap between Jake and Logan's merch is interesting, Logan's is much, much more obviously high quality due rather directly to his ridiculous wealth - Jake has similar wealth, but uses volume of sales rather than quality. Case in point, I would buy Logan's shit as somebody who hates the man, but I would not touch Jake's with a ten foot pole.
@@magicrainbowkitties1023 NGL, even with that forest incident... Jake Paul STILL seems like the bigger asshole dipshit. Btw, RossBoomSocks shouldve been on the list of best merch. I guess because his fanbase does not correline with Nerd City's at all though.
14:10 Yeah, I am surprised to say that I would totally get that jacket if I came upon it in a store and didn't know about Logan Paul. I knew Jake Paul's merch was terrible, I know both Paul brothers are terrible, so I just assumed Logan Paul had the same kind of merch as Jake (just slightly different pictures on the same crap clothing, etc.). Honestly, I think a big help to Logan Paul's merch is the fact he can base it all around a pretty parrot with pretty colors. I like the color scheme and the parrot outline is very basic and just looks like a bird - nothing to do with Logan Paul. Meanwhile, Jake Paul has to come up with designs and ideas himself. That still doesn't address the fabric differences but IDK. Maybe the fact that Logan Paul's merch can actually look nice by utilizing the colors of his bird, with the nice outline of a bird, inspires him to actually spend the money to put those designs onto clothes that are actually comfortable to wear as well.
The year is 2036.After 17 years Need City releases part 2 describing the process of building a fashion empire and collaboration with top fashion icons of 21st century. In part 3 he will be covering rivalry Zara and becoming #1 in Forbes magazine
If you like unique editing, I can recommend a UA-camr called brutalmoose. His editing and strange sense of humour make his videos, even if the topics may not sound that interesting themselves.
Have you seen the Jake Paul video? It´s equally as good if not better, it´s roughly 40 min long and I too saw it a couple of times when it first came out.
you genuinly make some of the best researched videos on the webside and manage to make them entertaining too. really like the idea for this series too. gonna be here for the next part :)
I'll probably get lost in all the comments, but it never ceases to amaze me, how much work you put in these videos. The costumes, editing, script, research, overall production quality... This channel is truly one of a kind. The quantity over quality thing, when it comes to YT recommendations is so sad. You make fantastic content, but still get dampened by the almighty algorithm (same as Captain Disillusion for instance). Damn, this pisses me off and I can't begin to imagine, how frustrating it must be for you as creators. I really wish you all the best and hope, that things will change for better. I'm hyped for what you come up with, and if releasing merch will enable you to dedicate more time to producing these masterpieces, that would be awesome ^^
Yooo Nerd City, I did silkscreen printing for like 5 years and 1000% Gildan is used to inflate price by size/volume. HORRID for bulk orders and their fabric is dogshit. Fruit of the Loom is pricier but better/more fairly priced for bulk graphic orders. IF your printer wont let you look at their print set up, move along.
Atticus - turns out almost everything in my closet that I don’t wear is Gildan. I never drew that connection until I started this and became conscious of the tags
@@nerdcity I forgot Under Armor also makes a blend that is separate from their mainstay fabric--but they usually want a big check for any orders BUT it takes ink very very well and lasts a million years---and that Gildan also has a tendency to discolor like hell when you bake the ink on, so a lot of the time the ink just gets "flashed" on and doesn't last as long as a result. The place I worked for ALWAYS used Gildan for the local schools orders because it's cheaper for the printer to do it that way, and you can usually skim some more cash as a result. The companies and groups that could afford the premium usually got Fruit of the Loom or Under Armor or even Nike or Polo (who also does produce blended fabric shirts for bulk orders, which are very nice).
Thanks for this info. May I ask, How did you guys purchase the shirts back when you were silkscreen-printing? Is there a special site you go to? I'm also super interested in this stuff like need city is currently.
Roman Atwood proudly displays his bulk of 50 Gildan boxes filled with shirts in his vlogs. I don't think he realizes some of the audience knows Gildan is so bad.
@@worldofcyn For large bulk orders you contact the manufacturer by phone, generally. Same goes for the inks and cleaning chemicals. Usually a good place to start is ISS--Imprinted Sportswear Shows. But as an example if you were running a shop and needed some Fruit of the Loom shirts, you'd contact the manufacturer direct to place a large bulk order at a discount. Hope that helps.
I need more youtubers to put in as much effort as Nerd City, because the natural result of that effort is that there is just not enough content to satisfy my appetite.
Nerd City, I just want to say that you are going to be the baseline for a Renaissance of UA-camrs. You will be the source of how the next generation of UA-camrs construct and manage their channels. I'm not sure if you know that, but me and others in your audience are taking notes. And we can't thank you enough for you sharing this advice. Thank you. 😁👏 Not to mention the quality of work. How do you simultaneously set the bar and show us how to cross it? It's astounding!!!
@Yung Peel He's really simialar to Captain Disillusion. He puts in a ton of effort, the majority of the audience acknowledges the effort, but somehow he doesn't grow as much as he should.
@@youaskthedevil I can't imagine who could do that. 😰😌 Hold out though. If the similarities continue, you'll get the recognition out of the blue. And it'll be all the sweeter when it happens.
NO WAY!!! Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I smell like 100 dead orangutans? Considering that I am the unprettiest UA-camr ever, smelling like 100 dead orangutans is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear pewidepie
One of the smartest and best-produced channels on YT. Nerd City is at the same level as that of a Content Cop. When it hits your feed, I drop whatever, WHATEVER I am doing and give it all my attention. Later that day, I watch it a few more times to find the things that I have missed. Nerd City, you are appreciated and a breath of fresh air in an increasingly blah platform. Thank you.
This is my favourite channel, in terms of getting real information about other youtubers. You all put in so much effort to make others aware of scams and the way online creators work and get money. I’m excited to know more about merch companies and youtubers merch. I watch a select few youtubers (Sean, Mark, and Felix being a few) and I know that they put a lot of effort in what they do, so I’m curious about others and how they do things. So thanks, I guess, for being so honest and awesome with your content.
This is the greatest channel on UA-cam. Amazing editing, original ideas, amazing explenations, amazing visuals (love the neon lights), real world testing, cool people, dignity.
Holy fucking shit. When the devil came on I was just fucking bracing for the cringe of this guys acting ability, but it was fantastic! He's charismatic as shit and could probably sell me a dead body, exactly as the devil should be portrayed. This caught me by surprise for sure.
I relate so hard to that! Seriously, he is so good, and he could sooo easily ruin these videos! Yet, he's managed to improve every Nerd City video he's been in.
The line you delivered with the Jake Paul mask on is by far the best example of cinematography i've ever seen in this type of vlog-like format. I'm in awe.
To everyone that's still waiting, yes, Nerd City is probably going to upload part 2 eventually. A lot of the commenters here have decided that since they've had to exercise patience, that means they're NEVER going to upload another video, but there were huge gaps in between the first tryhards episodes too, to the point where one of my favourite big youtubers even made some sarcastic comment about needing to see it NOW!
@Testicular Space Ship Is it such a terrible mindset to consider? I was clenching my butthole for merchants everywhere because he's basically empowering consumer discernment; he's encouraging the kids to buy mindfully and think about bts processes, that seems practical for mindful and responsible (though he hasn't really covered ethical) purchasing... what do you think about that? Also, education is meant to EDUCATE regardless of form.. Education transforms the thinking process to apply knowledge more intelligently as opposed to 'informing' which can persuade or educate Btw, tell the people who don't have access to proper education your view on it, see how that holds up
This channel has got to be one of my favorite channels, if not my favorite. I’m not one to buy UA-cam merch but I’m hyped to get something from NerdCity. So much respect for your work.
@@nerdcity If you don't start uploading more often I won't unsubscribe to you because your videos are awesome but I swear I will stop smashing the like button. This is my final warning to you.
I feel like any amount a research that gets done for any UA-cam video gets completely destroyed by nerd city every single time. Always quality videos dad.
Everything from the production, to characters like the The Devil, to the educational aspect of what is being presented, everything about this channel is so good. Know that it is worth it. Keep it up.
It's sad that this is one of the only channels left that is actually worth a damn. The research, time, and effort that goes into each and every one of these videos is unmatched. You can tell they put pride into their work, and I hope they are proud of what they create. Hell, I'm proud for them.
Alex Johnson Probably that Warren Buffett has quality knowledge that can save a lot of $ to a lot of ppl and is actually willing to share some of it to whoever will listen to it.
Nerd City I would’ve made BIG bucks on Leon Lush. Unfortunately, still waiting for ChrisRayGun and Nerd City to be fully honored for their top tier content. Thankfully you are on an upward trajectory, for sure have more love coming your way! Also... RedLetterMedia has been around for YEARS, making what I think is some of the most consistently funny and entertaining content available, and they’re finally close to hitting 1M. Sorry... I just hate when actually fantastic and original content doesn’t get as much attention/traction as it deserves.
I got my mom some Logan Paul merch (she really likes the bird design) & it was honestly one of the nicest sweatshirts I've ever touched. The inside (which uses warmer & fuzzier fabric that the kind in the outside) still feels brand new after being washed. You can tell he actually cared about the quality of the actual fabrics used unlike his brother.
OMG this is surreal. I signed up for skillshare because of nerdcity, learned how to edit, made a YT channel and then watched Matt Bellasai's classes on Twitter and now I'm watching him on Nerdcity. That's a full circle!
@@gottesurteil3201 Jake is the one I always see popping up when people talk about any Paul and his hate seems fair when you watch videos that relay all of the stuff he does together, like Nerd City did
A good formula for merch (to me) is: -Doesn't scream UA-cam channel's name -Is wearable -Isn't embarassing when people won't get the reference -Needs a good design -Is well-fit
Someone mentioned your channel on a reddit thread and I’m so happy I followed their advice to check you out! Love the vids, man. The production quality is excellent. You & your girl seem like cool peeps. Keep up the good work!
We are so starved for content from Ian/Nerd City.... but what we do get is so sumptuous. Some of the very finest content on YT. Absolutely LOVE your work

Or maybe he gets more than enough from his job and YT's just a passion project

The reason Jake uses clip art is because any reasonable artist wouldn't wanna make him art even for a high fee.
100% not true
kidneystonesoup just wanna point out how god obvious it is that this is a joke.
But then jake would just pull the “too slow” tactic once they asked to get that high five back.
Jake is 100% the type to not pay for art once it's done.
Jake tried to get an 'intern' to produce work for him full time. He's a rich cheapskate
As an Artist it's really nice to hear about you promoting artist commissions. For some reason people hate the idea of paying for art, thinking it should be free... Because y'know... "It's easy"
Artists are the most under appreciated part of the UA-cam community. They really up the production quality on a lot of our channels and make us look good. I want to return some of those favors in the next episode

To be fair most of the people who think Art should be free are very likely to also think their own art should not be free, because... well they're cunts is what I'm saying.
@@nerdcity they are the most underappreciated in society, period.
@@ignacionadeo3521 yep :/
Nerd City has quickly become a breath of fresh air in terms of originality on UA-cam. Lookin forward to the next one
Nerd City is the true Creator Insider
Yeah I wish he was inside me lol
important comment
I just ruined the balance of 420
The Teddy Fresh brand is a major win imo. I have friends who buy the stuff religiously but have no idea who H3 is but just think it's just a sick brand. That's how you merch
Maybe its because its not merch? Teddy fresh was created by heila klein (dont know if its correct spelling) when she got back from war in her home country. Before h3h3 was big.
@@minuscaseus its like tsuki market by pewds and marzia or cloakbrand by mark and sean i think? They are stand alone clothing companies wich is only related to them because of the owner.
spaghetti gum Hila was never in a war, and they built the brand during the height of h3h3 popularity. Other than that, you're spot on
@@sammerriman5444 but thry said somrthing about a war in a podcast episode
@@spaghettigum maybe you're thinking of the fact that Hila trained in the Israeli army when she was younger? There's definitely violence in the region, but she was never deployed or saw any combat as far as I know.
Every time I watch your videos I'm surprised you're still under 1 million subs. You're in a league of your own mate.
Thank you, Cynth! Looking forward to your video on “Who Makes The Worst Aladdin Pajamas” :) 🧞♂️
@@nerdcity Ahh it's so cool to have you reply to me! I can go to sleep happy now. It's almost bedtime in Europe. I've outgrown my Aladdin PJs though :(
I think it's because they focus on making amazing quality content rather than churning out exactly ten minutes of video filled with 60% garbage and 40% sponsor spots
@@nerdcity I wonder where can I find more about your channel and who you people are? Your production quality is levels above 99% of the crap out there. Also -- the actor who plays the devil deserves to be on a show. Dont know where he graduated, but his acting couch/proffessor did his job right! This is the 2nd video of yours that I see and Im already hooked. Great stuff!
he gets punished by the algorithm by making quality content which takes time, and thus he cant upload every day.
Goddamn if you guys aren't masters of this platform. This video is informative, its a commercial for an upcoming merch line AND has a skillshare ad in it...but the whole thing was of the utmost quality and I loved every second of it. Can't wait for part 2.
Bro, change the category of this video from Comedy to Educational already!

Jake Paul has the most Christian merch. No mixed fabrics.
Hey, Nick Robinson fan.
@@NexusXP hello fellow Nick Robinson fan
I once Saw a kid with a "GOD CHURCH" shirt , i only thought "i have pity of your parents"
Miffty Now I can imagine a very religious family using his merch as daily clothing just because it was the only thing they found like that xD
i am angry at Jake Paul for making God Church merch. its so fake and it makes people (like the people in the replies for this comment) think that Christians are Jake Paul fanboy fuckfaces. we are not. Jake Paul is a twat
I wish I could edit like you, really, because it's astonishing. But it's not just that, I mean, many people point that out and they're totally right and the research as well is very deep, but also your personality and the diverse characters you guys act as make a lot of the difference. In general your content is very elaborate in so many ways and it really shows in the end product.
Plus, his girlfriend his hot.
Kid_Amnesiac *he is hot
literally just tried to put the same things in words. I can't imagine how one would do videos like this any better.
@@JaJaHerSelF on UA-cam he's probably one of my favourites, especially if sorted by editing quality, along with Ahoy and others.
I bet you can learn all about editing from Skillshare ;)
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the editing/production Nerd City does?
MK always.
Make dat. Merch. Make dat. Merch.
Merch That make. Merch Make dat
Dat make. Merch. Dat make. Merch.
gonna be stuck in my head now, tnx
The huge gap between Jake and Logan's merch is interesting, Logan's is much, much more obviously high quality due rather directly to his ridiculous wealth - Jake has similar wealth, but uses volume of sales rather than quality.
Case in point, I would buy Logan's shit as somebody who hates the man, but I would not touch Jake's with a ten foot pole.
I feel that jakes designs are just really bad not to mention stolen
@Death Omen Then again Logan is also the only one of the two to have filmed a video with a dead body
@Death Omen "and i oop"
okay it's time for extermination
@@magicrainbowkitties1023 NGL, even with that forest incident... Jake Paul STILL seems like the bigger asshole dipshit.
Btw, RossBoomSocks shouldve been on the list of best merch. I guess because his fanbase does not correline with Nerd City's at all though.
14:10 Yeah, I am surprised to say that I would totally get that jacket if I came upon it in a store and didn't know about Logan Paul.
I knew Jake Paul's merch was terrible, I know both Paul brothers are terrible, so I just assumed Logan Paul had the same kind of merch as Jake (just slightly different pictures on the same crap clothing, etc.).
Honestly, I think a big help to Logan Paul's merch is the fact he can base it all around a pretty parrot with pretty colors. I like the color scheme and the parrot outline is very basic and just looks like a bird - nothing to do with Logan Paul.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul has to come up with designs and ideas himself.
That still doesn't address the fabric differences but IDK. Maybe the fact that Logan Paul's merch can actually look nice by utilizing the colors of his bird, with the nice outline of a bird, inspires him to actually spend the money to put those designs onto clothes that are actually comfortable to wear as well.
Low key so excited for this series, never ceases to deliver amazing content

Your edits are so unique and insanely good! I love it.
If you like unique editing, I can recommend a UA-camr called brutalmoose. His editing and strange sense of humour make his videos, even if the topics may not sound that interesting themselves.
Had to watch this 2 times, gotta say most informative and entertaining video ever man, can't wait to see more.
This is the best infomercial I’ve ever seen.
Have you seen the Jake Paul video? It´s equally as good if not better, it´s roughly 40 min long and I too saw it a couple of times when it first came out.
It's a great resource for the up-and-coming UA-camrs or just people genuinely interested in this kind of stuff.
you genuinly make some of the best researched videos on the webside and manage to make them entertaining too.
really like the idea for this series too. gonna be here for the next part :)
I buy pyrocinical merch because it's not ethically made it's EPICALLY made
E P I C gamer alert
@@bigman489 some say that he makes each by hand and marinates them with french girl blood
Beep Beep Kirby's Bizarre Adventure 15 year old French girl blood specifically.
So guys we did it..... We reached a quarter of a million subscribers.....
Ive never watched Pyro before but the satire in this comment thread is making me thing I should check him out
I'll probably get lost in all the comments, but it never ceases to amaze me, how much work you put in these videos. The costumes, editing, script, research, overall production quality... This channel is truly one of a kind. The quantity over quality thing, when it comes to YT recommendations is so sad. You make fantastic content, but still get dampened by the almighty algorithm (same as Captain Disillusion for instance). Damn, this pisses me off and I can't begin to imagine, how frustrating it must be for you as creators. I really wish you all the best and hope, that things will change for better. I'm hyped for what you come up with, and if releasing merch will enable you to dedicate more time to producing these masterpieces, that would be awesome ^^
Contrapoints has the same kind of insane video and audio and editing production.
@@ijskolibrietje There's also Olly from Philosophy Tube, especially with his new video, check it out if you haven't already
Yooo Nerd City, I did silkscreen printing for like 5 years and 1000% Gildan is used to inflate price by size/volume. HORRID for bulk orders and their fabric is dogshit. Fruit of the Loom is pricier but better/more fairly priced for bulk graphic orders. IF your printer wont let you look at their print set up, move along.
Atticus - turns out almost everything in my closet that I don’t wear is Gildan. I never drew that connection until I started this and became conscious of the tags
@@nerdcity I forgot Under Armor also makes a blend that is separate from their mainstay fabric--but they usually want a big check for any orders BUT it takes ink very very well and lasts a million years---and that Gildan also has a tendency to discolor like hell when you bake the ink on, so a lot of the time the ink just gets "flashed" on and doesn't last as long as a result.
The place I worked for ALWAYS used Gildan for the local schools orders because it's cheaper for the printer to do it that way, and you can usually skim some more cash as a result. The companies and groups that could afford the premium usually got Fruit of the Loom or Under Armor or even Nike or Polo (who also does produce blended fabric shirts for bulk orders, which are very nice).
Thanks for this info. May I ask, How did you guys purchase the shirts back when you were silkscreen-printing? Is there a special site you go to? I'm also super interested in this stuff like need city is currently.
Roman Atwood proudly displays his bulk of 50 Gildan boxes filled with shirts in his vlogs. I don't think he realizes some of the audience knows Gildan is so bad.
@@worldofcyn For large bulk orders you contact the manufacturer by phone, generally. Same goes for the inks and cleaning chemicals. Usually a good place to start is ISS--Imprinted Sportswear Shows. But as an example if you were running a shop and needed some Fruit of the Loom shirts, you'd contact the manufacturer direct to place a large bulk order at a discount.
Hope that helps.
Hi this quality is too high and I like it too much can you bring it down a notch so everyone else feels better about their content thanks
he only uploads once a month, but its soooooo good! i love them!!
and they should get wayhhyhhyh more followers
Oh hi Famous Actor James Allen McCune, didn't expect you to be here!

Holdfast, young one. I have been here before. Patience is necessary to get through.
@@adeleconte812 They got some merch money and are able to ride on their patreon donors, no reason to make content lmao
I still can't understand why don't you already have 1 mil subs
Sad to say, but not enough uploads from this guy. Almost Jontron-esque
agreed. these guys upload quality is tippy top. always looking forward to what they come up to next.
2 uploads / year I guess
I need more youtubers to put in as much effort as Nerd City, because the natural result of that effort is that there is just not enough content to satisfy my appetite.
Nerd City, I just want to say that you are going to be the baseline for a Renaissance of UA-camrs. You will be the source of how the next generation of UA-camrs construct and manage their channels. I'm not sure if you know that, but me and others in your audience are taking notes. And we can't thank you enough for you sharing this advice. Thank you. 😁👏 Not to mention the quality of work. How do you simultaneously set the bar and show us how to cross it? It's astounding!!!
@Yung Peel He's really simialar to Captain Disillusion. He puts in a ton of effort, the majority of the audience acknowledges the effort, but somehow he doesn't grow as much as he should.
TemporaryChannelName
It’s almost as if SOMEONE is working against us....🤔
@@youaskthedevil I can't imagine who could do that. 😰😌 Hold out though. If the similarities continue, you'll get the recognition out of the blue. And it'll be all the sweeter when it happens.
Yes! I've been waiting to check out best options for merch, as well! Looking forward to the series ;)
Great video as always, btw.
PewDiePie designs his own merch which is really cool
hey ... thats preety good information
NO WAY!!! Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I smell like 100 dead orangutans? Considering that I am the unprettiest UA-camr ever, smelling like 100 dead orangutans is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear pewidepie

Nice! Glad to hear there was something useful
Hi
Did not expect you at all, to be here
One of the smartest and best-produced channels on YT. Nerd City is at the same level as that of a Content Cop. When it hits your feed, I drop whatever, WHATEVER I am doing and give it all my attention. Later that day, I watch it a few more times to find the things that I have missed. Nerd City, you are appreciated and a breath of fresh air in an increasingly blah platform. Thank you.
Thank you, Michelangelo!
I really want a “no big bummis no sponsored hummus” shirt
Create it yourself
It is a godddamn national holiday when you upload
*international*
This is my favourite channel, in terms of getting real information about other youtubers. You all put in so much effort to make others aware of scams and the way online creators work and get money. I’m excited to know more about merch companies and youtubers merch.
I watch a select few youtubers (Sean, Mark, and Felix being a few) and I know that they put a lot of effort in what they do, so I’m curious about others and how they do things.
So thanks, I guess, for being so honest and awesome with your content.
This is the greatest channel on UA-cam. Amazing editing, original ideas, amazing explenations, amazing visuals (love the neon lights), real world testing, cool people, dignity.
Agreed, I cannot figure out how this channel doesn't have a million subs. It'll happen, until then I'm happy to fly under the radar with NC.
This content is so unbelievably underrated and binging your vids is just a joy. Waiting on that new upload!
Holy fucking shit. When the devil came on I was just fucking bracing for the cringe of this guys acting ability, but it was fantastic! He's charismatic as shit and could probably sell me a dead body, exactly as the devil should be portrayed. This caught me by surprise for sure.
Who’s “acting?”👿
I relate so hard to that!
Seriously, he is so good, and he could sooo easily ruin these videos!
Yet, he's managed to improve every Nerd City video he's been in.
Whoever’s playing Satan is definitely having a fun time being evil as sin. Literally.
As a commissionable artist who sells POD products-- I'm VIBRATING with excitement over this series.
Would you say you're.... quaking?
The line you delivered with the Jake Paul mask on is by far the best example of cinematography i've ever seen in this type of vlog-like format. I'm in awe.
:) I like this comment.
That scene creeped me out but in a good way :-)
Been 4 months now, the part 2 is going to be epic. No pressure though, take your time. Love your channel dude!
*Damn,* Ask The Devil is too charismatic. I'm not going to have any objection to eternal damnation if he's going to be there.
I'd be creeping him out though, because the only thing I'm gonna say to him is "spank me daddy".

To everyone that's still waiting, yes, Nerd City is probably going to upload part 2 eventually. A lot of the commenters here have decided that since they've had to exercise patience, that means they're NEVER going to upload another video, but there were huge gaps in between the first tryhards episodes too, to the point where one of my favourite big youtubers even made some sarcastic comment about needing to see it NOW!
Shiloh Lily - let’s be friends.
is it weird that i watch the video over and over again because i can’t wait for part 2?
big-mistake no it's not

@Testicular Space Ship What?
@Testicular Space Ship Is it such a terrible mindset to consider? I was clenching my butthole for merchants everywhere because he's basically empowering consumer discernment; he's encouraging the kids to buy mindfully and think about bts processes, that seems practical for mindful and responsible (though he hasn't really covered ethical) purchasing... what do you think about that?
Also, education is meant to EDUCATE regardless of form.. Education transforms the thinking process to apply knowledge more intelligently as opposed to 'informing' which can persuade or educate
Btw, tell the people who don't have access to proper education your view on it, see how that holds up
@Testicular Space Ship
I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish here, bud.
Testicular Space Ship lmao it’s a flat earther. Just ignore the idiot and move on

It's sad that this is one of the only channels left that is actually worth a damn. The research, time, and effort that goes into each and every one of these videos is unmatched. You can tell they put pride into their work, and I hope they are proud of what they create. Hell, I'm proud for them.
Thank you, YourNeighborCarl. That’s a really nice comment
YourNeighborCarl be proud of them. Don’t be sad.
NERD CITY is the Warren Buffet of UA-cam and Twitch knowledge.
Wtf u here for bruh
In some ways I wish I could invest in UA-cam channels like stock. I think I see a few underpriced winners :)
what do you mean by that?
Alex Johnson Probably that Warren Buffett has quality knowledge that can save a lot of $ to a lot of ppl and is actually willing to share some of it to whoever will listen to it.
Nerd City I would’ve made BIG bucks on Leon Lush.
Unfortunately, still waiting for ChrisRayGun and Nerd City to be fully honored for their top tier content. Thankfully you are on an upward trajectory, for sure have more love coming your way!
Also... RedLetterMedia has been around for YEARS, making what I think is some of the most consistently funny and entertaining content available, and they’re finally close to hitting 1M.
Sorry... I just hate when actually fantastic and original content doesn’t get as much attention/traction as it deserves.
came to make fun of jake paul, left with important business information
One of my favorite things about Nerd City uploads is playing "Lets see if my entire sub list is in the comments section" again
I got my mom some Logan Paul merch (she really likes the bird design) & it was honestly one of the nicest sweatshirts I've ever touched. The inside (which uses warmer & fuzzier fabric that the kind in the outside) still feels brand new after being washed. You can tell he actually cared about the quality of the actual fabrics used unlike his brother.

ICARUSLIV3S so how long till doom mod merchandise.
A good formula for merch (to me) is:
-Doesn't scream UA-cam channel's name
-Is wearable
-Isn't embarassing when people won't get the reference
-Needs a good design
-Is well-fit
