“Why do you have a shirt that says *Jaykit Jaypaw Jayfeather* ?” “See, I read these books about cats that change their names as they get older as a sign of growth and these are the names.” “..” “bye..”
Exactly. I would never wear fan merch (for any fandom) that's THAT vague. It's already enough of a pain/embarrassing to have to explain something when the merch is good and has the benefit of being somewhat explanatory... At least if Jayfeather was on it, it gives the viewer a hint of who "Jaykit/Jaypaw/Jayfeather" is and what the franchise is about
If they commisioned artists for their merch, I'd be 3 times more likely to buy from their shop. I I think the mini designs are ok for little figures, but for tee shirts I want something more.
That can get sketchy really fast if they don't compensate the artists somehow. A cute idea in theory, but not in practice if the artists are forced to give up the rights to their work and watch others make a profit on it while they don't get a penny.
They don't just need different artists, they also need different graphic designers. Graphic design is how someone designs an image or any visual to be affective but also good looking. They are the ones who do most of the design for T-shirts. Good ones are also very knowledgeable with fonts.
I swear, Akira should work for the Warrior Cats team. She knows what a good design looks like and knows what the fandom wants, on the other hand; she’d add jayburgers as prey and make it agenst the warrior code to eat breezeburgers
For the 4 cats on the shirt, they could have done the current leaders from the original 4 clans, and made them look more unique. Maybe make Bramblestar's eyes look more like Ashfur's to show possession.
either the four, the leaders of the original four clans from each arc, or logical things like twigbranch, violetshine, alderheart, and needletail, and stuff like the 4 apprentices after ravenpaw was gone
Little mention: in Poland when they translate and publish Warriors they also hire a professional artist(s) who make awesome covers for the books, and it's not that much of a problem for the publisher since fans usually adore the cover designs (maybe some criticise some parts they don't like) and I think once when fans didn't like the cover they made a completely new one (not sure about that one) Like, come on, I'm pretty sure many of people out there (even those who don't consider themselves creative) could do better designs than Warriors official merch! Like, for the Tigerclaw quote, his shining dangerous eyes above the quote on a black shirt would do good (at least I think so)
Sooner or later they might start selling Sandstorm "Firepaw, you birdbrain!" shirt seriously mark my words And guess what shipping outside America costs 30 dollars so it's 60 dollars for a cat name printed shirt what the heccc
Nah just put some names that don't mean anything to people who haven't read the books so people will just be confused why you have a shirt with names /j
They’d have to pay the artist for them most likely, and they probably want to spend the least amount of money possibly. Someone on Etsy could’ve slapped some names on a shirt better then they did and sold it for less!
Here are a couple of quotes to replace the ones on the last tshirt- “Destiny isn’t a path that any cat follows blindly, it is always a matter of choice, and sometimes the heart speaks the loudest” Leafpool in sign of the moon “The only true borders lie between day and night, between life and death, between hope and loss” - Don’t know where this one came from Oh yeah, and probably my favorite quote from the first arc, when Lionheart says “you can’t live with a paw in each world” but I’m not sure how well that would play out on a t-shirt.
The fact is they literally could've just put their Warriors logo on it with a really awesome picture of one of the characters below it and it would've been fine.
I personally think it would be really cool if l could buy a bigger version of the maps, and hang them up on my wall. I love drawing fantasy maps and I really think that the art style for the warriors maps look beautiful
So do I, which is a problem because I also read book series that make Warriors look like a collection of nursery rhymes, and I have become completely desensitized.
and the thing is, they KNOW they have an overwhelming amount of highly talented people in their fanbase that would be more than happy to do some freelance work for them. but nope :')
I think the name shirts would be absolutely be AWESOME if they A: Did a slightly more fun font and B: added the cats face. The 4 cat shirts could have been really really good if they grouped them better. So making it only 2 cats and grouping them better. E.G Greystripe and Firestar, Leafstar and Billystorm or even Hawkwing, Hollyleaf with Jayfeather and Lionblaze (I know its 3 but cmon its the iconic 3!), Ivypool and Dovewing HECK THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS! I have nothing to say about the tote bags and mugs. Seriously just straight up copying the shirts? Get creative! I agree with the commissioning thing 100% Also making the designs less realistic. Every cat being a tabby and realistic is BORING! This is a series about cats with doctors, a religion (multiple if u count the tribe and the sisters), structured societies BUT OH NO WE CANT MAKE THE DESIGNS CREATIVE AND UNIQUE!!!*!(!£!!!! Honestly the merch should be cheaper and better
you know, the day I actually spend money on these shirts, you know its the end of the world. I pray they make no money from this actual trash. I pray they don't for real.
What's so frustrating is Warrior Cats merchandise could sell really, really well if only they had a good product team. The fandom is willing, and even requests, to buy merchandise. They have a huge amount of buyers wanting to spend money, but the Coolabi company only does the bare minimum. That's just sad when this fandom deserves so much better.
5:37 I completely agree. Just earlier today, I was discussing with my mom of how I like to use emotions in my art. When I'm drawing my OCs, I always think of what emotion that OC is going to show in the drawing first. Then, I think of the body figure that best fits that emotion. Then I continue from there.
I've NEVER been this early! I wanted to get some Clan merch because I'm Skyclan/Shadowclan, but they're sooo expensive! Also, 3:25, just- It's funny because it says, "Out here it's wild, and it's free." And the shirt is $33! ;W;
Literally how hard could it have been for them to commission one of the PLETHORA of amazing artists in the community? I dont know, Finchwing, Tennelle, Moonkitti, Akira, Sagutoyas, and that's only a few that come to mind right now. There are so many talented people in the fandom that i bet would LOVE to have their art portrayed in official merch. I really doubt the franchise is lacking 20 bucks to buy a few commissions.
They're getting lazier and lazier... It's sad to see the erins getting more and more lazy with their marketing Warrior cats just sometimes doesn't feel like warrior cats anymore. The new mainseries books are great but look at lots of what we got recently. Look at the character arcs and the horrible portrayal of cats like squirrelflight or breezepelt. It almost feels like using cats like tigerstar, graystripe, and firestar for merch is just nostalgia baiting.
I want a Brightheart shirt saying stay strong. Oh and a Mapleshade mini ideally with tiny ghosts of Petalkit, Pacthkit, and Larchkit on her head or back or maybe even her tail.
Honestly they couldve gone with "___clan pride" merch too?? Is there any of that anywhere? Or if you're gonna be lazy just use the cover art from the books or something jeez
These designs are all PAINFUL to look at. I do graphic design for a living and I'm cringing so hard. The Warriors fandom has SO MANY creative and talented people in it, it's a real shame they didn't utilize the community more. This merch looks like they had someone with no design experience just throw a bunch of existing assets together and called it a merch design. :/ Super disappointing. Even as an adult, I'd love to see some actually cool or well-designed merch! I can't even picture kids/young fans repping the stuff they have up now.
The Tigerstar quote shirt is not THAT bad. The contrast actually makes it a little funny, especially to people who didn’t watch the series. A cute cat saying a threatening quote!
There is A Warrior cats Coloring Book That Is FILLED With Things From Children’s Coloring Books, Plus Luna From Sailor Moon Is There...I’m Confused With This Coloring Book-
I don't buy merch from warrior cats yeah $8 for shipping is way to much there's no reason for it to be $8 dollars I won't buy merch from warrior cats if their charging that much for one item
Also I saw a shirt with a quote from rise of scourge. And you wanna know what the chose? “I am scourge” with a picture of yep, you guessed it, scourge. Honestly, rise of scourge is such a short book and they didn’t even bother skimming it for better quotes
i would feel like a cringey little kid wearing this bs. it has vibes of those dudes who think knowing about weapons is a personality, when in reality, it hurts to hear them talk
I ordered the figurines the day they came out and they never even made it into my country, they shipped them back to the warehouse and said there's nothing they can do about it... so be careful if you do chose to buy the warriors merch cause they won't help you if shipping goes wrong :/
I'd just like to say on the commission thing. A company planning to monetize a commisdionntheybgot should be paying more than $30-$100 for a commission. Typically, they would give the artist a cut of the sales, or just prepay them a cut. Still, it would be affordable for the warrior cats franchise, but still, artists, if a person is monetizing your commission, ask for a cut in the sales, or charge more!
You realize that without Graystripe we wouldn’t have our prescious Jayfeather and stick Here’s the explanation: in fire and ice Graystripe gets Clawface off of Fireheart before he dies. And who’s responsible for jayfeather’s existence: Leafpool. Who’s responsible for leafpool’s existence: Firestar. So there ya go!
Solution to bad warrior cats merch : Support warrior cats fan artists instead !! Pretty sure you can find some pretty cool and stylish tee shirts on redbubble or etsy, that sure might cost maybe a bit more but it'll look both unique and way more interesting design wise ! We also make stickers, prints, ect... In the long run, if the Warrior cats team sees that their merch doesn't sell, they'll have to understand that they need to step up their game !! They've been deceiving us for too long between the plushies and these tee shirts !
I actually want the quote from cinderpelt. “you cannot change your destiny you only have the strength to know what it is and accept it” (smth like that)
I THOUGHT THE 4TH CAT ON THE SHIRT WAS TIGERSTAR, ugh. They should've gone more realistic with the shirt designs. Warriors isn't a cartoon so I'm not sure why this decision was made.
Hey Akira, they made 3 new keychains of their overused characters Firestar, Jaybae, and Graystripe. But they used their classic MINIS designs. They are on the site. why can't they make some quality merch they need some artists on their team
I like the four cats shirt *idea*, but maybe with minis of all 4 leaders or something. its fine. but the other clothes are yikes. I like the mugs and bags tho
So wild how they put such little effort into these things when the fandom has a non-insignificant amount of teen and adult fans. WE are the ones that are going to be buy this merch. I'm not going to waste over 30$ on some shitty "Firestar" shirt that a 12 year old could recreated in photoshop in 5 minutes, or a cringy "I'll always be your friend!" shirt with character icon generator art... But I WOULD drop money on merch that's actually creative and looks nice! Like imagine tote bags, mugs, notebooks, or even t-shirts of scenes from the books in the same style as the original covers. Or just well-done, official designs of some of the fan favorites (the Three, the more well-known clan leaders, some of the big villains, etc). Stickers! Iron-on patches! Not only will adult fans be more likely to buy it, but parents will probably be more willing to buy their kids merch if it looks like a quality product.
I have a question, at the end of the last hope, brambleclaw becomes bramblestar without getting his nine lives. Please explain. If you do, I will sub to you.
The worst part is I KNOW I would be such a shill for pretty designs. At least they're not stealing fan art for their merch, ugh. I have way too many thoughts on this.
If we had more of quote shirts, I'd like one whit better art and the cat is Bluestar(I'm pretty sure she said this?) : "The strength and fellowship of the clan will always be whit you. Even when you hunt alone" That would be a good one in my opinion-

Pretty sure you can find some pretty cool and stylish tee shirts on redbubble or etsy, that sure might cost maybe a bit more but it'll look both unique and way more interesting design wise ! We also make stickers, prints, ect... In the long run, if the Warrior cats team sees that their merch doesn't sell, they'll have to understand that they need to step up their game !! They've been deceiving us for too long between the plushies and these tee shirts !
The only good thing on the merch store was the Jayfeather mugs
I actually want the quote from cinderpelt.
“you cannot change your destiny you only have the strength to know what it is and accept it”
(smth like that)
Mom: "We have Warriors at home."
Warriors at home:💀
I THOUGHT THE 4TH CAT ON THE SHIRT WAS TIGERSTAR, ugh. They should've gone more realistic with the shirt designs. Warriors isn't a cartoon so I'm not sure why this decision was made.
Hey Akira, they made 3 new keychains of their overused characters Firestar, Jaybae, and Graystripe. But they used their classic MINIS designs. They are on the site.
why can't they make some quality merch
they need some artists on their team
I wish they sold posters that had the new book covers on it, if they made “A forgotten Warrior” poster with the new art, it would look AMAZING.
I imagine mini tigerstar saying that quote with a very cute squeaking voice.
I want a shirt that’s very 2000 web core, I want scourge with glitter boarder, goth aesthetics, and arial text.
Yay, new video :0
I like the four cats shirt *idea*, but maybe with minis of all 4 leaders or something. its fine. but the other clothes are yikes. I like the mugs and bags tho
So wild how they put such little effort into these things when the fandom has a non-insignificant amount of teen and adult fans. WE are the ones that are going to be buy this merch. I'm not going to waste over 30$ on some shitty "Firestar" shirt that a 12 year old could recreated in photoshop in 5 minutes, or a cringy "I'll always be your friend!" shirt with character icon generator art... But I WOULD drop money on merch that's actually creative and looks nice! Like imagine tote bags, mugs, notebooks, or even t-shirts of scenes from the books in the same style as the original covers. Or just well-done, official designs of some of the fan favorites (the Three, the more well-known clan leaders, some of the big villains, etc). Stickers! Iron-on patches! Not only will adult fans be more likely to buy it, but parents will probably be more willing to buy their kids merch if it looks like a quality product.
I have a question, at the end of the last hope, brambleclaw becomes bramblestar without getting his nine lives. Please explain. If you do, I will sub to you.
The worst part is I KNOW I would be such a shill for pretty designs. At least they're not stealing fan art for their merch, ugh.
I have way too many thoughts on this.
If we had more of quote shirts, I'd like one whit better art and the cat is Bluestar(I'm pretty sure she said this?) :
"The strength and fellowship of the clan will always be whit you. Even when you hunt alone"
That would be a good one in my opinion-
I gotta go buy the mugs, thats how I show my appreciation. Also, couldn't they just have the cover artists do the drawings?
