Which shirt did you purchase? Did the streaks wash out?
If it's a problem with the shirt, what you'd describe would be the dye running - and I've NEVER heard of that happening with any of the shirts we've sold. If, on the other hand, it's a mark made on the shirt itself - you can't really blame us for selling a shirt that's susceptible to stains. That's like getting upset if you buy a shoe, play ball in it, and manage to scuff it during the game. It's a cotton t-shirt. If you light it on fire, you can't blame the shirt for burning. If you get something on it, you can't blame the shirt for that. If it's a problem with the dye streaking I'd be very disappointed and I'm sure we can find a way to set things right. If anyone else encounters anything similar, please let us know. If need be, we'll change suppliers for future offerings - but to this point we've never had a problem with our base tees.
We use Alstyle AAA tees for our blanks. They're known for their premium quality and have become popular as a base for high end streetwear brands. We've sold hundreds of NT-shirts using Alstyle blanks, going back to the Alpha tee in 2007, and I haven't heard one person encounter the problem you've described.
Some folks recognize:

We don't cut corners on this stuff. We used premium base tees and paid extra for organic cotton where available (Alstyle doesn't currently offer organic cotton in every color - but the white and black tees are certified organic.)
We wanted to create something to represent our community. Unlike a certain brand out there whose legacy has been severely tarnished of late, we care about the quality of our products and want only the best to be associated with NikeTalk. Ask the guys who worked with us on this: profit margins haven't impacted our thinking. If an extra ink hit could improve a design, we went for it despite the cost. If we could step up to an even higher end Alstyle blank, we did it - and kept the end price the same or lower than for our previous tees. This is not a huge fund-raiser for us. It's something we do primarily to celebrate the community. It takes an enormous effort from a number of talented, dedicated people to make something like this happen.
I'm tremendously appreciative of Rajah and Steez's efforts with this latest set of shirts - our most ambitious and diverse product offering to date. I can't wait to receive my order and I hope everyone out there enjoys theirs.
