I would love the opportunity to buy some official CoX merchandise myself. A great idea.

A great and old idea. Unfortunately, a lot of work goes into things like this. Currently, merchandise is very very limited (though there are more items than ever, now) and only available at cons.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I think you will all agree, what is currently on offer, is a bag of cack! This is on-line stuff, not sure how it differs if at all form the stuff available at Cons!
Personally, I always liked Mother's Love's contributions. Such a shame that NCSoft never let him go ahead and produce them.

At HeroCon 2009, we had posters, pint glasses (with the hero and villain logos), pins, t-shirts (hero, villain, and 5th anniversary t-shirts), art collection books, and a couple other things.
Personally, I would love to see Paragon Studios go whole hog with a CafePress site if they can't get NCsoft to help out. Stuff for all the archetypes ("Good, bad, I'm the guy with the War Mace"), t-shirts for the task forces ("I survived the Quaterfield Hell Force"), the various factions ("Property of Crey Research Department"), and all that good stuff.

I Agree, I think with Going Rogue coming out, now would be a great time to release merchandise for gamers to purchase. CafePress would be a simple way to set everything up.

I've had a bad experience or two with CafePress quality. Maybe it's just "Random is random", though.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Having done something like this in the past (swag generation, though I've looked into rocket packs a time or two), I can understand why Paragon might be somewhat...reticent to do it.
Going with a simple CP site might be fairly hassle-free, but you can open yourself up to quality issues that way. Quite easily. You're also limiting yourself as to what can actually be produced.
Being more adventurous and quality oriented gets some poor bastich stuck with the job of quartermaster and inventory handler. A thankless, brain-meltingly mind-numbing condemnation to ultimate horror if ever there was one.
Additionally, there's the fact that the up-front costs for DIY are not insignificant.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Given how badly NCSofts Marketing and Legal teams have come down on certain EU Members offering designs and samples of merchandise previously (Cease and Decease letter heavy, even though the end recipient of any profit was the Draw the World charity) I doubt we'll ever see anything like this.|

I still have samples of them somewhere in fact. The Mastermind bibs are excellent.
