Update: The end is in sight. If you are interested in picking one of these shirts up, you will want to do so before the campaign ends on June 1. {.update)
Every few months we like to do something for the community to help show their support for Microsoft and our site. While ad blockers are making headlines we are always looking for ways to help keep our site going – and make it better.
That is where you come in, but don't worry you get something cool out of it too!
For the next two weeks, you can order yourself up a limited Ninja Cat Emoji T-Shirt. Not familiar with the Ninja Cat? Here is a primer:
"Part of the ongoing Windows Insider meme, the now infamous ninja cat has made a stealthy move into the Windows 10 "Anniversary" update, emoji style! One cannot simply insert one of these ten emojis. In true ninja style, you must use a combination of emojis, creating what the cool kids call a zero width joiner sequence. Simply put, it's where two traditional emoji are used in tandem to create a super emoji. Yet another way to invoke ninja cat emoji awesome-sauce is to order the Ninja Cat Emoji t-shirt. The eight-color emoji is emblazoned on the front of the t-shirt. On the back, you'll find the Windows Central logo."
If you still find all of that weird you can read my article History of the Microsoft 'Ninja Cat on a Unicorn' (and how to get your own) on where it all started for some more context.
Your Options
For this edition of the Windows Central tee you can pick up to four different styles and even a sticker (win!). The styles include:
- Teespring Premium Tee - $20
- Gildan 8oz Heavy Blend Hoodie - $38
- Teespring Women's Premium Tee - 22.00
- American Apparel Triblend – 26.99
For those asking, the Triblend option is a higher quality/longer lasting shirt as its makeup is 50% Polyester / 25% Cotton / 25% Rayon versus the 100% combed ringspun cotton of Teespring's versions.
Color variants include Deep Royal, Black, Light Heather Gray, Classic Red, and Heathered Charcoal.
After Teespring takes their cut the remaining funds go to help to pay for our free (and ad-free) app for Windows 10 and Mobile as well as paying staff, travel costs and equipment for the site.
Teespring ships worldwide ($3.99) and they have a very generous return policy should you be unhappy with the order.
Once these shirts stop selling on June 1st that will be it! So mark your calendars and thanks again for your support!
