James is wearing an old prototype t-shirt. The ones available on site are different to the one James is wearing.
Also, this whole thread has descended into chaos. I feel like I have entered a teenage boy’s mind.

Guys, the t-shirt is just an option in the online store to purchase if you fancy it. If you don’t, don’t. First time orders come with v2.0 (small logo). However, I believe almost all of you are customers anyway.
A logo across the chest is hardly groundbreaking! There are tons of t-shirt brands that have those options. Once of the most iconic branded t-shirts around, Levis, has their batwing logo emblazoned across the t-shirt, much like the Huel one here.
Just to confirm Dan’s point, James is not wearing v2.1 t-shirt, but a Black Gildan t-shirt we did a short run of for the mix and mingle event goodie bags back in 2017.

I like the larger logo, and I would wear it. I like a high neck too.

I was sooo pleased with everything about v2 black. Sharp contrast, lovely feel, high neck. I had planned to write in to see could I buy some! But. I think the price is pretty steep. Sending out tshirts ensures more free advertising. Selling them at cost or a big discount per six - ensures more wearing/advertising. At this price I can get fab tshirts at the National Gallery’s museum shop…
Agree with the chest problem. Also that v3 is ugly and like packaging.

Agree re price. I never ever pay that much for a tee-shirt.

I also agree re the price. I generally pay £15 for a personalised logo-d organic fair trade cotton one.
The v2.1 T-shirt’s are lovely quality but because it has only the company standard logo, I put it in the same bracket as any other off the shelf shirt with a brand logo, so would pay £10 max.
If it had something more creative as a design then I would pay £15 max, considering it is a decent quality material and nice cut.

It’s worth noting that the price is kinda average for instant the soylent t-shirt is $20. My microsoft one cost £20.
Companies have to make a profit on stock that doesn’t sell particularly quick and therefore the price makes sense, or are you guys just wanted to complain?

We’re not complaining, just saying that personally I wouldn’t buy them at that price. But I’ve already got one anyway as they send you one with your first order.
To be fair, I doubt huel make much (if any) profit at all on the T-shirt’s over all as the majority are given away for free !

That’s probably gonna be a poor quality sweatshop sorta thing. I like t-shirts produced through Teemill…carbon neutral factory (which may or may not be greenwashing), fair paid workers, organic cotton; good ethical values…but gonna cost £20 (or more).
As a death metal loving punk rocker goth I used to buy a lot of band t-shirts at gigs, but of late they have started to become quite expensive, so not bought one in about 5 years. It’s not unusual to see a smallish band charging 25 to 30 quid for a Gildan shirt (same as Huel used to use). Reasons are probably there is less money in recorded music so bands have to get $$$ elsewhere; and the venues also take a big slice.
I’m still waiting for a Huel branded baseball cap and beanie [I wear hats all the time - baseball in warmer months, beanie in colder months.]

@hunzas when I think about it I’ve probably not actually bought an off-the-shelf t-shirt in about 15 yrs so my fiver is probably well out of date 
I do frequently buy club t-shirts however for my local running / cycling / mtb / walking groups.
Their prices are generally £10 for a guildan T-shirt with a design (not just a logo), or £15 for the same print but on a fair trade organic cotton shirt. I always opt for the £15 one.
It feels value for money as they have a unique creative print.
I guess though they make minimal profits on them… probably just enough to cover the admin

Must admit, most of my teeshirts are Gildan. Without logos or designs. Still going strong years later.

@ChristinaT You have made me literally lol several times whilst reading through this thread! Thank you

Absolutely gutted you guys think this t-shirt is on par with your £5 Gildan t-shirts. It’s got an awesome feel with elastane in, no laundry labels so it’s even more comfortable, a really good quality neck line which will last, embroidered side tab and comes delivered in a recycled paper envelope, not a horrible polybag.
@ChristinaT have you got a v2.0 t-shirt? Or because you’re first order of Huel was quite a while ago, you’re still rocking the old, off the shelf printed Gildan? I’m just a bit confused how you can liken the look and feel of the v2.0/v2.1 t-shirt to that of a stock, off the shelf printed Gildan/Fruit of the loom style band t-shirt.

@Tim_Huel I have a secret friend at Huel who sent me a v2 T-shirt with my first order of Berry RTD 
If you look in my order list you’ll see it there… he ordered me a black one, but I got khaki-grey (sad face).
The v2 t-shirts are lovely quality - I think they are great. I would love to see some more creative designs however. Just the logo is a bit boring (this is what I mean by ‘off-the-shelf’ - nothing to do with the quality, but it’s just a logo like a Nike tick (sorry really not comparing your company to Nike… worlds apart, but you know what I mean)).
I LOVE the “Hueligan” hoodie I thought that was a BRILLIANT idea 
I also love @Latestfuels idea of using the ‘Be Less Useless’ slogan.
Or how about

So, yeah, love the quality, material and cut of the v2 t-shirts
But want something a bit more creative !
Then I would pay £20 happily and have a wardrobe full 
Also some other colours would be cool (personally I like blue or purple) but do get that part of Huel’s image is the simple two-tone clean design.
Black is always good but the khaki-green/grey isn’t a great look on a red-head

The more I think about it, the more I think it would be the perfect T-shirt for @hunzas.
Particularly seeing the trend on the last few threads.

Elastane isn’t very environmentally friendly though. I believe it is one of the causes of microfibres getting into the oceans when washed.
