Great idea man, I always though that the one thing Steemit was lacking was some good promotional tools. I definitely would rock some STEEM gear and tell people about it.
Only thing is once you start explaining it people's eyes glaze over and they begin to tune you out. I've tried unsuccessfully to explain it to a few people over the past week and it totally went over their heads.
Agreed! And long overdue! I can't believe nobody thought of this and I can't believe I didn't either. This is either going to be a complete flop or extremely successful. Let's hope it's the latter :) Nice work!
I would like to believe that once Steemit gets the onboarding issues sorted and the marketing side of the house begins with initiatives that communicates clearly to potential new comers the advantages of being a part of the Steemit community, your attemps at winning people over will become a lot easier.
