hi! i saw your post talking about the sunny merch, it was super interesting! i was curious what the merch used to look like and what the problem with it is now. i thought some of the stuff was cute but idk lol! love your account<3

Heyo, thanks for the ask!

So, Sunny's merch used to be made in part by Suburban Riot, a small company in which the founders were friends of Rob's (of Mac's famous RIOT shirt fame and many other of his iconic shirts, which they used to sell as merch), and in part by FX's own design team, which modeled merch off the clothes or events from the show. (For example, when The Gang Broke Dee aired, you could go to Fox's website and buy one of the "Jokes on Dee" shirts that looked identical to the ones they wore on the show.)

Here's some idea of what their merch page used to look like (Screencap from ~2015):

Around the time of the Disney acquisition, the merch was all moved to Disney's control (and I understand Suburban Riot has now been assumed by another Company anyway...but they seem to still be selling Dick Towels, lol) and IMO you can see the shift in quality and the kind of merch they're inclined to make...

I did not mean to say/imply that all of the Sunny merch now is bad, I actually really like some of the designs (the Christmas sweaters especially), but it's clear a lot of the merch is a formulaic design made to be reprinted across different products. Aside from the stuff that's just pulled off the Season artwork (that has no connection to the season, anyway), my gripes about the merch really lie with how it's clearly designed not for fans of the show, but to appeal to the widest market:

I think the most egregious and obvious example of this is the "bowling" shirt they put out after The Gang Goes Bowling. In the episode, the girls have their team jerseys:

Awesome. Kind of a no-brainer to sell these as merch, right? Well, sure, but statistics say Sunny is a boys show and boys like blue and the numbers also say t-shirts sell best, so let's make it a $70 blue t-shirt that looks like a bowling jersey to sell to the boys instead:

(Why!!!! (Money))

And while they still sell some t-shirts "from the show," it all looks like bootleg merch for some reason..? Like, it is your show, why are you altering the design slightly as if you're afraid to get copyright sniped??

Just make and sell the ACTUAL DESIGN.

This is a design created for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia! Why is the official merch for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia weird rip off designs of the designs created for and featured in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!? It's your show!!!

I don't wanna be looking at this through rose-coloured glasses, though, I'll admit some of the 2010s merch was.. well:

lmao

So my dig at the merch is not to say "all the merch looks bad/cheap now and it didn't use to," but really more-so a point about how FX/Sunny lost the ability to creatively direct the merch, and we're seeing that clearly via the formulaic design and products coming out after the newer seasons that disregard the years long plea from fans just wanting shirts (and products! they used to sell Kitten Mittens!!) that are in the actual show.

And, personally... this is the one that got away... I would pay anything for this one...
