Ask HN: Review my idea - iwearyourtshirt.com

4 points by hellweaver666 ↗ HN
Hi guys,

I'm off travelling later this year with my wife, it's something we've been dreaming of doing for many years and are now finally after five years of hard work clearing debt in a position to make it a reality. I really want to make this an amazing experience, so I was hoping to try and raise some extra cash by auctioning off the advertising rights to my chest for a whole year.

I see it as a win win situation - I get some extra cash for my travels and the winner gets some serious exposure to potentially millions of people over the course of a year (both online and offline).

What do you think? Is it something you would be interested in using to promote your startups?

Thanks!

What's the difference with http://iwearyourshirt.com/?
He wears a different shirt every day for a year, I wear the same shirt every day for a year.

So on http://www.iwearyourtshirt.com the winning brand would get massively increased exposure.

It took me some minutes to figure out the difference in those 2 urls. I think it might be better in terms of usability and fairness if you chose a different domain. one that differs more from the existing project.
Wearing the same t-shirt all year? Have you considered the smell? It might backfire for the company advertising on it ;-)
Unless I personally know the guy, most of the time my eyes are on the lady. But no mention of her wearing the logo...
