shirtforce was created as a community project, supplying (hopefully) humorous t-Shirt designs to for folk in the tech industry, primarily focused at those in the Salesforce ecosystem, and at the same time providing a way to donate money to good causes.
If you read the hashtag wrong, I don’t blame you! Just have a look at the FAQ on the #shirtforce website.
Until last year, no Commerce Cloud-related options were available. And this is because it isn’t known within the Commerce Cloud community.
A week into the war in Ukraine (2022), I looked for options to donate and help, and my “penny” dropped! There already is a Salesforce-related charity option. Why not hop on the same wagon rather than re-inventing the wheel? And with this, we have something permanent rather than a one-time donation.
Let’s not waste time and get straight to the designs and their backstory.
Keep Calm And Go Headless
Most people will have already since a similar text on an image or T-Shirt over the years. In this case, we just changed the subject to “Headless.”
Headless has become more prominent in the Salesforce Commerce space in the past two to three years. Especially with the acquisition of Mobify, this has gotten quite the boost.
And with the option for hybrid (or phased) deployments…another idea popped into my head.
Hybrid Deployment Theory
Based on the iconic album “Hybrid Theory” by Linkin Park, the design represents the album’s title. Referencing the Rhino Engine and linking it to a “hybrid deployment”, it truly is a Commerce Cloud design.
So, if you’re a Linkin Park fan or appreciate great music, I highly recommend adding this must-have t-shirt to your collection.
#DynamiteDev
Without our developers, how would we ever build an eCommerce channel that matches the brand’s look and feel? With this design, we celebrate how amazing they are!
#BadassBA
Inspired by Vanessa Grant, we designed a logo celebrating our Badass Business Analysts! Where would any project be without them?
This design is not specifically for Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud, but it applies!
Breaking Prod
With great power comes great responsibility. And one of the things any developer, merchandiser, or architect can do … is break production!
If you haven’t recognised where this design comes from, you might have to add another show to your “binge-watch” list.
Tip of the iceberg
There are many more designs like these, and new designs often make their way to the site! So be sure to follow #shirtforce!
Selecting a cause
Shirtforce polls for these every few months on what charity to donate to, and it’s a great way to give back to the community. All you have to do is follow the Twitter account, submit a charity that you feel passionate about and encourage others to vote for it (when the time comes).
It’s a simple but impactful way to make a difference and help those in need.
