I met an Esperantist today purely by chance!

I did wear a few esperanto T-shirts. The first that was made in France was with the slogan "Esperanto ou tard, vous y viendrez" (Esperanto aux malfrue, vi venos al ĝi; la lasta silabo de "Esperanto" similas al la adverbo "tôt", kiu signifas "frue" - apologies for the shift: Esperanto or late, you will come to it; "tot" meaning "early" in french).

I had a cap with "saluton!" printed on it. For me, it is the ideal: Any esperantist can recognize it and it is discrete enough for not being suspected of proselytism. Moreover, it is polite and friendly.

Using useful material is interesting: a cap, an umbrella, a bag - if conveniently designed - etc. So people not openly hostile to esperanto can use them...

You mean "Parolu Esperanton aŭ Mortu!" isn't polite or friendly?

Have you seen the "Got Milk" shirts?

We could make our own that says:
"Havas Esperantan Lakton?"

Do you think, that broken Esperanto would do the trick of connecting Esperantists? ridego.gif

Also, why the milk? I don't get what „esperanta lakto” is supposed to mean… :/

I have no idea what Esperanta lakto is? Maybe, it is green milk. Maybe, it is milk that comes with an Esperanto label.

I think it's a reference to the old meme - "got milk?"

Broken Esperanto, however, is unlikely to impress anyone.

If I saw someone wearing an Esperanto-themed t-shirt, I'm not sure I'd assume right off the bat that they spoke Esperanto, or even necessarily knew what it was. I'd more likely wonder if they got it at one of those "10 for 3" t-shirt stands at their local flea market and just liked the design.

I have, at times, had numerous t-shirts advertising yacht clubs I've never heard of (nor have evidence even exist), not to mention not ever having owned a yacht. I know I've worn shirts advertising bands whose songs I've never heard, and programming languages I've never written programs in for databases whose names I barely know. The contents of my t-shirts frequently have no bearing on really much of anything other than whether the design will get me kicked out of restaurants and other public venues or not (I tend to favor not).

Pins actually make a statement of "I speak Esperanto" that you can probably pretty reliably count on, unless you're dealing with one of those people who wear, like, 200 pins at a time as some kind of fashion. T-shirts, though, don't really say the same thing even when they literally say the same thing.

+1 - also, I have some shirts depicting places I've never visited - got them as gifts. Makes for a nice conversation piece if nothing else, but you can't assume too much. At the very least you can ask the person why he's wearing that shirt, and figure out from there if he's an EOist.

Vestitor:There is no way I would wear an Esperanto-themed t-shirt. It's a bit zealous and weird. I've seen all this before going to socialist party congresses: people dressed head-to-toe in promotional clothing, carrying a themed bag and taking notes with a themed pen..!

No thanks. I'd take the unobtrusive, but visible metal pin-badge. I don't want to look like a clown.
Who are you responding to? Certainly not my proposal regarding t-shirts.

A man walks into a hotel in Kathmandu and asks a clerk: "Do you speak Esperanto by any chance?". The clerk replies: "Malbona knabo!". www.vaticanradio-us.org/webcasting/esperanto_2_1.mp3 at 7'22"
