Fair points! Our difference is that every item bought through us donates money to free open software projects. And wearing our stuff shows that.

Our designs are basic intentionally. Although, we prefer to call them "minimal" instead! We prefer more simple, less flashy designs--that's just our view on style. We do hope to get more designs in the future, too. Still in the early stages!

Basic/minimal designs are fine, but just by looking at the brand logo the buyer isn't really showing that he supports free open source projects, at least right now. Perhaps adding some tech-specific designs, as the other user suggested, would help associate your brand with that. I wish you the best.
Thanks for the feedback! The plan is to have the brand synonymous with supporting FOSS projects, which will hopefully come over time. We're also looking into different designs that can show this more clearly, but we still want to keep our design ethos of keeping it more minimal and avoiding the current tropes of "engineer clothing"
