Goodies
Sites take a bit of money to run (not too much, but a bit), so if you like any of these products and feel like buying them, it will help pay for the server costs. If I make more than the server fees, I will donate the rest to Rafa’s foundation.
Calendar
Once again, for 2013 there are two versions of the NNews calendar.
- Davis Cup version – with a page dedicted to the 2010 DC victory for those who bought last year’s sans DC
- Non-Davis Cup version – for those who bought the DC version last year and don’t want to repeat
Water bottles
Stay hydrated while watching tennis and let your support for Rafa show with the Vamos SIGG bottle.

Available in 1L and .6L sizes.
Gear
I have opened stores at both the US and UK/European Spreadshirt shops. If you don’t live in either of those areas, check each site’s shipping policies/costs to see which would be better for you. Once you get your gear, show it to us in our gear gallery.
The following designs are available:
On any of the shirts, you can change the shirt colors, but not the ink colors. Be careful that you don’t change colors to say, white when then ink is white. You might not like the results.
Want a certain color shirt, but different ink? Just contact me with the shirt type and ink colors and I’ll see about adding one. Also, there are many more products available (US product list and UK/Europe product list) and I do special requests.






Positive Acktitude

how do i buy the shirts?? i am from the Philippines
Unfortunately, you’ll have to pick from either the US or UK/Europe stores. Check both and see which one will be cheaper for you once you consider the exchange rate and shipping fees. Sorry, I don’t have any other options at this time.
Good Morning!
On the shirt w/the phrase “with colm” I have a question. Why do you spell the word “CALM” “colm”??? I like that phrase but not with the word colm mispelled. In English the word is spelled calm. Please explain. Thanks so much! RG
It’s spelled that way because that’s how it sounds when Rafa says it.
I ordered my “vamos shirt” today!
So Miri can regomize me whenever i visit a tourney…
Love these! wonderful idea! I love these phrases that Rafa actually says. Here’s another one they should make: “Gonna be a very tough match, no?” LOL
I received my vamos shirt its a red yoga one and fits nice and snug *thinks of it as Rafa on me* literally! I also got my atp tour finals tickets for the O2 and am sooooo excited, just hope I get to see Rafa this time, nonetheless I will be wearing my Vamos shirt proudly for all to see that I am a keen Nadal news follower and a huge fan of the great man himself. Thanks again the shirt rocks!
Glad you are happy with the shirt. Be sure to get a picture of yourself wearing it at O2 for the gallery!
hi miri, where can i see a better description of the sizes of clothing ie what is a L,XL, XXL in womens & mens sizes tx, & do u have a Canadian Distributer? tx again.
On each item, there’s a link title “size chart” next to the drop down of sizes. Click on that link to get measurements. Do that for every style shirt as the measurements differ from style to style.
Sadly, I think you’d have to order from the US shop. Shipping costs listed here.
hi again miri, whats the difference between ups & usps? the price dif is substantial i.e. usps $6.99 for anitem up to 49.95? & usps showing $17.99 for same valued item up to $49. Maybe l am missing something here, l know what ups is but not usps. tx for your quick response to my query. Sincerly Debra
Hi! :D
Love the site and interested in buying a shirt. Could you give me a rough estimation how long it would take to ship to the UK? I’m going to the 2nd week at Wimbledon and would love to be able to wear the shirt by then ;)
Thank you!
Sadly, I can’t be much help here since I’m in the States. Here is their info on processing time and shipping costs. They also have this information on their “Guarantee page”:
Has anyone in the UK bought a shirt and can help Noodle_Bug out?
prices are very costly dude. no body will ever think of buying at these crazy prices. if you reduce there will be lot of sales from hardcore fans like me. vamos
I would love to, but as it is, I don’t make much profit on any item – most of them around $1, maybe $2. There are some cheaper items on CafePress, but I haven’t featured them much since their printing isn’t quite as nice as Spreadshirt.
hi, I really like the Vamos shirt (woman’s heather tee, or something comparable) but in the yellow color/dark ink combination as this baby outfit:
http://nadalnews.spreadshirt.com/one-size-A4479073/customize/color/114
is it possible for you to add it?
The only woman’s shirts available in yellow are these:
Female AA Slim Fit Tee
Women’s Heavyweight T-Shirt
Would one of those be okay? If so, which one?
the heavyweight T-shirt in Small would be great.
I put the design on the shirt, but it looks like right now, they only have the yellow in XXL. Sadly, you’ll have to keep checking to see if they get the yellow in again. here it is.
thanks! i’ll keep checking.
Will there be a 2011 Rafa calendar?
Yes. I just need to get myself in gear and make it. Difficult to pick photos.
Hey, everyone, if you see any photos from this year in my flickr tennis collection that you would especially like to see on the calendar, drop me a message via the contact form and include the url of the photo. I already have one request for this one. :)
Oh, hell yes!! How about you offer that one as, say, a life-sized poster, too?
Don’t know about life-sized, but you can poster prints up to 20×30 inches – no idea how it prints at that size, though.
Thanks, I will definitely buy a calendar (or two), lol. That’s a great photo. :)
I aploogize in advance if my comment causes offence, but I would have thought that any profit should go to Rafa’s Foundation. Afterall it is his name that is generating the profit and it is in direct competition to the calender which is sold for the benefit of his foundation, on his official site.
Your comment most definitely does not cause offense. When I first started the Goodies page, Rafa’s foundation had not done a lot of work in the public eye. I wasn’t exactly sure what their mission was or how they were planning to use their funds. I’m very careful about what charities I donated to, so I just went with one I’d worked with and knew how they operated. Now that I’ve seen the foundation in action (Special Olympics, school in India, etc), I feel much more comfortable designating any profits to that foundation and have been meaning to change the text in the opening paragraph to indicate as much.
Bottom line, however, is that I’ve never earned enough off the goodies to pay for the server bills. So, so far, there hasn’t been any money to donate to any charity. :(
I also strongly encourage people to buy Rafa’s official calendar too. After all, you need some Rafa at work and home, right?
Thanks for the reply. I can’t disagree with your last sentence.
Hi, can I order a shirt to Israel ?
Sadly, it looks like Spreadshirt does not ship to Israel. CafePress does and there’s a limited selection of shirts there.
Dang it, I was already coveting a few of the funny shirts…
Oh well, the vamos shirt is definitely cool enough.
Miri, maybe you should talk to spreadshirts about this because Rafa has a pretty big fan base in Israel and also I’m not the only one to enjoy this wonderful site of yours.
Not criticizing, just a suggestion.
Thanks for the info and all the great work :)
I know, it’s annoying – there are a lot of countries they don’t ship to. I’m looking into another option…it’s just finding the time.
Someone contacted me to tell me their calendar didn’t have holes punched in it – to make it easier for hanging up. (Sorry, in the weirdness and stress of this week, I lost the sender’s email.) Did this happen to anyone else who ordered? If it did and you really wanted holes, contact QOOP and ask for a refund or a replacement. And I’m sorry about the problem – I’ve always had good luck with calendars from them and that’s why I went with them for the NNews ones.
Do you have a paypal account where contributions can be made directly? You have an excellent site.
And as for Rafa’s Foundation, perhaps next year a drive for contributions from visitors here could be done, as a gift for his birthday from NNews.
No, I don’t really want to do the contribution thing. Nor should you feel compelled to buy stuff if you there’s nothing you like. Just offering things in case there is something you might like.
I had thought of doing a combined contribution drive, but hadn’t had time to plan and execute it.
Nolanola just anticipated my request, Miri… your site is wonderful and I’d like to contribute to it without buying goods which imply shipping and producting costs, sometimes problems with shipping and refunds or replacementes… Not to mention that you don’t earn enough off the goodies to pay for the server bills. I simply would like to be part of this by helping you with the server costs. Please let me know if there’s a chance I can do that.
You should so one that says “I don’t have to be here; I am HAPPY to be here”. Okay probably too long but that’s one of my favorite Rafaisms.
Hi Miri,
I was wondering if & when the davis cup 2012 calendar will be available?
Thanks..
Oh crap! I forgot. Let me see if I can do that this weekend.
Thanks so much, you are the best… Can’t wait to see it;)
Hello Miri,
Hopefully,you are working on a calendar for 2012.
My kitchen wall would be very bare without your calendar and Rafa’s Foundation calendar
Fingers crossed that you are doing one again this year.
Best Wishes and many thanks for all you do for us.
Pearl Jackson.
Hello, Pearl. since the place I used to use to make/sell the calendars went out of business and I took so few Rafa pictures this year, I wasn’t going to make one. But Nida’s kindly offered to help by letting me use some of her photos and I’ve found another possible maker/seller…so stay tuned.
Thank you Miri,
I will wait with fingers crossed.
Many thanks for replying to my query ,
Best wishes.
Pearl Jackson.
