Re: Fast, Cheap Shirt Vendor Recommendations?

Local Math: 1arm+1leg > $20 per shirt, plus setup charges... Including sponsor and parent shirts, that's over a grand just for shirts. This rookie started-at-Kickoff team can't afford that! We already went with school shirts for Event #1 "away game" because the first shirt order we were depending on fell through.

Event #2 next Friday is our "home" game. Some of the sponsors will be attending. IMO, if we to see them again it would be smart if we could dress 'em in shirts with their name on them. We really have little budget for shirts because originally they were to be donated. But that fell through, so we now have to bite the bullet and buy something. Artwork took longer than expected (we have it now), so here we are.

So... Given more good leads from you guys for net vendors, even with Rush Shipping I hope to do a lot better than the above price!

So far, here and other net searches imply that $5-10 each is a more reasonable ballpark price. We'll live with that. But I haven't heard back yet from a US vendor that can do the job, so please keep the suggestions coming!

(...and beyond OUR needs, I'd like to hear more links from people, so this thread can act as a reference for OTHERS, too...)

Thanks!
