Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...

No shirt for me! Overflowing T-shirt drawers...too many years involved with robotics teams. Not sure why I even bought a new team T-shirt this year! (Maybe because I'm the one ordering them?)

FYI about T-shirt graphics and expense-- When you print on bright or dark colors, the printer must print white underneath your design so that the fabric color does not show through the design. To do this, the printer must prepare a "mask" screen that is separate from your design screens. An additional color (white) must also be run. Extra work makes for extra expense.

So it's cheaper to print on white or light colors, but, as mentioned before, those colors show the dirt more. Also, if the fabric is thin, there is more of a problem with show-through.
