National FIRST Shirt Day

[ebmonon36]

I was sitting in my Engineering 103 class at Purdue this morning and I was wondering how many people in the room are involved with FIRST. I came up with the idea that maybe everyone could wear a FIRST related shirt on the same day so we could all see how many FIRST people we see without even realixing it. I don't know if anyone has ever tried this before but I thought it was a cool idea. Any thoughts?

I know there are a "few" people here that were on the TechnoKats-45 in the past (atleast 6). Also last week here at Purdue at the free Social Burn concert DJ and I saw a kid wearing an OCCRA shirt.

I am up for it, it sounds really great and would be interesting to see how wide spread FIRST is. just say a date and I'll spread the word to all my fellow L33Ts that dont check out the site

sounds good but I think only 17% of the kids involved with FIRST actually go on delphi but other than that just tell me when...

How much time do we need to get the word out for such a thing? Are some days of the week better than others?

What a cool idea....this would be a great way to build up the visibility of FIRST everywhere.

How about picking the same day every month (say, the 13th) to wear the shirts? That way, over time we would have a growing number of people who learn that they are supposed to "dress up" on that day.

Why the 13th? Its easy to remember.

Sounds good

And if anyone would like to donate a team shirt to my ever growing FIRST shirt collection, IM or PM me

Hopefully soon I'll get a picture up with my new team 93 shirt on

I think I like the once a month thing or even once every 3 months. If we do it too often, it could not only wear out the shirts, but it might loose the coolness of everyone wearing their shirts on the same day.

Yep, I have more FIRST t-shirts than "other" t-shirts. Significantly more.

My roomate and I talked about it today, and we realized that one or both of us is always wearing a FIRST shirt.

i dont tend to walk out of the house, wearing team 25's colors, mainly cause they always stick me with a shirt thats to small, and well hawiian shirts in NJ makes people wonder but i wear my Team 93,103,56,Brunwick Eruption Crew shirt, PARC crew shirt and soon 229 shirt all over the place

sounds great.. I know I'd love to see it on campus!

I think the best thing would be to keep it on a standard monthly date like the 13th.
