Remember how I said that tshirts were fair game? That winner would be me. I don't mind paying $6, esp since I missed that season.

And no, I didnt bid/win the ref shirt.

Microsoft donates all the software that the teams get. Microsoft also sponsors a team in the Redmond, WA area (or at least did).

Team 488 is sponsored by Microsoft.

Also, Jessica is correct as well.

its a FIRST Referee Shirt

I'm not sure I know why ... but I'm about to blow my stack over this ...
I have been a referee the past two years at IRI, and FIRST was kind enough to provide the shirts for last years event (I asked to purchase my shirt, and was told I could keep it - and I will be keeping it, NOT SELLING IT !). I am also scheduled to referee in Atlanta in a couple of weeks ...

THIS PISSES ME OFF !!

I wonder where the seller got this shirt ...
Oh well. America ... Ebay ... free market ... what can you do??







OK ... sorry about that ... I suppose I'll get over it ...

I wish I had seen this thread earlier. It would be really cool to have a FIRST ref shirt!

Are they actually sponsored by Microsoft at this point? Originally it was just a bunch of Microsoft employees without any corporate support.
