POLL: FIRST related clothing...

Ok, I looked at the prices for the different styles of shirt, and they were too exorbitant... so I removed all but the plain white, which now only costs $12...




P.S. I'll never be a shop-keeper

hm i like the middle one ;]

and if you were to make the shirt (not sure if you really intended to sell it or not) you should move the box down because it seems a little too close to the top of the shirt.

OK, that wasn't very GP of me. It's in section 3.12 and 3.14 - Do not sell any products. This includes food, hats, shirts, or any promotional products.

As Kathie says, teams cannot sell anything at the Regionals.
Lots of teams with great ideas and I've already told 3 teams so far this year (hoping to have team fundraiser with fantastic ideas) that they cannot sell at the Chesapeake. Same for every regional. Listed under "Site Information" for your event. Sorry.

A little bit pricier for the dark options, but not too bad.
Feel free to PM me with any customizations that you want...

Depending on a few things, these might switch vendors soon... Just letting y'all know.

I think this is a pretty good price.

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.
