Re: [GSAS-board] How about some club shirts?

[Steev Ward <steevward@yahoo.com>]

Susan brings up a good point. Last time we tried to come up with the "Unifying 
Theory" of T-shirts and the final hang-up was that the cost was high. Reminds 
me of that saying that a Camel is a Horse designed by a committee.

BUT if we do as Phil says, and come up with a design first then it will be up 
to the members to decide what they want that design emblazoned upon.

And if members VOTE on a design then we will have a very good indication of how 
many people are interested in having a shirt of that design, AND they can vote 
for a design that complements the type of shirt they intend to purchase. So if 
Clay wants a red polo shirt with built-in pocket protector and slide-rule 
holder he could vote for a design that would look good on that. Or Calye might 
vote for a design that prints well on metal. Me, I would want a picture of a 
fish and the letters GSAS on the front of a black t-shirt.

So instead of trying for an Official GSAS T-shirt with Logo I support opening 
the design competition to all and letting the chips fall where they may. I plan 
on submitting a couple different designs myself and I imagine that many others 
will too. Even if a lot of people don't like the winning design it will still 
be fun, and if the shirts are reasonably priced I would buy a couple of them 
... and then we could do it again NEXT year with another design. Like a Huskies 
Rose Bowl shirt. If I still had one of the old 70s shirts with the Lionfish on 
it I would wear that sometimes.

Oh no! A ti-shirt with a pocket again; that was an idea we got stuck on and it 
drove the cost way up.
