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.
