Above is a reduced size version of the artwork for the proposed 2009 EAAF t-shirt; a few minor tweaks to the art are still anticipated. Rather than to guess at demand and maintain an inventory, these t-shirts will be sold on a subscription basis, that is, orders will be collected and prepaid, a printing arranged (there is a two dozen overall minimum) and the t-shirts shipped. The intent is for this to be a 'break-even' project with the cost held down as much as possible.

Subscription Period: Orders will be accepted through the month of July, 2009 and will close at the end of the month. No promises either way about future reprintings. If you decide you wish to buy a shirt, please express that interest by voting in the poll on this thread, so that a demand estimate may be made.

Options and Prices: Two versions of the shirt will be offered; both will be light blue shirts with dark blue printing. The first is a plain t-shirt printed only on the front (like the previous shirts). The second is a t-shirt with a front pocket having the main design printed on the back and a with a small rendering of the crossed krisses on the front pocket.

For reference, the maximum anticipated costs of the shirts up through size XL, excluding shipping, will be:
$11 for the version printed only on the front and
$13 for the pocketed version with the main design on the back
(XXL is also available, but costs $2 more)

Please do not pay until the poll closes and the actual price is announced - if demand is good, the proportional share per shirt of the fixed costs will decrease and this savings will be passed along to you. When the time comes to pay at the end of July, you will have an option of making one PayPal payment and getting a refund of any overage once the shirts ship or making a first payment for the shirts in late July and a second payment for exact shipping (& PayPal fees) once they are printed and packed.

Shipping for a single shirt by priority is $4.95 within the U.S. and $12.95 to most relevant international destinations; slightly cheaper alternatives may be available, but provide little savings. For more than one shirt, rates get complicated with regular airmail (first class international) becoming the economical international alternative.

HI Lee,
Is the pocketed version just a T shirt or is it with a collar as per a Polo shirt?

I believe it is the Gildan Ultra Cotton 2300 Adult Pocket Tee; a regular t-shirt with a pocket and no collar.

If you really want a polo style shirt, I can ask the printer what the pricing would be presuming he can get these in a small quantity through his distributor.
