Previous considerations

• Quality shirt brand (like Gildan or American Apparel)
• Men's & Women's version, unisex versions are no good.
• Sizes Medium - 5XL Men
• Sizes Small - 3XL Women
• Shirt color Royal
• Front Center print using 2 colors.

We got ~180 shirts in 2012. Currently we have no design for the 2013 shirts.
