Y'all will wear the damned polo shirts and like it!

Seriously though, the main reason we do polo shirts is that they are just about the same price as the T-shirts and they hold up very well to repeated washings. If we did T-shirts they'd be rags in a year. (Especially with a full-color iron-on logo.) And yeah, you need to do an iron-on, because embroidery doesn't work on T-shirt material. (As they shrink in the wash, the embroidery thread puckers.)

Maybe it's an individual thing. Right this moment I'm wearing a black t-shirt with a full iron on design from 2006! Yes, 10 years ago. The iron on has faded, but the t-shirt itself is totally wearable. Even in public. I have lots of t-shirts from events and conferences that have lasted a long time. I think the factor is having high quality cotton. I also have lots of t-shirts that I never wear because the material is so thin and uncomfortable.

Maybe at SELEM 20 I will bring my mint condition SELEM 10 polo and we can all admire it.

I agree that the T-shirt will fade and not last as long but at the same time I would wear it once a week for 5 years before retiring it.

If you look at last year the same statements were made. Some people want T-shirts some want polos. At the end of the day i am not putting any effort into making t-shirts and the guy who is likes polos. So we have polos. Completely understandable. I will take my polo and hang it next to the others.

this gave me an idea to rip off^H^H^Hborrow other "X" logos, which maybe we can modify?

LOL I got my fair share of collar shirts but they have buttons all the way down. Last thing I want to wear outside of work is another shirt that makes me look like I am at work. Also I agree with Swami. Who wants to grow up?

ok.. i confess. sometimes i do wear a collared shirt..

I call it remixing rather than ripping off
