Blue would be a very nice touch but we may stumble on the price problem 
(IIRC, black t-shirt costs more than white and blue will cost even more) 
and it may be difficult to find the right shade of blue.

There is something about this one that made me like its design.

Hmmm... instead of the girl with the chainsaw having a geek with a geek 
tool... (FreeDoom chainsaw? OpenArena rocket launcher?)

That one makes me think at F7 "flying high"

Can we come with such a clever slogan about freedom?

If that one would be green, it would make me think "openSUSE"

How about one with a... starfish ? :p

Indeed, I feel awkward to goo to a meeting wearing the FUDCon 2008 
T-shirt, it is past its time. Would like to have a design which passes 
the test of time


PS: actually I saved one of those thin, transparent, white, "I <3 
fedora" t-shirts waiting for the opportunity of some politically 
incorrect photography work. I'm still saying "maybe this summer..."
