Adding my two cents, what's the point of having unusable (according to Dov)
shirts? Wouldn't it be better to just have no shirts at all?

I have a similar experience from August Penguin from a few years ago (not
last year), but that time the shirts didn't fade but were simply... ugly.
Half the shirt was filled with a mess of unrelated logos of the meeting's
sponsors. As I didn't want to look like a walking newspaper ad page, I never
could bring myself to wear that shirt in public.

So at some point - if the shirt can't (for different reasons) be nice enough
or durable enough - it might be better not to have a shirt at all.

Something I'm still using, by the way, is an Hamakor mousepad I bought at
some AP. It had just the amuta's logo and slogan, and that's it. Nice and
simple, and usable.
