I don't think all that will fit on the size smalls. posted by scratch at 6:28 PM on August 4, 2012
How about the text "Metafilter: " written vertically up the front pointing towards the wearer's head, so everything that comes out of their mouth automatically is turned into a Mefi tagline. posted by Salvor Hardin at 8:19 PM on August 4, 2012 [7 favorites]
I have this dream that someday I'll be in a market or something somewhere wearing a MeFi shirt and some cute guy will be like hey! I have one too! And he'll have his MeFi shirt on and it'll all be perfect and and we'll live happily ever after and post lots and lots of fun posts to the Blue and the Green and my nerdy love story dream will finally come true.
Just a thought. You know. Extra motivation for shirts, etc.

These Birds of a Feather, I was kind of hoping the shirts would come with that exact warranty. posted by The Wrong Kind of Cheese at 9:51 PM on August 4, 2012
Haven't we already reached Peak Keep Calm And Move On? I don't think it would be possible for that meme to get any more played out.
It's not a bad idea, but I'd rather see us go for something a bit more original or current. posted by schmod at 11:19 PM on August 4, 2012 [9 favorites]

Matt, will you be able to ship shirts outside of the States? I can't remember if that was an option last round, but either way I missed out. :( posted by iamkimiam at 2:50 AM on August 5, 2012 [1 favorite]
bookman's jealous of my shirt he saw adorning hugandpint. I feel my life's work is now finally done. posted by item at 3:08 AM on August 5, 2012
And I'd like them better still if they came with a range of matching adult diapers that had the moderators faces on the front. posted by PeterMcDermott at 5:41 AM on August 5, 2012
I only hope that they don't have "short" sleeves that go down to the elbow. posted by Red Loop at 5:43 AM on August 5, 2012

Yes, Metafilter ships abroad. It is totally worth the extra shipping cost.
*muses on which version to buy this time and needs a size larger* posted by infini at 6:41 AM on August 5, 2012
I definitely need a size larger. Will have to check which size I bought when they were $5 so I can be specific on my birthday wish list. posted by bilabial at 7:06 AM on August 5, 2012
How about a shirt for each site?
The Blue – Front: Some obscure factoid. Back: Cute cat photo.
Ask MetaFilter: Front: "Ask me, I'm a Metafiltrean!" Back: "But only once a week..."
Projects: "Shirt" arrives as a ream of fabric, some thread, a needle, and some iron-on letters.
Music: Gray flannel. Photo of a 'Metafilter' fx pedal. Goes to 11.
Jobs: Doesn't matter. Nobody will buy it.
Podcast: When you order, the mod team draw straws, and the loser mails you the shirt that they're currently wearing.
MetaTalk: Gray shirt with the MetaFilter logo. About 80% of the shirts will be made out of the scratchiest fabric imaginable. posted by schmod at 9:33 AM on August 5, 2012 [7 favorites]
Big Big Question: You wear it twice, then forget about it in the back of your closet.
Fuelly: The shirt covers you best if you avoid sudden starts and stops and do most of your wearing on the highway. posted by subbes at 9:36 AM on August 5, 2012
