I wouldn't mind having a T-shirt, even at $18.95 a pop, but I would insist
on having an XXL size available. I like my shirts to be loose and floppy...
very...even after the inevitable shrinking that comes with washing.
 
As for the logo...I assume that since none of this money is going to
Black Park or TVT, that we have to avoid logos like album cover art,
stylized banners from the albums, and other copyrighted material. So
what would our logo be?
