Pursuant to all the discussion about pocket vs. no pockets, collars vs. 
no collars, organic cotton vs. inorganic cotton(?), I've come to feel 
that anything that promotes Linux might be appropriate... and I'm 
suggesting:   "Linux, the lug nuts of NCLUG" as pretty all-inclusive for 
slogan.  Maybe we should have a cartoon of someone trying to "install" 
Tux in an old PC case. 

Oh, I'd like to sign up for whatever is ordered.  I've been thinking 
about the same sort of thing and have been in touch with Queensborro 
Shirt Company at http://www.queensborro.com  or reached at 
1-800-847-4478.  The company was started by the owner in college, and 
has grown to be competitive nationally.  I was struck by their polo 
shirts which could profit the club selling at $15.00 ea.  They do both 
printing and embroidery, which I've been considering for the FRPCUG logo.
