I still have mine somewhere.
It might be about time to do another AZB T-shirt/Polo.
Oh Mike, if you are out there...

It absolutely would but let me offer you some suggestions. Quality of the shirt is important. People should be prepared
to spend $10-$15 more for a higher quality shirt. These shirts are just cotton and don’t decide on a price that people would pay and then go find a shirt supplier. Maybe allow for personsalization, think about collared vs. tee or both & get high quality. I’d pay $50 for a shirt & that buys a lot of different version athletic shirt apparel at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Come up with a shirt that isn’t a gawdy billboard for Az but rather a tasteful but prominent promotional design. You want a shirt that will pass the test of time. Don’t go the way of other pool shirts with outlandish mottos and bizarro designs. When you settle on a brand, find a reliable custom shirt printer and lastly, this isn’t a team shirt. It’s a pool website shirt so don’t let it get too busy with the design.
However, if you want to make this a bigger revenue generator, sell tasteful advertising to sponsors like Seyberts, Pool Dawg, Predator, Kamui, TAOM, Aramith, cue dealer websites like Superior Cues, Classic Cues, Recollection Cues, J& J Cues, etc. Position them so that the shirt doesn’t become a total collage of advertisers unless it’s on the back and then who cares, at least not me. I don’t see the back when I’d be wearing it so make it a revenue bill board.
The key is having a really high quality shirt that washes and drys soft without having to press the wrinkles out. My golf shirts were that way. Vendor shirts at exhibitions are different and better quality. So do it right or don’t bother. You don’t need the newest designs or colors in shirts because shirts are ageless. You could have 2024 stock and no one would know or care. But buy what is already in the USA or tariffs will undermine the financial viability of overseas suppliers. Anyway, put on your think caps and spend a few hours on the Internet researching the viability of this.
But do it right or don’t even bother. All orders would be paid in full in advance. It is your chance to promote your site.
p.s. Am I only only one still wearing these shirts? Gosh, it’s a great way to connect with other Azers in other cities when in town. I think putting your Az handle on the front of the shirt would be cool. I know my handle would get attention from other paisons. If you still have these shirts, how come you aren’t wearing them or maybe you are?
