Great looking shirt! And it's nice to see the general design change.

However, what exactly do you mean? You mean we paid some T-shirt company to set up the shirt printer with the design? Or we paid someone who just created the design $750, i.e. paid them for designing it?

If the latter, that is pretty shocking. I could see compensating someone for the design/their time, sure (though not necessarily that much money). But after the first year, the design was just a color variation on the same thing. It should at least have been cheaper than the first time.

That said, I don't think people should have to work for free. Frank certainly put some time in, and if he needed to buy any sort of design software or anything, that should absolutely be paid for by the club. And if you compensate him for his time, I'd certainly consider it money well earned with a great shirt design.

As a small note, it doesn't actually say "ZR-1 Net Registry" on the shirt. Is that intentional? Or just for aesthetics?
