Not needed bro, but if that is better for you we can do that.

In terms of prizes, we got things like 3D printed vertical germinators with the BB logo
Mosh is getting some T shirts made
We have multiple people donating seeds in breeder packs
Still working on additional options. I know @Mad Max has some cigarettes and hermie seeds to donate, and I think @SweetLeafGrow has some cool stickers. :)

@Moshmen I slang a ton of T's through my work. I've sold more apparel than I'd like to admit. At the least, I'd like to bend your ear as to the exact T's you may choose and why. Personally, I highly recommend shooting for a style of shirt that has a fair amount of "Heather" color options. If it says "heather" in the color title, it has fibers of polyester and makes them softer and last longer.
Let me know if ever need any help with that gear. I actually have www.sanmar.com, www.s&sactivewear.com, and www.alphabroder.com all open now because I'm placing order for North Face Jackets to get embroidered along with hats like -> HERE

Yeah a lot of color combos and that hat supplier is also a wicked in-house embroiderer.

As for T's, this HERE is a solid option and you can see from the names of the colors there are a lot of "heather" options. The Black Ink Heather, Charcoal Heather, Indigo(navy) Heather, Military Green Heather, all instead of 100% cotton are 60/40 ringspun cotton/poly. Wayyy softer, never get stiff from washing, and last longer than straight cotton by country mile. They are all I wear when have the option

I used to make clothing for a living for a while. I still have hookups in indo, peru and vietnam for T's. India for outerwear. I also used to manage small to medium size indy designers producing their designs. Shit that you see in high end designer boutiques like Bergdorf Goodman or Maxfields. Did a lot of work with American Apparel and high end jean brands like True Religion, Ralph Lauren, etc.

Had a customer that wanted US made blank T's but didn't want to pay the price. He asked me to import T's and he would retag them. I told him customs requires size and made in labels or they won't let them through. This was for an order of 144,000 T shirts. Basically a 40 ft containers worth. Spoke with the manufacturer in Vietnam and he said no sweat. He knows how to get them through customs.

Instead of sewing labels into the collar or side seam he screen printed all the info on the neck of the T with a small size label only in the side seam. I asked him how this would help as it would say made in vietnam and the customer wanted it to say made in US. He said he had screen printed the made in info on the neck with starch. The moment they hit water, since we were dyeing them different colors, the starch would wash off and he could sew in whatever made in labels he wanted.

I’d estimate 70% of all medium to high end t’s is a knock off ? Super easy to get around copyrights and manufacturing info will do whatever you’re willing to pay for ! Cheap I might add

When I worked with 7 for all Mankind, a jean brand, they used to "blend" product. They manufactured jeans in Alcapulco, Mexico and would bring them in and "blend" them with US made ones. No one really reads labels so you wouldn't notice until you'd bought, worn and washed them. Too late to return them.

Their head of production told me they were doing 70/30 blending. 70 US 30 mexico.

Most of the T's you see from the bigger guys like Gildan or Hanes are all pretty much made overseas but they're model caters to screen printers so they didn't do much design outside of the ones they had and didn't use the high end fabrics that many of my small/medium designers used. Most of their fabrics were 20 singles weaves whereas most designers were looking for lighter, drapier fabric weights like 30 or 40 singles. When I worked with American Apparel, I dyed all their work that came out of their designer division since most of the designers wanted custom colors. Now all the major manufacturers do the lighter weight fabrics for the drape but back when I was doing it it was pretty much custom order only.
