I guess it is.

Do you own a polo-shirt and when did you wear it for the last time? I 
don't have one, and I don't remember knowing anyone who regularly wears 
one...

Additionally a polo with a printed logo looks weird (at least for me). A 
pattern would be ok, but IMO a logo on a polo should be rather small and 
trimmed with piping.

Thus I'd suggest the following: _If_ we're going down the polo-road we 
should actually order CentOS Patches (which shouldn't be that expensive) 
and polo-shirts separately. We'll probably be able to find someone with 
the required sewing-skills...
However, I guess it is still more expensive. I can probably get rather 
good polo shirts (Fruit of the Loom) for around 9 EUR each - the printed 
shirts cost around 11 EUR (both excl. vat).

So if somebody comes up with a <= 2 EUR CentOS-Patch and a worker 
willing to sew them for free, at least the price would be competitive.

Andreas
