Can we make sure that the shirts are ASCII only?
That's not the whole of the issue - the issue is that the shirts were
designed for printing on an ASR-33, and most modern t-shirts use an
entirely different technology.
Although it'd be trivial to use the existing tools we have devised to
modernize the design to fit modern best practise for shirt designs,
the preferred solution is to make us wear ancient shirts instead. For
many, including anyone wishing to be mobile or of a non-traditional
IETF size, this will mean less flexibility in the shirt, however,
this has been deemed unimportant, as it's well-known that - despite
any evidence to the contrary - nobody moves whilst wearing an IETF
shirt, and we are all precisely the same 80-inch girth. Frankly,
anyone any different should sit still and eat the cookies - that's
what they're there for, after all.
It should be noted that this argument has been done to death on a
number of occasions, and of particular note is that although other
SDOs have their shirts made to fit the maximum number of people, many
of them even moving, that is of no consequence to us, as we need to
be able to wear our shirts many years into the future, unlike those
foolish fly-by-night folk.
HTH,
Dave.
