If you forget to pick up one, simply download it, print it, and turn it in along with your payment to Nick Hill. There are a few items to note in this years t-shirt orders; first off the design has not yet been fully approved through Washburn’s licensing for us to use the Washburn Athletic’s “W”; therefore it is possible that the design on the front of the shirt could change. If this happens, we will post updates to notify all members.

In the mean time, thank you for those who participated in commenting on the design, we hope more members will sign up and participate in discussion on the website.
