First a short rant on pdxcon t-shirt: Who in their right mind chooses to make a t-shirt in white? its litterally insane. Most of us of northern european complexion cant wear a white t-shirt without looking like a ghost. At the same time the posters were black, the last two cons and the fangathering t-shirts are black and the "logo" with "Make History" in pink which has a beautiful contrast on black looks like awful on white.
Seriously i almost told the guy giving out the t-shirts to keep it, because i know i wont ever be wearing it. One of the people i was there with commented that he had gotten a new "painting shirt" for the same exact reason.

I kinda feel like its a shame, because for some i dont doubt these t-shirt can be a fun memo or something they would use, i mostly see a waste of money and materials. I would rather have a cool print and then it marked with "pdxcon 2019" or something similar.

This part i think is for both the con t-shirt and the other types of t-shirts paradox in general is selling. Cant we get some proper shirts which it is possible to wear every day. I know some people would wear shirts that say "PDXcon 2019" or "Crusader Kings 3" and personally i might have when i was studying. But i dont really find that type of clothing to fit in a business meeting and its not really the type of stuff i would like to wear either.

Instead of a t-shirt with just the game name on or some text cant we get something which is visually pleasing, i know thats subjective. Something which looks like a cool print but people who knows the games/company can identify.
Two of my favorite "gaming" t-shirts i have had was a LoL paintbrush Lux t-shirt. it was stylish and people who knew LoL would be able to see what it was, while for everyone else it was just a super cool print.

Another was a WoT Sixth Sense t-shirt. basically just a game icon on a t-shirt but the contrast made it cool. most people would just see a lightbulb while people knowing the icon would identify it as a WoT shirt.

Please give us some t-shirts its actually possible to use as an adult who likes cool prints but cant and wont wear something which is just a game name.
