Survey Results

BIG thanks to the thousands of you that responded to our shirt survey! We received a lot of great feedback and are implementing the following changes based on your votes.

  1. We’re going to give you the option to opt-out of receiving a shirt and instead, having us donate the cost to OSHU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
  2. We heard you loud and clear, sizing, especially for the women’s shirts, has been very off the past few years. Many of you also requested a more relaxed fit. So, we are going to implement unisex sizing.
  3. Many of you also requested that we offer larger sizes, so we will be expanding our size options to include XS – XXXL
  4. 60% of respondents requested that we keep the shirt long sleeve, which we will do for 2021. However, we are also going to print the same design on short sleeves and tank tops that will be available in the merch store.
  5. DESIGN CONTEST! Many of you requested that we open on the design process to you, our participants. So we are happy to announce that we’ll be accepting submissions starting August 1, 2020. See below for details!
