Re: Draft of design for the new PostgreSQL shirts

Hi guys,

  I want to explain why I'd go with the blue:

1) that's the designer's first choice (I trust him)
2) blue is PostgreSQL colour - as well as the Italian National team of
soccer - the Azzurri - just kidding guys!
3) white gets dirty immediately
4) black is too obvious
5) we cannot afford more than a colour t-shirt at the moment
(otherwise we need to produce another 500 shirts to get the same
price)

If that's too big I am going to report it to the designer.

Well ... too much pressure now ... :)

That's the same the designer told me.

I will collect all your thoughts and report them to him.

Thanks.
