Everyone knows that professional conference goers like myself attend events not to listen to presentations, not to network but to collect schwag. Over the past couple of years I’ve done fairly well collecting tech t-shirts and I decided to create a weekly series critiquing tech companies t-shirt offerings in the expectation that a company with a great t-shirt is a prime candidate to have a great product also. Click here to see the series.
If you’d like your t-shirt reviewed, flick me an email to arrange things. The judges decision is, of course, final and very little correspondence will be entered into (perhaps).
defrag 2009, occupying a prominent space in the expo area, software vendor (and creator of well known editing software Camtasia) TechSmith demos 
it’s new visual collaboration offering, Jing and, more importantly, it’s new t-shirt design.
In an edgy move, the TechSmith shirt features a WWII bomber run, dropping parachutes underneath which float slides and filmstrip – it’s a somewhat whimsical and pretty cool approach.
Hot
- The front design is actually pretty cool – kind of Bauhaus, kind of retro and kind of whimsical
- I like bby blue, it brings out my complexion or something (actually it just makes a change from black)
- 100% Cotton
Not
- Way too many logos on the back
- Made in Mexico… but I’ll accept that the fight against third world manufacturing is a battle I’ll never win
Thanks for the t-shirt review! Great idea! This is a first for us!
I appreciate the feedback and will pass it on to our creative team!
On a side note, we did use a local vendor to purchase and had them printed locally in Lansing, Michigan, but as you mentioned they were not manufactured here.
