Team T-shirts

Some of you have started plans on your team t-shirt, so I thought it might be a good time to go ahead and get this information out to you.

Over the years, many of you have asked what criteria we use in judging the t-shirts. It's probably not the answer you want, but we do not have any set criteria. It's basically what appeals to most of our judges. The judges vary from year to year. It could be committee members or other volunteers. I know, I'm not much help. Sorry.

I thought photos of last year's winners might spur you on. I was unable to obtain photos, but the team captains did provide me with graphics of their designs. Please remember that these are in no special order. We select three winners, not first, second and third. Also, remember that the theme last year was This One's for the Girls.

This first one was Arkansas Federal Credit Union. I missed most of the shirts last year but absolutely loved this one. No, I didn't judge.

And USPS.











And here's the information regarding the submission of your t-shirt:

Show your Team Spirit and promote your organization by creating a Team T-shirt. It is up to each team to create their own t-shirt design and have their shirts printed. These are NOT provided by Komen. And it is NOT a requirement.

Three awards will be presented for the Best Team T-shirts. This is not a first, second, third place; just three awards, period.

Please have an extra shirt printed to submit for judging. Team T-shirts must be received no later than Friday, October 9. They can be submitted with your Team Packet; mailed to the Komen Office at 904 Autumn Road, Suite 500, Little Rock, AR 72211; delivered to the office Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; or delivered to the Race Space at Pleasant Ridge Town Center during operating hours.

T-shirts will be displayed at the Race Space and at the Pasta Party (weather permitting). Awards will be presented at the Pasta Party.

DOs and DON'Ts
-Team t-shirts CANNOT use the Race logo.
-Team t-shirts CANNOT be pink except those to be worn by survivors.
-Teams can use a pink ribbon but NOT the ribbon used in the Komen logo.
-Teams can use the phrase Susan G. Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure® as long as it appears exactly as written here (including the ® symbol).

Happy designing,
Jill
