i agree with a simple design. do the letsrun logo with "where your dreams become reality" right underneath it, just like what the front page used to have. no need for anything on the back.
Those team wejo shirts are absolutely horrendous. keep it simple, just like the website.
also, i believe you would sell 10 times as many if you sold them from the website.

anything else is silly.
Agreed, nothing else is needed. Give this man a free shirt.

Truth in advertising -
"where your dreams will be mercilessly ridiculed"
Unfortunately "Where your dreams become reality" was lifted from a Boulder mortgage broker's/realty trust office which had this slogan since the early 1990s. It might get noticed by the wrong people in Boulder if it was trademarked.
Oval logo on front of grey shirt,
back quote "hating on american distance running since 2000"
Don't be a f***ing racist, asshat! Letsrun hates on runners of all nationalities. (j/k)

I vote this one.
Geez, that's an easy one.
The logo on the front and
"Just say NO to Rexing"
on the back.
I have a LOT of free time on my hands today. Here's a design I threw together. I "borrowed" a couple of images from this website and the USA XC championships site. They say you can get an order of 120 for around $12.25 apiece. Standard delivery is 2 weeks; for an extra 25% you can get 1 week delivery. Sell them for $15-20, you may not make a ton of money, but you'll promote the site.
where does the letsrun logo come from? i think it's pretty awful, but maybe now it's sort of a thing with the regulars. however, there is a chance to change it now, before offering it to the world at large. first, the alternating blue and red pattern reminds me of when i would write my mom a valentine and i would try to use all of the colors in my 64 pack. also the black outline of the oval should be a few points thicker. also, use arial new, bold-faced font. finally, instead of "where your dreams become reality," something that emphasizes the message board. maybe something like "world famous message board" or "check the board"; or if you want to be funny, something like, "where your posts become a fight"

this is good, because now that i can see the logo on a shirt, i can get a good idea of how terrible i think it looks. maybe it would be better on a heather gray shirt, though. also, the design on the back is too much. my other opinion is that a good design should be front-side worthy. if there's too much action to put a design on the front of the shirt, then there's too much action.
The one by AZrunner is awesome. You should use that one except in a different shirt color. Use navy for the shirt color
How about some of those bright yellow singlets with "LetsRun.com" in iron-on letters?
WeJo is the man:
Another vote for using American Apparel. And the Letsrun logo on just gray, black, white, or yellow would be all you'd need. I think that design is a winner; its simplicity is kind of iconic (albeit in a small subset, but isn't all of running a small subset?). The real debate, in my mind, is whether there should be anything on the back (I say yes), and, if so, what it should be (my vote: Better Than Porn).
Did Wejo beat Downin in that race?
Did Downin just sit and taunt Wejo the whole time?
About the shirt...
While "These Nuts" would be great, I understand the appeal of having a shirt we can actually wear outside of mom's basement. I agree that American Apparel should be used, so that we don't end up with baggy, sweatshirt-material t-shirts.
I think a small letsrun logo on the center or right chest is a great idea.
Any t-shirt with more than one focal point is useless. Simple is always the best.
Ugly logos with weird colors are in! Checked out Hanson's apparel lately. I like the logo AS IS, just the logo on the grey shirt as other posters have said.
The letsrun logo is pretty horrible. Can you redesign it before you put it on a shirt? Seriously. I thought, hmm, I'll probably buy a letsrun shirt. Then I looked at the logo. I just wouldn't wear that thing.

Whatever you do, please do NOT use AZrunner's design--I don't think it can be any worse (sorry, bro).
Wejo's yellow singlet is the best.
No crazy image in the back.

While that is funny to us, others will not get it. If you want to sell something, it should be appealing to a variety of people. Some runners at the expo may not be familiar with Letsrun. They might think the message is negative. I'm not saying we have to please everybody, but we can at least sell them a shirt. Even if they never visit the site, the shirts are still advertising. It would be best to sell shirts from the website as well, including ones with inside jokes.
