This is a bit of a tangent, but shouldn't this be retitled as "Let's Encrypt merch", since it's for sale/donation. Swag is always free.

#22I so wish I could get XLT swag. It's impossible to find tall sizes in free nerd gear and that makes me sad. `n`XL is for width. I need length, and without it, it's a belly shirt within two washes. My wife loves it though as she gets all my nerd swag.
Same! UnderArmor XLT shirts are so nice....

#23I wish they'd add some books or something that I could more easily "justify" the company buying, since they get so much value from Let's Encrypt.
Maybe something like o'reilly's 'SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS' could bump up their price by $/£5-10 and give the difference to letsencrypt? :)

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
You prompted me to go look - interesting that there are different sizes available per item (even between the tshirts). Wonder if some are sold out and they're just not showing?
Yes, some are available up to 2XL and 3XL, which tends to be enormous sizes in the US.
I would snark that 2xl and 3xl would be considered regular sizes in the US, and enormous sizes in the rest of the world.

#25These actually look good, what a pleasant surprise.
Eh, my aesthetic sensibilities are kind of offended by 3 of the 4 apparel options. But maybe I am not the target audience.
Will probably buy one anyway just to support such a great organization.

#26Debatable whether it's worth posting this comment (but maybe it'll sway like-minded people).. I went to the page and my 21st century brain ignored everything apart from immediately looking for swag photos and price tag... Of course, I saw it and was blown away (I only spend £15/$25 on a t-shirt max) and in a split second ruled it out... But a second went by and I actually realised saw donate button and then the big h…
They’ve saved you even more by making the web secure. We used to type our credit card info into HTTP websites.

For what it’s worth your comment changed my mind and made me re-evaluate it. I also bought a couple of things.
I’ve been hosting my families websites for years and shudder to think of how much money LE has saved me between those sites and every project site I’ve used in that same time. I don’t miss buying SSL certs for every site.

recently stumbled across some new tshirts at academy (sports store), their BCG brand new t-shirts are nice, price is great, and found that the XL and 2XL are longer (much better!) than the Hanes XLTs I've been getting, and just as good as the hanes black label ones that I've found to be a decent length.
I can only guess these are subsidized by the gov/bus investment initiatives in central Americas..
Id be happy donating cash and having rights to print the radiant on of these tees, and some of the WP designs actually - not sure what small run printing runs these days.

Thanks for posting this comment, you've encouraged me to do the same.
