I know that there is already a thread about poor distribution, but that is not exactly what my complaint is. I understand that only the top 8 should recieve T-Shirts (and the door prize people), so 8 shirts is plenty for a tournament. My problem is the size of the shirts. I ended up getting a SMALL shirt, when I normally wear XL or 2XL. This makes me angry because the ONLY shirt they had left was a small. It is a fact that all clothes (especially shirts) made out of cotton will shrink in the laundry. If I wanted a small I could just launder my 3XL like 5 times, then it would be a small. In conclusion, I believe that all prize shirts should be size 3XL. If that doesn't work, I believe that you should at least send 8 EXTRA 3XL shirts for the people who would want them.....like me.
Not with ya there toooo much Vash, I wear a Small and am glad such a tshirt exists, or I wouldn't be able to wear mine! In fact, in some events here they only have large shirts, lol. If it'll make you feel better, I have a Large DSM shirt I could maybe trade for your small?
I concur with Fish on the T-shirt size thing. Over here it tends to pan out that the provision of T-shirts is skewed to the absurdly large. I don't know if it's a demographic thing, but it tends to be that the people that win them over here don't normally require sizes with even single X's let alone multiples.
Let me make this clear: It's not that I need a very large shirt....it's that I WANT a very large shirt. XL shirts shrink down one or 2 sizes when washed a few times to about the size of a large or a medium.
Also, for the 10k at the exactly same store, they sent like one hundred shirts........when only top 64 get shirts. Why didnt they send like at least 20 this time?
...and FD, sorry, my shirts GL....I want another GL.
I am a pretty large dude. I normally buy XL, although I can wear Large fine. I got my shirt as a door prize, so I got a large one. However the players who placed nicely in the main event got smalls. However the TO appearently had more upstairs, so everyone get an apporiate size. So I know that atleast some places got extra shirts sent.
I myself collected all the t shirts, all of them being large(my size), except my spiderman one which is 2xLarge. Well all i can do is hang it up on my wall :p . W/E i think UDE is trying harder, at the GL sneak peak they had plenty sizes.
Starting with the Marvel Knights Sneak Preview, we've been distributing shirts in a range of sizes for Sneak Previews, PCQs, and $10,000 Championships. For example, the Green Lantern Sneak Previews received 1xS, 1xM, 2xL, 2xXL, 1x2XL, and 1x3XL.
This doesn't guarantee you'll always get exactly the size - there's always a chance that other winners need the same sizes, so someone is going to not get exactly what they want.
We've also gotten feedback similar to what Tim said, and will start modifying distributions for areas like Europe to take into account regional differences.

Why must you insult me like that?
Really... it's a thyroid condition.
Err... it's just baby fat.
I'm big-boned.
In all honesty, it's better for the shirts to be bigger than smaller. At least a smaller person can still wear a bigger shirt, whereas a bigger person can either look really weird in his GL belly shirt or use it as a do-rag for his head.
I don't think any shirts smaller than medium should be sent to stores. There are very few players that can wear a small adult shirt. I think L and XL need to be about 80% of the shirts sent out.
