SO Poll: BEST race shirt?
What was the best race shirt/jacket/sweatshirt you've ever received? Was it cool because of the material/color/style or more for sentimental reasons? PIP, if possible.
Sadly, my race shirts have all been just-ok. I suppose my favorite is the ep5K, mostly because I was so proud to have ran in a race. It was my 2nd 5K but the first time I didn't walk the whole thing. No PIP of the shirt, but it was similar in design to the medal (pic from random blog - thanks, Google!) on a white, cotton shirt.

Re: SO Poll: BEST race shirt?
I like that idea. Fun! I've never seen that before.
I enjoy the long sleeve tech t-shirt.
fact: I may run the parks half marathon just to get another shirt b/c I like it so much.
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
I have two favs:
Philly marathon 2010 - Long sleeve, grey, and good material.
Philly women's tri 2010 - Short sleeve, black with pink lettering, also good material
Last year's Cherry Blossom shirt is my favorite:

I hate you very much
I like that one too. DH hates it, though
The Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City, MI does great shirts. No overly-sponsored back, nice tech fabrics, well-known name like Brooks making them. Last year's blue is much prettier in person.

WHAT??? I get tons of complements on this shirt; your DH is crazy
That's pretty cool! I have some really crappy shirts in my drawer.
am I the only weird one in that I hate it when races give tech t/s? I'm so picky about my running shirts and so far, none of the races I've done have good s/s shirts that I'd run in again.
I've done two l/s tech t-s that I like, but it's only because it's not cold enough here to run in l/s that often.

The Disney Tinkerbell Half had a nice long sleeve tech shirt in white. I liked that - all of my other tech shirts are black or blue.
I also like the one from a local 15K, the Lakefront Discovery Run. It has a Frankenstein dressed like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever on it. It is so ridiculous that I like it.
I'm loving my under armour Baltimore Half tee. It's so comfy and cute. I don't know that orange is a great color for me, especially since I get beet red when I run, but I don't have to look at myself when I run
I love my Boston shirt for sentimental reasons, but it still has the tags on. I had a huge old belly by the time it was cool enough to wear it, and have been rocking short sleeves with the mild winter.

Scream Scram Denver has good tee shirts
This is the logo for the I run colorado 5k..I think the shirt is blue.
This is one of the few race shirts I wear on a regular basis. I'm a little partial since my DH designed it.
My favorite non-dri fit shirt is from the Poland Spring Marathon Kick off in 2010. It is the softest cotton t-shirt I have. I wear it on weekends when I'm just running errands or when I get home from work and want to wear something comfy.
There's a shirt that I wish I had bought, but wrongly thought I could buy it after the race, so I didn't get it. H and I did the inaugural Disney Wine & Dine Half Relay and they had a shirt that said "Wine & Dine Half Marathon - I ran SOME of it" (but in a cuter way). I was so mad when they told me at the finish party that they had sold out!
I did a Get Lucky 7k last weekend and we got green sweatshirts that say "Get lucky" on them. LOL love it!
No pic, my size was out and it is being sent in the mail. I got to pick out a free t-shirt as well though, for the inconvenience! Double love!
I like this one too!
