University of Michigan generic shirt

just your basic shirt.

University of Illinois team shirt

This shirt was one of my favorite designs. The car name was "Photon Torpedo" which is just awesome, and the Star Trek reference rocks.

Messiah College Team Shirt

I don't recall much about Messiah's entry into the race. They were number 77. Their car looked pretty good for a rookie entry. They seemed nice, like most other teams. I'll see if I can remember something else and add to this.

Sunrayce 97 "poster" t-shirt

This is the Sunrayce 97 shirt that is just a copy of the poster used to promote the event.

I remember being in a review meeting with the designers when they unveiled the poster draft. I was not particularly happy with the font, but my opinion counted for squat at that point. Looking back on it, the font's not so bad. The "car" image is from a model of computational fluid dynamics that event sponsor EDS would run for all of the teams.

Principia College Sunrayce 99 team shirt

Principia College Sunrayce 99 shirt. Such a small college, with no engineering program, but they did sooo good! Great people, too, friendly and great senses of humor.

Sunrayce 95 Finish Line T-Shirt

They gave these out at the National Renewable Energy Lab (Golden, Colorado) finish line. Very nice!

More to come...

I just dragged out two full rubbermaid tubs of my solar crap, and took about 180 photographs of the t-shirts and hats. Myriad of posts coming soon.
