[quote][b]Miles Neale (9/14/2012)[/b][hr]At last count none. I have enough pens to last a lifetime but no tee shirts. I work for a state government office and we are not allowed to receive any "gifts" or things as significant as a shirt. It is an ethics violation. People can be written up even over a free donut at a continental breakfast. Shirts are out of the question.[/quote]Absolutely Miles, they are, as well as being a real "geek" alert too.:-D

Only one; a vendor t-shirt from last year's PASS Summit. But maybe that's because I didn't swag shop as much as I could have the first couple days .

I had about 10 from different vendors, most from the 2003 Microsoft PDC in Los Angeles but I cleaned out my closet last year and got rid of all of them except the main PDC03 shirt with all the new MS releases on the back. (Longhorn, Whidbey, Yukon)I would be interested in some SSC gear if you ever get the store back up.

Two, one from SSC and one from TDWI. Now, soccer/ref related, I have quite a few.

I'll have to check.We do give some away at events, but haven't tried to sell them because it's more work than it is worth much else. I'll ask if we can get something else going.

I've got a couple of vendor t-shirts from PASS and a couple of SSC polos. In fact, I'm wearing a green one today!

Hmmmm... Does one from some SQL user knowledgebase with the word "SCUK" on the front count? The only other 'coding' related T I have is one from the 1996 VBits Expo in San Francisco...my one and only conference of this type. I too, would like an SQL T-shirt. Maybe I'll get one at the SQL -Seattle coming up in November......

Sadly, only one (Codestock). All my T's are for UNC (several) and Rush (4).

I have about a dozen with various IT-related products/companies/whatever marketed on them.My current favorites aren't IT though. I recently got a couple of custom t-shirts with:Front: Vote IlluminatiNo matter which candidate gets elected...Your Party Won!Back:Still unsure whether I'm politically undecided or not

No SQL Server t-shirts from any vendor or Microsoft. (I'm a developer first, and an accidental DBA second.)Several MSDN t-shirts (I've no idea how many) and a couple of vendor t-shirts.

I have around 8 or 10, including Red Gate and Experts Exchange. But they're "guy shirts" so mostly my husband wears them. We seriously need some girl shirts out there! Maybe SQL Server Central could start a trend?

None. The only database swag I have is a chess set Oracle gave me. It's nice, too. All glass.

My girlfriend got me 3 SQL Server related shirts for Valentine's Day this year. One was particularly funny. She's not a DBA and had to do research to figure out what I'd enjoy but she knew not to check on this forum because I told her I follow it.

I have a black SQLServerCentral polo that I won on a post a couple of years ago. But I sure would like to have a SQLServerCentral Hawaiian shirt to add to my collection of Aloha shirts. How might I go about that, Steve?I also have a bound, printed copy of the Book of Red Gate. How many people can say that?
