I want YC T-Shirts because I LOVE news.yc and:

1) I want to evangelise the good news of YC, and of startups by students, around campus.

2) I want to fly a flag so that other hackers/YC faithful know that I'm one of them too, and we can come together.

3) I want the world to know it!

So Jessica, Paul, Robert and Trevor: Make YC T-Shirts, PLEASE!

Sizes: XS (for the ladies;) to XXL, Colours: White/Orange/Black, Slogan: "Make Something People Want"

What do you guys reckon?

We have YC T-Shirts, and they say "Make something people want" on them. All the people we fund get them.

Hey Paul! Thanks for clearing that up. When will you make them available to the general YC faithful for my aforementioned reasons? I believe it will benefit YC when it eventuates.

To get one, just fill out this simple form:

What about the more ballsy shirts seen here?

There are actually three kinds of shirts: gray ones that say MSPW, plum-colored ones that say "Strap on some plums" (the other half of succeeding in a startup), and black ones, of which there are only 7 in existence, that say "I made something people want."

Paul, what does "Strap on some plums" mean, and why is it the other half of succeeding in a startup?

Thanks for the comment, zach! Even though the pic from your link said, "Strap on some plums.", I did manage to find THE YC T-Shirt pic from it so it's all good:

Also, there's a link above it that takes you to YC's Shoutfit category, "Y Combinator Gear". Perhaps a new design is in order?
