I'm of course emotionally connected to it as I drew it, but numbers 
rule, so it can go if it's not selling well enough.
Someone needs to draw new ones to replace the current ones first though, 
and I have a hard time coming up with stuff that is not too crazy. [1] :)

Note that the only physical(ish) limit of the store is the front page, 
it is still possible to keep all the, say, FOSDEM t-shirts in a 
subcategory if that is desirable.

1. Too some extent I want to do really designish stuff, (possibly 
opposed to geeky) as I think it's good to communicate that the GNOME 
community really, really care about design. If people are comfortable 
wearing them in public because they look good, and not just because they 
like GNOME, that's great.
