As far as I know all conference t-shirts are sold out.

There's an EPS version at my own logo page:

This isn't going to be very helpful, but I thought I'd share this -- a
couple of nights ago, when reading One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, I
noticed that some of the ink on the "You need Python" t-shirt is somewhat
glow-in-the-dark.

I'm planning to release a selection GvR lookalike LEGO figures soon.

We need a logo with the Python mascot on it. Ala:

Rubbish. We don't even *have* a mascot.

(Or, would you want a picture of Tim Peters on your shirt? ;-)

We need a mascot! I thought it was a python? Though it seems to have
gotten some competition from a rat. Of course, our python python mascot
isn't very easily distinguishable from other pictures of pythons and
snakes; while Tux, the Linux penguin is easily noticed amongst its kin.

> (Or, would you want a picture of Tim Peters on your shirt? ;-)

Is he thin and legless? Does he strangle his prey? I thought he was a
robot, anyway. :)

A giant foot? A crunchy frog? A newt that got better?

We could *really* confuse people and use LP's rat as a mascot.

Naturally, this is a self-serving advertisement. ... But, what about the
double-headed sky serpent I use on my Mayan web pages? It's not a
python, of course, but it *is* a symbol for the Milky Way. Snake and
sky are the same word in many Mayan languages.

See

and it's right at the top of the page. If you haven't seen this page
before, you might, in Guido's words, ``get a chuckle.''

That's it! Our mascot is *whitespace*! And, as a bonus, our T-shirt
is already on sale at major retailers everywhere!

Seriously, I think a general Python T-shirt would be a Good Thing. If
all else fails we can each render Just's "Python Powered" logo onto
iron-on transfer stock. . .

Robot or not, there is no difference. It's all imagination ...

I like that one: whitespace. It seems to be what many non-pythoners associate
with python anyway (oh, it's that "whitespace language"), and that way we
co-opt a large number of shirts already in circulation.

Also, I remind the snake people that python has nothing to do with snakes.
According to the faq, cans of spam and 100 ton weights are preferred. Stuffed
parrot?

UC Santa Cruz uses the banana slug as a mascot. Despite being highly
appreciative of bad taste, I'd really prefer we not get into a game
of one-downmanship with them.

Strange... I always did associate Python with, well, a python, because it's
powerful and flexible... much more appropriate than the names of some other
languages.

I'm very sorry, but exclusive shirt rights to my image were recently sold to
Pamela Lee Anderson.

I had a chuckle. My boss here already suggested I should make a Python
temple web page where people could come to atone for their sins (of
using Perl or worse). Now it turns out there is already one. My boss
suggested a religion more christian in flavor though. :)

I know this, but of course nobody cares and everybody uses the dangerous
reptiles anyway. :)

"So, what language are you using?"

"Python"

"So I know what your mascot is, wink wink nudge nudge?"

"Yeah, our mascot is a 16-ton weight."

No! Remember -- Python is named after Monty Python, not after the
snake. If we should have a mascot, it should be a MP-mascot. (Like the
rabbit with big pointy teeth or something <wink>)
