Robert, just got my cafepress.com ALS Ringer t-shirt in today's mail...I am very pleased with the way it turned out...the crest is detailed and crisp and the colors are really bright....changing "Army Language School" in the arc over the crest as I suggested worked out really well as it makes the whole image look more balanced...I also like the size of the type for "Army Language School"---it is big enough to read at some distance but not big enough to be distracting to the rest of the image....the language ("Russian" in this case) type is slightly larger then the writing of "ALS" which is good and makes it stand out but still not distracting from the whole image...The shirt itself is a Delta Pro Weight 100% cotton; however, the label says it is preshrunk..It seems to be a good quality shirt....I thought I was getting a "red" ringer t-shirt; however, the actual color of the ring around the sleeves and neck are more on the orange side...for me, anyway, I like it better than had it been a red red because this color fits into the colors on the crest very well(just a caution if anyone wants it to be a real red) Overall, I like what I got very much and if I am quality control, I say it is a definite go!!!!

Pricing is $2 over the cost to DLIAFC. The account with vendor cafepress.com is currently 'free'. The breakeven for a fee-based account is $5/month or 30+ sales per year. The main advantage is duplicate items are permitted in the for-fee accounts, so the Exchange items can be in one shop (e.g., ringer Ts listed for each ALS/DLI language). Shipping looks to be 5-6 days for $4 (one item).
