NeJST Shirts

Anyone interested in ordering any shirts, please let me know. They are $30 each with names on the back.

This was the first sample of the logo we're using on our shirts. I favor the lighter color over the darker. The two colors change based on the color of the shirt.

I am not stocking up on them....I'll take pre-paid orders.

Shirts are available in the following colors:
black, ash, kelly green, white, bimini blue (medium shade), cobblestone (brownish), forest green, heather gray, ivy (dark green), navy, red, sand, lake blue, and maroon. Oh yes, we did find an orange shirt also.
