Since I'm having issues posting a chart on my site, I figured I'd go ahead and post one here in the meantime:
edit: It's truly amazing when I look at my original post and see what this has turned into. When I printed those original 4 shirts for myself and my friends, I posted a pic here simply to say "Hey...check out this cool shirt I made today" and figured it would bring a smile to your faces and not much more. A few days later, I'm providing you all with shirts and stickers that you can all enjoy for yourselves. I suppose it's all part of the business I'm in but at any rate, this rules.
Good vibes all around!

Just a little update to those who placed orders for stickers:
I should have them in my hands at the end of this week and will ship promptly after receiving them.
If you've ordered both shirts and stickers, I'll ship your stickers along with your shirts after the pre-order deadline (Nov 9th) and all shirts are printed.
Thanks again!!!

Everything over the cost to actually produce the shirts + $1 (the shop isn't making any money from this in order to keep production cost low, increase the amount available for donation and offer free shipping. That buck per shirt will go to me for the time it will take to print them, pack them and ship them...which I think is more than fair considering the amount of work involved) will be donated.
A lot of folks have offered suggestions as to where to make the donation and Harris has yet to respond with a list, but I'm fairly certain that MassBike will be the one to get it.

As stated before, I'm obviously not doing this to make any kind of huge money (the printshop does enough business these days) or to sell a "product". I'm doing this simply to get a cool shirt out there to people who share one of the same passions as I do and it's so rad that so many of you have responded as you have.

Very admirable of you. A great project and a great cause. Can't count how many times I've consulted Mr. Brown's website for information. It would have been very special to have met him in person.

Thanks, man. I've made use of his site about a million times too and sometimes read his page(s) just for the hell of it. I wish I could have met him as well, especially seeing that he lived only a few towns away. We could have compared beards!

Noobert - it can be ordered in black too. I'm the same way, clean white shirts last about 10 minutes with me.
Adriano - one of the few and the proud to sport the original prototype!

Just to let everyone know - because of a heavy workload at the shop this coming week, I may not get time to print these Sheldon Brown shirts until later in the week so I've decided to extend the initial pre-order period until the 12th. Stickers arrived at my shop this morning but I'm out doing family-type stuff today and may not get my hands on them until Monday.
Thanks again everyone.
5 more days to order. Spread the word!

72 individual orders so far but many of them are for multiple shirts & stickers. The mention on UrbanVelo tonight definitely helped because I've had a burst of steady orders coming in ever since!
