It was all in there, only the browser's view was too small. :-)
Here's my quick and dirty test balloon:
http://noone.org/tmp/DC13_T-shirts_design3.2.svg
(Not sure how to make those thumbnails like in the wiki. Any hints
appreciated.)
Changes in there:
* White text "DebConf13" on the front of the red shirt. I prefer that
variant.
* White text "DebConf13" on the front of the gray shirt. Not sure if
that's really better.
* Changed the overlong "Debian Conference 2013" to "DebConf 2013" on
all backs.

Granted.

Nevertheless I still think "Debian Conference 2013" is far too long
for a single line. Maybe two lines? But then again, both,
Debian Conference Debian
2013 Conference 2013
don't look nice to me either. Meh.
Kind regards, Axel
