One working circuit idea: I just was researching the TI ALU that some mini computers used prior to microprocesses, 74S181. It was pretty influential. The logic diagram could work as a graphic to wear: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-logic-diagram-of-the-74LS181-ALU-IC_... However, I like the war games theme a lot, and probably is easier to make a catchy shirt from. Or continue the education theme and mashup some subjects like Oregon trail, LOGO, PLATO.

A shirt that is a working circuit actual schematic would be kind of cool. Obviously it would have to be something simply, but maybe a 4004 chip or 6502 chip Bill

I'm starting the process for ideas and a design for this year's t-shirt. If anyone has any ideas that they want to throw to us, then please do so by replying to this email either publicly or privately.
Keep in mind that we may not use your idea, so don't feel disappointed if we choose another.
One t-shirt that was really popular was the "dragon" t-shirt which had the IBM 5150 running Adventure and a dragon on the side. Perhaps a similar iconic creature would be popular with people.
Thanks!
