​I like the hoodies,
but I would _also_ go for the polo shirts too when the time comes.
​Stickers and/or patches are cool too.​

FYI,
This may have not been mentioned here before. But this time around I made
the logo in 3D cad. So all of the features are intact, such as the keycaps,
the raised lettering, the raised pcb wreath and terminal as well.

So if there is interest and the patience, you can just take the file, find
somebody with a 3D printer over there and make full size medallions - what
ever size you want from little coin sized versions to one big enough to
hang on a wall. The only issue with this is that since the logo is 3
colors, black, white, and the blueish-green, you would have to paint them.
I do this sometimes for small models, eg, DnD.

But I don't have the strength to paint several dozens of them - you'll need
some youngster who's good at painting. I would suggest using a filament
with blue-green -- because then it's easy to paint the black background,
the white keycaps, and black letters -- in that order. There's less paint
bleeding this way.

The other alternative is to 3D Print the parts separately in the their own
colors. But this would take a large amount of time to glue the parts, the
keycaps, the wreath, and letters on the medallion. This of course
eliminates the large amount painting time. But now I see there's new 3D
Printers with dual filament, triple and multi-color filament extruders --
so changing filament colors in mid process is practical now-- that's
another way to eliminate the painting steps.
just something to be different
