Are T-Shirts a Core Competency?

May 16 2006

My wife bought me a T-shirt the other day. I think she forgot that I've been adding about two new SWA T-shirts a month to my collection. (Who started this madness anyway?) SWA_Herbwrestle2.jpgThrow in the occasional giveaway blood donor T-shirt and an assortment of slogan shirts starting or ending with "Aggie Dad" to the mix, and my closet rivals any "T-Shirts R US" kiosk in the mall. But when I saw my new T-shirt, I instantly knew why she found it irresistible. Four simple words across the front--Will Work for Fun. Yep. That pretty much sums it up for me.

Hey Jeff,

I am a T-Shirt addict as well. About once a year I go through my T-Shirt drawer and pull out all of the SWA shirts that I have not worn the in the past year. I can't tell you how many bags of T-shirts that I have stored in my garage. I just can't seem to throw them out. Sometimes I go and look at them and it gives me a visual timeline of my life at SWA. I still have the 1st anniversary shirt from 1996 when the Oklahoma City Reservations center turned 1. We turned 10 last year. I actually still wear the 25th anniversary (Wendy's table) shirt because I get a kick out of it seeing peoples reactions. There have been some industrious and creative people here who have turend theirs into quilts. I am not that crafty. I can tell you that without a doubt my favorite reads "Marry Me, Fly for Free."

Yup...wearing a new "DING" t-shirt today, as a matter of fact!

I love that Jeff! Any chance you can tell us where she got it? Wish we'd thought of it first.

Robin, I'm saving mine to have made into a quilt.

She got it at Dillards...I hope you find one.

It must be funny to see strangers glance at your shirt and then laugh.

Glenn, you are free to "use" whatever you want from my blog, but my t-shirt collection is not for sale!

Marry me...Fly for free! I luv that! We are currently using t-shirts in some locations that say "Work with me....fly for free". I like the earlier version even better.
