Second of all, thanks for your contribution and the idea, Grégory, but I don't really like it due to the high costs (as others have already mentioned). I can make a php website to sell the t-shirts if needed, that means we also don't need that part of the shop. Maybe selling them on ebay is a possible as well, but we can talk about that later. One more thing is that fotl and that kind of branches let their employers work and live in very poor conditions, it's not ethically responsible to buy from them (I already said something about that in my first mail). Don't let these negative reactions discourage you to make another post to this list, it's always good to have another point of view as well. Another solution to solve the money problem is to do an advance sale (I don't know if you are interested, but I will buy a couple of t-shirts anyway).

It’s not 100% sure yet the t-shirts will be printed, but a good design will help to make it easier to decide. The biggest question we’ve got is where to get the money to buy the t-shirts. It will cost us about €600 to buy 100, and that’s a lot of money. We are quite sure t-shirts at a good price with a good design will sell, definitely if we promote them a bit, but we have to pay them first. If you’ve got some ideas let us know!
