Team-wear

Here's my suggestion for a sweatshirt (I thought that since our training will be mostly cold weather, a sweatshirt would be a better choice than a t-shirt.) I'm going for the understated, corporate look here. The idea is instead of having people screaming and running away in panic, to have them come up to you and say, "Oh! So you're with the Borg Collective." the way they might say "When did you join Pricewaterhouse?"
This is a 90% cotton Hanes piece--$26-$28 shipped depending on how many people we get to buy. For those who want to offer other ideas, I recommend Uberprints or Customink. Both have a good selection of different items that we might want to consider, including hoodies, wicking gaments, windshirts, etc. and excellent on-line design tools to imagine something really first rate.

Proud to be part of the Coalective

I like the team name even more now that I see the 20 or so other team names already registered at the marathon site. "The Borg" absolutely destroys "Monkey Business" or "Team Golden" or any of that other nonsense in there. one of nine was wise to turn password protection on. I can see that alien runners, nominal members of "Beers4Life" or some such, will probably try to register as one of the Borg when a full realization of the crippling lameness of their own team's name strikes them.
