That's a linux camouflage t-shirt, right? One we can wear at any geek conference and nobody will notice we are there. I do beg your pardon for dismissing this design, but without honest criticism it won't improve, and I'd love to see you design something that we print and ship all around the world. This design is a variation of the existing ones we have. So I do have a wardrobe full of SUSE, Novell, openSUSE, KDE, Qt, and associated companies' free t-shirts, and I'm probably jaded. My wife hides most of the shirts I bring home as soon as she can to stop me wearing them. If I were designing a t-shirt, I'd aim for something which *) is recognisably openSUSE *) would make people think 'I want one of those' and 'I want to hang out with openSUSE, they must be cool because they have cool t-shirts'. If you can, go to a Free Software event and spend a bit of time people watching. Which are the projects who look like A N Other FLOSS Project and which are the ones you remember? Then go down the high street and see what the expensive t-shirts in the shops look like, and produce an openSUSE pastiche. There's no shame in doing that, it's what H&M etc are doing to the brands that employ good designers do - it's what Gnokii's designs do to Stüssy circa 1994 :P.
