I wanted to purchase a bunch of bright-colored t-shirts in an uncommon color so that when we took my 8-year-old son to the Revolution soccer match with his friends, we would be able to spot an errant child.

I did a lot of hunting to find cheap shirts in the right color (fluorescent would have been a litttle better) and I ended up with these. The first batch I received was too small. There was a discrepancy in the size chart. The vendor was exceptionally speedy in sending a new batch. When I finally returned the first batch, I was promptly credited.

The kids each got to keep their shirt. I thought about personalizing them with a soccer ball and/or "Liam's 8th Birthday Party," but then I thought other kids in his class might feel bad that they didn't get invited.

My son still wears the T on occasion. The color isn't great on his skin tone, but he likes the memory.
