I was thinking about
text⇥
That looks a bit like a “text, but better” (without BB :P), just like C++ is C, but incremented.
Of course, it's a bit visually unbalanced. But still better in my mind than “textmate”, plain and simple.
I'd say : “textmate” pros : - the T-shirt has the product name on it, so every one has at least a slight idea of what it is about - visually balanced (I like the bold text/not bold mate)
“textmate” cons : - it probably won't trigger anything other people (even geeks). No surprise, no question, no nothing. Actually, I find it little boring.
“text⇥” pros : - shows a feature of our favorite editor - can catch the geek (well, isn't a vast majority of the mate users geeks?) attention and curiosity. Every single one must know about tab completion.
“text⇥” cons : - other people probably won't be attracted, and it doesn't contain the app name, thus making it hard to discover TM - visually unbalanced

Well, I wouldn't wear the first one, but it seems to be popular, so I'm afraid I'l have to wear something else. Still, for the color, I'd prefer a entirely purple one. While I'm at it, is it possible to get a drawing as complex as the TM icon on a T-shirt? At least, without making it awfully expensive? Perhaps we should mind the possibility of purple (not black) and white or at least avoid gradation.

Agree, although I still like just TextMate as opposed to Text ⇥ Mate. That said I could go for the logo & app name on the front and just a small simple:
⇥on the back between the shoulder blades.
That could be nice. Very understated for sure. "wittySlogan⇥" would be funny, but less clean and simple ;)
