Damn, I had somehow assumed I’d still get a tribesport 25 t-shirt in February. Hey ho.

Yes, those miserable sods, who watched everyone around them at their parkrun wearing 50, 100, 250 t-shirts to show that they are a "special" part of the family but who can't amass one themselves in the same sort of time-frame because people with 50, 100, 250 t-shirts are waiting on the poor sod with no t-shirt to put on a run for them.
Gits.

I know it was partly in jest Saint but that idea of being able to increment your runs on your t-shirt isn't that bonkers as a marketing idea. On the basis that its always good when someone else funds your hobby, I'd be delighted if a ton of parkrun enthusiasts bought into that idea and helped to keep parkrun free at the point of use!

I do think you're a bit harsh on the volunteer one Gobi. I know you shouldn't *need* recognition for volunteering, but then neither should you need it for running 50 / 100 / 250 parkruns.
Some people will wear all brands of parkrun t-shirts with a "look at me, I'm great" point of view. But as someone who rarely volunteers (and feels a tad guilty about it - something I can sort out readily enough) the fact that I can see which people have given up nearly half a year of Saturday mornings to support me running is actually a good thing.

I'm not a fan of the Tribesports gear at all. I do have an apricot vest which I wear sometimes for tourism but I've never worn my 50 T (though that's partly because I hate Ts too...) and the volunteer one may have been worn once.
My old workplace gave our parkrun £250 in recognition of the time I put in volunteering. Which was nice.

I have a tribesports green one if anybody wants it - medium I think ( will have to check tonight ) - worn twice. I am sure someone out there would get more use out of it than I do.
