During this incredibly sloooow season I have been reviewing my UConn T’s and find I must retire about 4 fading ones. I now will have less than a months worth. I suppose I could wear my Margaritaville T’s.

Is there a prescribed T retirement ceremony? Boy, I feel as though I am fading some days too. Glad my wife hasn't "retired" me as you seem wont to do. ;)

I have a few camp t-shirts from the late 1980s... that I havent worn since the late 1980s... I think I have them around somewhere stored away for posterity. With modern technology of moisture wicking fabric.... t-shirts last alot longer and can go through much more than they used to. I have avoided buying cotton t-shirts for the past decade, with one exception.

Don't they say the first thing to go as you age is your memory??? :oops::oops: I just bought a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt a few weeks ago and plan on buying another one soon. Head bang I did buy one of those Charged Cotton T-shirts from Under Armour a few years ago... but it doesnt quite fit like it did when I purchased it so I havent worn it in awhile. :(

You could always take the ones at the end of the rotation and have them made into a quilt...

I’ve done a few for people, but this company is pretty darn affordable.

We have had several made by them and they are fast, too. Just organize now- Christmas time is busy.

When I retire older T-s, they will no longer be worn outdoors, they get a second "life" lounging indoors.
My Sister-in-law did this with UCONN WBB Championship Ts... it turned out great, and they are very proud of it. No one is allowed to use it so it won't get dirty.
