Right now we have the Cafepress shop for T-shirts

general the quality of the products that Cafepress produce is pretty
low. I am told that whilst gentoo has a shop there, the conference
organisers actually use a seperate company to produce much the same
thing for the conferences due to the lack of quality described. While
I haven't bought any T-shirts from them thus far, other things I have
bought have been of similar poor quality.
Last time I checked, Vishal was comparing multiple alternatives. This
likely doesn't have any priority right now as the revenue from
merchandising tends to be comparatively small.
There is also the proposition from the branding company. If we sign a
deal with them, it would be within their role to find a more suitable
(if more suitable there is) company for tee-shirt printing I guess.
I agree it is not a priority from a "revenue" point of view; This said,
from a consumer point of view, the quality is a little bit more
important than "revenue" :-)
If tee-shirts do not bring significant revenue, then the quality is a
priority over revenue... Exploring options to change tee-shirt providers
and taking primarily into account revenue as a variable is, imho, a
mistake. Tee-shirts are not done to bring money, but mostly because it
is fun and team building.

I'm fairly happy with everything I've
purchased through CP, but I'm
probably about 20 degrees removed from a person who could give an
informed opinion about such matters. That said, mere rumors and
personal anecdotes are not particularly compelling. I'd like to hear
some more substantive criticisms than "poor quality", preferably a
comparison of multiple vendors published in a reliable source. If it's
not sufficiently sourced by Wikipedia's standards of inclusion, it's
not enough to base a decision on. ;-)
