Also - please all be aware that the shirts are not all unisex. Some of the shirts are 'women's' sizes. They are cut differently to fit women. You'll notice those by the shorter sleeves.
The women's size shirts run smaller than the unisex shirts.
Examples of the sizing differences:
Women's tee sizes: http://www.tultex.net/storage/specs-sheets/0213TC_Style_Sheet.pdf
Unisex tee sizes: http://www.tultex.net/storage/specs-sheets/0202TC_Style_Sheet.pdf
Hope that helps - if the shirts don't say 'womens' or 'ladies' on the tags, then check them against the regular unisex shirts and you will definitely see the difference.
Sorry for the confusion - I should have mentioned this earlier.

I agree with Lodewijk. Some of the t-shirts' sizes we've received in the Kenya package do not match with the labelled size.

when handing out these t-shirts, be careful. A quick look suggested that the labels do not /always/ represent the actual size. (might be an exception). I found at least one case where the S was larger than the M :)

Nice! Thanks for the photos Neal. Mind if upload them to Commons for Category:Wikipedia 10?
How fun, I guess folks like the idea :)
The files are on commons now:

(I welcome tips on the finer points of Commons. One tip from me: seems like I should have added a newline at the end of the "other information" field of the wizard or something. As it was, I ended up with "==Licensing==" on the end of the last line, where it didn't work.)
For what its worth, this was the t-shirt selection we got (50 in all):
Globe & Wikipedia in many languages: Blue 2 S 3 M 10 L 4 XL 2 XXL
WP 10: Olive Green + yellow writing 11 S 3 M
WP 10: Olive Green + green writing 6 L 6 XL 3 XXL
