I may have to wait for a nice day to get a shot of me with the skyline as the backdrop, that would be so meta.

Two designs that are c-train related would be to put the "push to open door" illuminated sign thingy from the old U2 cars. Very retro and very Calgary and Edmonton. I got to ride on a U2 in Frankfurt and I was instantly reminded of home, although the U2s originated there anyway.

Another would be that metal emblem in the old U2 cars that the manufacturer put on the doors. I can't remember the design or the wording, but it was basically a brass-looking stamp that they put on the inside of the doors that said where it was made (obviously somewhere in Germany). Some of the transit geeks (I use the term affectionately) might be able to better explain it.

I like the idea of your shirts though, and I won't ruling out ordering one or two!

My vote's for a hare-related shirt. I'd buy at least five.

Yes! That's the one. Thanks for posting that. Perhaps a little obscure for a shirt, but those who understand it will think that they're pretty clever.

I want a girl that would steal a YYC shirt!

I doubt the post office in Turner Valley will be open on Boxing day, so I might have to wait until Jan. 4th to get mine.

Wigs: Are the shirts form fitting or more of a loose fit? Thinking about getting one, but not sure what size :-)

They are not fitted so I would say just like your typical T-shirt. The brand is Gildan so if you have a shirt in your closet with a Gildan tag you'll know the fit.

EDIT: Here's a sizing chart I found for the Men's T-shirts we use

Just got mine this morning (I'm sure they arrived sooner, but I was in Phoenix until last night). I plan on wearing my purple YYC shirt in YYC tomorrow for my flight to St. John's.
