I did order my shirt w/ number and from them- without the advertising/limited opportunity. The shirt I got from my all in order didn't say "original" I respect your opinion, but I'm beginning to believe your defense and protection of the company might have a secondary agenda, I don't think "it's very nice" that they are doing us a favor allowing us to purchase their "promotional" tee- I'm honored to be part of the history we will be making, but insulted by this "LIMITED" "SPECIAL" offer- Perhaps if wearing it could get me on a special line to see the car...........
I have the benefit of nearly a year of experience with following Elio Motors and watching them run a series of special promotions which include special t-shirts. These special promotions run alongside the standard reservations and are accessible via special web links to separate areas of the Elio web site. The current special shirt is white and says 'Genuine' but has the same overall style as the black 'Original' shirt and I am sure the white "Genuine' shirt will be available to reservation holders when this promotion is over just like all the others have.
