Cool! This reminds me of Shirt.Woot so much. I like the subscription idea mostly because I like to get things without realizing I'm getting them.

Same here! Glad you like it. Would love any feedback you have on what could make it better.

I'm trying to figure out how you managed to get matte outlines on your transparent PNGs. This is making the logos hard to read and the t-shirt illustration edges look cheap. If you're not sure how to remedy this, I'd suggest using a solid background, particularly when you know you'll be using logos.

I'm also more interested in seeing bigger photos of the actual shirts+swag produced rather than thumbnails and illustrations. They look well-made and do more to sell me than the rest of your site.

A couple of notes on the home page:

Many of the images look terrible. The worst are the ones in the (1) (2) (3) section when you mouse over them -- look at the text most of all -- but the Dwolla t-shirt, your logo, and the other logos at the bottom are also not very nice looking.

The background coming through when you mouse over (1) is not the same size as when you mouse over (2) or (3).

Looking at FAQ quickly, I see "You can see some of the past shirts [here] and subscribe to the service [here]". Why not "See some of the [past shirts] and [subscribe to Startup Threads]"?

On the signup page, the shipping section looks odd. The line breaks, plus the use of the colon as a separator for two different things makes it hard to parse.

Overall it looks like it could use some polish.
