I agree. It has nothing to do with winning the t-shirts but everything to do with the image and impression that you create. I feel the same about a bank that gives you an awful pen. It isn't the fact that the pen is a piece of garbage, yet, I pulled out of a bank today that I normally don't do business with and it was a nice pen. I took notice. Marketing and image. Most of these lacrosse guys aren't good business men and they succeed despite themselves. Basic business concepts elude them. If you are that cheap with your shirts the impression you create is that you care more about the bottom line and where else are you cutting corners.... unqualified referees, insufficient medical support staff, no water and gatorade next to each field, unsuitable playing surfaces, unfriendly technology etc.
