I would feel uncomfortable collecting money for a shirt people didn't order.
And I can see Renee's point with not wanting other families to feel like their
team dues are used to buy shirts for some kids but not all the kids.
This is a grey area, and I'm not sure what to do. Maybe in future years we can
wear our regular team shirt to state and not do state shirts? There is such a
small window of time to order them that we don't have a chance to ask parents,
and we will always have an extra rush fee.
