I have to Agree with TP on this one....
Cost too much for him with little hope of a return.
Think of this as a start-up business....
Cash is key.
I think the numbers TP has guestimated are probably correct if not low.
Every 2-3000 people see the shirt, maybe 10 will join the forum, and from that maybe 1 would sign up through a link.
Of course it all depends on the personality of the shirt-wearer also.

I would spam the hell out of rec-poker for a while simply because that's all it seems to be there for... Spam.

Once we get a regular tourney going at Stars or where-ever (Absolute may be a good idea too), then people will see the private tourney and check out the site.

From there word of mouth and the almighty internet will get the numbers up...

Realisticly, TP needs approx 1500-1800 members to start making a steady profit.

Unfortunately, With Cash being Key, I don't see a way to attract that many members without continuing the pay-to-post and TP subsequently going broke, other than private tourneys.
Stars would be better because of the larger player base that may see them and check the site out.

Back to the point I wanted to make when I started typing:
Yeah I'd buy a shirt, Why not? $20-25 for a nice golf shirt with a little logo on the breast would be fine.... Would I wear it to the Casino? Considering I don't go regularly... maybe once or twice, but not often enough to have much of an impact on this site. Maybe some of the homegames I go to I'd wear it once in a while too, that would most likely generate more interest.

We'll see what happens.
