While in high school, my son was on the cross-country and track/field teams. They were constantly getting t-shirts from different meets in competition. I cut out the logo or race name from the t-shirt, shaped it to a block size, added shashing, batting, and backing. I guess the theme could vary to fit any sport(s) or clubs the student participates in. My son was also big into music and competed in different symposiums. There was a new t-shirt for each event. Unlike the running/sports t-shirts, the music ones were always so very colorful. Although not as many shirts to cut for blocks, improvisation came into play and blocks of coordinating colors from the fabric shop supplemented to balance the look. Good luck with your project! :) :) :)
