...you'll be getting an e-mail from me soon to send you a little care package, as a token of our appreciation for being awesome and making this site a success! Inside the little blue box of wonders we're gonna send you, you'll find:

STICKERS!!!!!!!!

I should be in touch early next week with. Be sure to fill out the form as soon as you're able to do so — you'll have two weeks to do it, after which this stuff will be shipped your way! I could try to offer a precise prediction for when these will arrive at your doorstep, but we all know what 6 to 8 weeks means around these parts.

If you're not on the list, don't worry too much about it — we've got some extra swag in our swag vaults we can send to you for events and such.

Thanks to all of you for making this site great!

    Does this mean I have to find out my t-shirt size, moreover in some American system? I really need to make Clothes.SE a thing to help me handle such challenges.

    I second @Wrzlprmft; any chance of getting the t-shirt sizing as given by the manufacturer?

    “for having helped this site grow healthily 'till it reached graduation.” – Actually, when the site graduated, I had 172 reputation.

    A minor complaint about the t-shirt design: the text reads only "academia", not "academia.stackexchange.com"; so it could be mistaken for a shirt recommending academia.edu, a quite controversial "academic social network". This association is a bit unfortunate. Please take this only as a suggestion for the future; I am not complaining about this welcome present; I thank you warmly for it.

    @FedericoPoloni: I'm not sure most people will connect the shirt with any website at all unless they recognize the logo. The first time I wore my Stack Exchange shirt in public, someone asked if it had something to do with Wall Street. :-) Hopefully people seeing you in your shirt will either already be familiar with this site or just assume you are really excited about higher education.

    @JonEricson I work in a university in Italy; the English word "academia" is not commonplace there, and I am afraid that most of my colleagues will associate it to the spam mail they got from academia.edu as their first thought. Anyway, I realize that it is probably too late to suggest a change of design. I will test if my prediction is accurate by wearing the t-shirt and seeing the reaction of my colleagues. :)
