Although this is a tech blog and I normally write about tech stuff, I’m also an affiliate and recently came across something I felt worthwhile to take part in. Affiliate.com, known for their stylish branded shirts they give away at the affiliate conferences, is holding a contest. They gave away some pretty cool shirts this year (just like last year), and they asked bloggers to write a creative post about the shirt for a chance at some money. They’re giving $1,000 to the winning blogger, but more importantly, they are going to donate another $1,000 to the Red Cross for Haiti in the winning blogger’s name. Win or lose, I’m pretty happy to see the donation that will take place, but I wanted to give it a shot, too. Affiliate.com mailed me out a t-shirt and I decided to run with the poker theme, playing against, well, myself.
As you can see above, I was doing pretty well with four Aces. Those other Joe Techs never knew what hit ‘em. In all seriousness, I’m definitely wearing this shirt to my next poker game.
About The Affiliate.com Shirt
The shirt they sent out this year is really comfortable (100% cotton), but what stands out is the design. I have a lot of conference and affiliate company shirts and I like most of them a lot, but this one is my new favorite. The edges are frayed slightly for that popular worn-in look. The front design looks like a King of Diamonds and the back is branded, but in a very tasteful way. I will be wearing this shirt out a lot. For a better view, take a look at my little fashion shoot below (and feel free to poke fun at me in the comments).

I can’t say enough how awesome it is that they’re donating the money for Haiti and even if I don’t win, I’ve gotten a really nice t-shirt out of the experience. However, I’d also love to win. If you think I should win the contest let me know in the comments by telling me what you think I should do with the $1,000 prize.
