Not sure if this goes here, but I couldn't find any other place for it.
Are the winner's shirts going to be restocked at any point? This is the second year in a row that I haven't had the money to buy a shirt prior to finishing my novel, only to discover upon completion that, if I want one, I have to buy a ridiculously large size or a ladies one, which always seems to be a different color.
I could have sworn that I read something about one restock.
I guess then that my suggestion is that they carry more of the sizes that seem to run out first every year (namely unisex small to x-large). It's extremely disappointing when you work an entire month to hit 50,000 words only to discover that, because you didn't get paid until after the 1st, you can't get a shirt.

We just held an endless sale of the t-shirts about a week ago for those popular sizes. We try to accomodate demand, but it's a little hard to gauge popularity, sometimes. It's a bit of an art... each year sales are a bit different. We have to try to balance "enough for as many people as possible" with "let's not get stuck with backstock for the next decade" - it's a hard wire to walk on!
I know, I didn't have money at the time. Of course, I later found out that everyone on Facebook would have bought me one if I'd asked, but the two sizes I could've gotten were already out by then.
I think that if it went through, it would have done so already; we don't generally reorder last years' shirts after the calendar rolls over to the new year. You can contact the store directly (store@nanowrimo.org) to ask for certain though, as we don't have access to store data.

Re: Winner Shirt Restock?
I think there's usually only a set amount that go on sale - like a limited edition type of thing.

Re: Winner Shirt Restock?
Yes, there's a restock coming. :)
Re: Winner Shirt Restock?
Yay! Thanks!
Re: Winner Shirt Restock?
Any news on the restock or did I miss it?
