I have no dupes. I always gave them away when
I got them. The last system was bought about
3 years ago, so all the shirts are well worn.
I'd say almost EVERY T-Shirt I wear is a Linux,
Unix, or hardware product. Years of going to
PC-Expo, Unix Expo, etc.
My favorites were the Digital Alpha Cheetah shirts
and the Veritas shirt:
"The Server is down and the boss wants to see you"

"Be afraid. Be very afraid."
That shirt saved my job.
Really.
I was at a company picnic. Had been an employee
about 1.5 years. I was at the snack table, standing
next to an owner who I had never met, but I knew
by reputation. Major hard-ass, fire people in a blink.
He was the #2 owner, and in charge of mainframe
technology, which means my very existance annoyed him
since he considered anything I bought a duplicate of
something he already spent money on.
Me (to the food person): Ooooh oooooh. Cotton Candy!
I love cotton candy, Gimme some!!
Him: What have so done do DESERVE cotton candy?!
Me (note, obviously my anticipated sugar rush destroyed
my ability to think) : Put up with your company!
I had just wandered into the "you are about to get your
ass fired zone".
He did a doubletake. NOBODY speaks to him like that.
Especially not some expensive yet low end geek. He stared
at me and noticed my T-shirt, and read it out loud.
"The Server is down and the boss wants to see you"

"Be afraid. Be very afraid."
And then looked back at my face. I said something along
the lines that the systems were not ALLOWED to go down
and I lived by the T-shirts philosophy.
He smiled (a strange and dangerous smile) and let me
have my cotton candy.
