Here is the mock-up of the t-shirt.

The shirts look pretty darn good. Though... this is what I would suggest:
 
Why not put that logo in the front where the EVGA logo is and on the back you put the list of cards and waiting times, y'know, the one you always post every weekday. To me at least that block of text containing the cards with the timestamps is the most iconic thing you can put and will serve as not only a quick memory of such an event but also help explain to others what the thing was about. Maybe put some info saying "X card moved .03 seconds today", or, "after waiting x months I finally got X card". But it looks fine as it is too. :)
 
You making face masks btw?

Clearly I am not very original. Once of my earlier design ideas via a very ROUGH mock-up was the following...at the time I didn't have photoshop handy so was using Microsoft paint and not able to appropriately layer assets...(suboptimal).
 

 
I had a lot of other ideas...some good and others no so good.  There was a thought about salt mines and the distinctive "auto-notify" button...and definitely some ideation around s'mores, among other randomness.  Both were abandoned (by me) for being too "inside EVGA Forums".
 
And maybe the best kernel of an idea didn't come to me until after the design was locked....  Given that we are on version 2.1 of the Queue, maybe there will be an opportunity for a second shirt (and I won't miss the opportunity a second time).

So my desire to remove myself from the highs and lows of the forum have run up hard against how boring my job is and how much down time I get.
enewt, I wish you could wave your wand and make this all better, if only to avoid me turning into a very angry wabbit with sharp and pointy teeth.

Admit it...you just cannot quit us...we complete you.

The problem isn't that this is a bad setup, it's that they did it after a year of the system being in place, with no warning. The only way this would have been okay is they had done it for purchases after implementation, period. That way anyone that was in the screwed situation that hundreds of people have posted about being in could be like OKAY I'm passing on any card that isn't my KP or 3080ti Hybrid or w/e, relatives can bugger off and figure it out for themselves.
 

This.  Exactly this. 
The people who like the change think we should all be grateful that we are forced to settle, because they think this will help them get a card.

its about time EVGA did this it was unfair and im glad they came to their senses.to think anyone would think its fair
to take the cards away from those who have been in queue much longer,your wrong.doesnt matter when they decided to
do it.it needed to be done..period !!! 
@toyboarder you think people using the step up doesnt hurt them ? really come on.
@enewt ...it is fair,this should have been implemented along time ago anyone with an ounce of
common sense can see that.
 
some people are mad because they cant cut the line boo hoo.

Are you suggesting that I don't think today's announcement is fair?  I am confused.

So maybe I missed it, as it was about 6:30am when I read the update, but say we're an associate who could not use enewts code lol. How would one get a shirt?

I think they will be able to purchase, if I read enewt's post correctly...

Everyone,

As we continue to monitor the queue to get cards to gamers sooner, we appreciate all the feedback to help us to improve the queue system.

Due to the overwhelming demand for the 30 Series Products, our first step was to close the notify queue until we can fulfill them. Management team then took an extra step to prioritize those that have not received a card versus others who have been able to get multiple GPU’s.

After reading the feedback, there were legitimate concerns about retroactively changing the queue function. We are sorry for any frustration this caused, this was not the company’s intention. Today we are going to make the following updates:

1.    The queue system will be rolled back to the previous rule.

• Anyone who missed a card from Monday, October 4th, will be notified on the next release.
• EVGA will continue to send notifies through October 8th.

2.    In order to get cards to gamers sooner, please go to the notify page at https://www.evga.com/community/myNotifies.asp and keep only the top two cards selected that you would like to purchase, and remove the others.

• On October 11th, 2021, the system will only lookup and send notifies based on your two oldest entries.
• Going forward, the queue system will only allow for two 30 Series notifies on the current lineup.
• EVGA strongly suggests to keep the FTW3 ULTRA or XC3 ULTRA models due to consistent supply compared to limited supply on K|NGP|N, HYDRO COPPER and HYBRID due to supply constraints.
• EVGA is also going to be adding SMS verification to the checkout process for all notifications to catch bot orders.

3.    The queue system will not be turned back on until the current queues are fulfilled.
4.    The checkout window is 20 hours from the time of notification released.

EVGA appreciates your feedback to continue improving the queue system to deliver 30 Series cards into as many gamers hands as possible.

Thanks
EVGA
