Xilinx Tshirts in football package.....

I just got one of these Xilinx V4 tshirts that must have been vacuumed
sealed into a small package in the shape of a football.  It was so
small I thought it was a notepad.  Well- I opened this thing up- and
it was more wrinkled than prune.  It seriously looks damaged it was
crinkled up so tight.

I haven't tried washing it yet.  Has anyone managed to get all the
wrinkles out?

Forgive me for asking, but if you object to wearing a free, wrinkled
T-shirt, are you absolutely certain you're an engineer?

That's priceless - deserves to be printed and framed!

Printed on a T-shirt, I am not sure about framing of shirts.

I got an Altera Excalibur one at a seminar, compressed into a small cube. 
The wrinkles came out after I'd worn it (wrinkles and all) and washed it.

It is okay after you wash it twice.

I love it!

The hard part isn't getting the wrinkles out: the hard part is folding it
back into the football shape!
