most t-shirts are for one-off events anyway, and while they're good for memories, really? do we need that many t-shirts? kind of wasteful.
of course the craftier among us can reuse the cloth to create awesome individualized clothing...
but another solution might be the t-shirt printer (DIY Direct-to-garment:

combined with a soluble ink of some kind. Most t-shirt inks are designed with permanence in mind (to prevent fading with repeated washing). And the erasability of the ink has to be balanced against not wanting the ink to come out during a hot summer day (heat + sweat or rain). Ideally it would come off in ordinary washing machines, and it wouldn't stain other clothing when it washed off.
