There is definitely the letter 'I' in that team! Like it!
"I" as in "I am" part of the Team, so it's a Team with me " I " as part of it.
am i making any sense?! :)
Hello,
The first iteration of this clever design is from November 15th, 2010. So it seems that it was Hunson Nguyen who came up with this. His website seems broken at the moment, but you can see this design (and the date) here: http://hunsonisgroovy.com/archive/2010/11
Several sites re-posted this design on November 16th, 2010, including vi.sualize.us: http://vi.sualize.us/view/75d48f89bc6ca4e22b1d493b29a43edc/
Then the t-shirts, bags, posters, etc. started to appear in the following months.

Thanks! Great info.
Hello,
Today I saw this design again and did some more web-digging... The last time I checked, Google ignored the creation date of the real first page that showed this design (because of comments). With a little help of TheWayBackMachine, I have now found that the original designer is Jaco Haasbroek. He submitted this design to threadless.com on September 10th, 2010.

Then, on November 15th, 2010, it got selected to be printed, that's when the other guy saw it and posted it on his blog... The problem is that when comments started pouring on the threadless.com pages, they mislead Google for the creation/modification date on those pages. This in turn, reduce the effectiveness of my "let's find the first iteration" search leading me to believe that the t-shirts came way after...
