 The community team should consider awarding volunteers with socks instead
 of t-shirts. Socks are much better for at least 3 reasons:
 1. They are a symbolic reference to SOCKS (obviously)
 2. They can be worn in a much more clandestine fashion, which corresponds
 to the way Tor users browse the internet
 3. They are smaller, so easier to transport (and cheaper)

 They could be provided in various colour, like t-shirts are now - classic
 black, Tor green and Tor purple, all with Tor onion logo, would be solid
 choices.

 I suggest providing them in sets of two pairs (4 individual sock pieces)
 to represent SOCKS4a. Better yet, they could be provided as 5 individual
 sock pieces in order to represent SOCKS5 and as a workaround to the common
 and dreaded missing sock problem. It could also be considered to provide
 them as three pairs (6 individual sock pieces, possibly each pair in
 different colour) in anticipation of a breakthrough in SOCKS technology
 and the introduction of SOCKS6.
