Fresh from FOSDEM, we have a new shirt design at the KiCad store shop.kicad.org/products/bob...

Make sure that you know all your different kinds of FETs.
Tan colored t-shirt with three red schematic symbols on the front. On the left, there is a JFET symbol with the word "JFET" in green underneath. In the middle, there is a MOSFET symbol with the word "MOSFET" in green underneath. On the right, there is a symbol that looks like it might be a FET symbol except that it has a thick 'T' where the gate connection would be making the symbol look like the helmet of Boba Fett from Star Wars. Underneath in the word "BOBAFET"
