Here's a suggestion (although somewhat tongue in cheek)
The mention of "community" and not apple keeping the Newton alive...
The Newton lightbulb logo rising out of a steaming plate of poutine!

Grant,
Cafe press was just the example that came to mind, I've seen at least one other site offering services like them but I can't remember their name but I can dig through my bookmarks to see if I can find it if you'd like to check them out? (the site had some cool shirts created by fans of the Firefly series). As to quality, I can't comment as I've never bought anything from any site with that type of service.
My 2 cents on color/design:
I like the idea of black, dark green or grey shirts. I don't really like the idea of an apple company logo. Since the newt has been kept alive and more recently saved by the community not apple* I'd just like to represent NewtonTalk and everyone in this great community..... I think one of the designs should include at least a small "inside joke" reference to the newt cheating its 2010 death.
Just my 2 cents though.

*please note that I'm still sore at apple not only for the lack of a real newt successor but also for killing off all G3 support in 10.5. My Ibook is ONLY 7.5 years old and still works great :-) except that pesky 10.5 issue. Flashy graphics isn't required for good system software ( example: System 6). Little OT but thanks for listening :-D

Details will follow shortly, but I will confirm that there will be
several designs, shirt styles, sizes, and colours made available. Plus
buttons.

Cafe Press is not one of the companies being considered, as I've never
been a big fan of their overall quality.
