At the last PAX East, the PAX Community Tee made its debut. The goal was to illustrate all (well, most) of the events put on entirely by the awesome community that surrounds PAX, both Prime and East. Thus the heraldry is split red and blue for both venues, with the Pre and Post dinners, Pubcrawls, button and card trading, and the mystery tours. Various trips and events flank. The Latin phrase says "strangers are friends," describing the willingness of the PAX community to welcome everyone into the group.
Shirts are available in men and women's sizes, in a variety of colors:

I have gotten approval for the PAX community logo (the text) and the heraldry from Khoo. He asks that items are sold at cost, and that the PAX community logo text be no larger than 4" when reproduced. In that vein, there's a one to two dollar mark-up to cover my store cost (which allows me to offer any variety of shirt). Any excess I get will be donated to Child's Play.
If there's a style or color you're wanting, let me know and I'll try to accommodate. If you get inspired by a community event at PAX this year, come back to this thread and let me know what should get included for next year's design.

peetsnack suggested making a set, a button for each event. I think this is a really neat idea for next year, though it will cost a decent chunk of money. It would probably require a chipin so people could contribute to the printing cost. Also, each event already tends to make their own cool swag, and I wouldn't want people to stop making their cool swag, or feel otherwise inhibited. What do people think?
Everyone so far has been pretty satisfied with the quality of the printing itself, thankfully.

There's a general Cafepress sale today, Saturday the 6th, 15% off t-shirts. I think you can still sneak in on the cheap shipping too, and get it before PAX (if you're not leaving several days early).
I'd say today is the last day for Standard Shipping and hope of getting it. Premium shipping is a bit pricey, but a safer bet.
