COW 2024 Swag

As we did last year, we will have some cool polo swag for sale. This year though we will change our custom swag provider, since a few of you mentioned that the logo on the 2023 COW shirts started fading away after a few washes.

So rest assured! We will aim for highest quality custom swag this time around. You won't be disappointed!
