One of the perks of working at Yahoo! is what seems to be an endless supply of free t-shirts. I’ve collected quite a few over the last 5 years and I rarely wear most of them. Bored of my usual shirts, I’ve decided to try to wear a different Yahoo! t-shirt every workday for the month of June. I’m not sure I have 22, but we’ll see.
Today’s shirt is the 2003 Yahoo! Yodel Challenge shirt. Part of talent search promotion for yodelers to do the Yahoo! yodel, It was given out to employees who attended the Yodel challenge event where we broke the Guinness World’s record for simultanous yodelers.
T-shirt rating: 4/5

Interesting you should say this…
One of the things I noticed after I’d been at Yahoo a while was the dearth of free t-shirts. In my time at Oracle, I was drowning in them. I probably left Oracle with 30 or so t-shirts and 4 or 5 sweatshirts. Since I got to Yahoo over 3 years ago, let’s see… 5 I think?
At yahoo, I’ve gotten Free shirts, sweat jackets, a hoody, a pair of sunglasses, a few hats, a pair of socks (no, really. they’re white and have the Yahoo logo painted on them), and several coats.
Everything except pants.
I wonder if there’s some sort of secret dress code I’m not aware of?
