2017 University of Chicago Booth School of Business Staff Shirts

I'm liking the new 2017 Chicago Booth staff shirts that were handed out yesterday at the annual summer picnic. I missed the picnic yesterday as I was giving a workshop to the Global Initiatives team at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business but a colleague grabbed a shirt for me which was so nice!
