As one who submitted, I’m more comfortable with the decision being made only by ProBlogger staff.

Maybe ProBlogger could pick their favorite and award prizes to its creator, but also allow a people’s favorite and have a second prize for it – such as consulting and links.

Well, I’d probably buy a shirt if one of my designs were in the top 5 … *nudge,nudge,say no more*

I’m interested in seeing these 60+ designs before they make it to any shirt. Any chance you can zip them up and offer the file as a download so we can satisfy our curiosity?

Voting by sales is a good idea. It is a lot like a contest amongst non-profits (described at http://marshallbrain.blogspot.com/2005/07/donorschooseorg.html for example) where the winner is the one that can get the most donations.

That sounds fair; I can’t wait to see the other designs.

Yes, let us vote by buying a T-Shirt or two. I’m looking forward to buying one. In fact I’ll probably buy a few if you put more than one design up for sale and I like them.

I vote for making a few available and watching to see which one wins from sales.

yes, open a vote (and tell me which system you will use for this, a Wordpress plugin?).
I think it is better to give us the chance to buy the shirt we like, so a chance to have up to 5 shirts would be good.

That sounds perfectly fair. And the losing designs will become instant collector’s items when you become a Blogging celebrity. :)

I like the idea of opening the voting to us the “viewer.” That way your fans can pick which design we like best. There were a lot of nice designs out there, so choosing will be tough!
