This bright red t-shirt was given to Apple Distinguished Educators who attended the ADE Summer Institute in 2009 at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, USA. This shirt is sealed in its original package.

This t-shirt is dark orange and features the words, “I’m a Mac.” front and center.
The t-shirt is a reference to an Apple ad campaign that ran from 2006–2009 titled “Get a Mac.” Television commercials and print ads featured two actors, Justin Long as “Mac” and comedian John Hodgman as “PC,” against an all-white background. Wikipedia describes the ads:
“The two…act out a brief vignette, in which the capabilities and attributes of Mac and PC are compared, with PC—characterized as formal and somewhat polite, though uninteresting and overly concerned with work—often being frustrated by the more laid-back Mac’s abilities.”
The t-shirt tag indicates it is a Hanes Beefy-T brand made from 100% cotton in size 2XL. It was made in El Salvador. The back of the t-shirt is blank.
Although Apple sold a shirt with a similar design, this shirt was exclusive to the Apple Distinguished Educator program. I am part of the ADE Class of 2007. (The Apple Company Store version uses smaller text with the words “Hello, I’m a Mac.” and has a white Apple logo on the top-center of the back.)

This heather blue t-shirt was given to Apple Distinguished Educators and features the phrase “There’s an ADE for that.” printed on the front centered in white text in the Apple Myriad font. The left sleeve features the Apple Distinguished Educator logo.
The featured phrase is a reference to the Apple ad campaign, “There’s an app for that.” The tagline was first used in a 2009 TV commercial for the iPhone 3G that depicts a user scrolling across iPhone screens selecting various apps for specific tasks. In 2010 Apple was awarded a trademark for the phrase.
The Apple Distinguished Educator program co-opted the phrase to describe and showcase the diversity, knowledge, and expertise brought by the members of the ADE program.

This collection of three buttons is from an Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE) event during which ADEs learned about the “Yes, and…” principle of improvisational comedy, or “improv.”
Improv comedy performers work together to “define the parameters and action of the scene, in a process of co-creation.” An improv performer must accept the premise of another performer (i.e., “yes,”) and then add to it (i.e., “and…”). “It is the responsibility of the other improvisers to accept the offers that their fellow performers make… Accepting an offer is usually accompanied by adding a new offer, often building on the earlier one” (Wikipedia).
Modern improvisational comedy began to be formalized in Chicago, through exercises developed by Viola Spolin, who influenced “the first generation of modern American improvisers at The Compass Players in Chicago, which led to The Second City” (Wikipedia).
At this ADE event, we used the “Yes!…and” idea as a foundation for educational collaboration. Educators worked in small groups with San Francisco-based improv performer/teacher Rebecca Stockley to learn the concept.
One of the white buttons features the Apple Distinguished Educators logo of the time (an iMac with a woodcut design with the Apple Distinguished Educators logotype) and the words Yes!…and, in the Myriad Apple font. Another button features the words Yes!…and, in the Myriad Apple font superimposed over a gray world map on a white button. A third, smaller button with a black background features the words Yes…And! in white in the Gill Sans font (used in the Newton product line from 1993–1998).
