We can reduce one color if we play well with the T-shirt colors. OTOH, I
would really like to have some cool and different T-shirt colors (not the
ones from the logo palette).

I'll try to make a simplified version of the logo with less colors. The
problem is also that the bird itself is very colorful. :)

Yes, that's a good idea! Maybe we can do the silhouette and scrap the
details?

Thank you Gunnar for your input! :)
