I have a slightly different view of this.

The phrase "I survived the Incubator" and "all I got was this lousy T-

survived..." stands alone.

And I agree with Noel that the survival meme isn't quite the self-
deprecating message I'm looking for.

How about "Our project incubated at Apache and all I got was this lousy
T-shirt"?
or "Our project {hatched|graduated} from the Apache Incubator and  
all I
got was this lousy T-shirt"

either hatched or graduated would be a more positive success than
"survival" and could turn the t-shirt into a talking point for those who
want to know what it means.
Cool.

if we can come up with a more positive concept.

i like the self deprecating humour. the incubator is high ceremony so
i don't see there's much harm in a little bit of light relief after
graduation.
