There are two or three small shops in my area that do custom shirts and things of that nature. We've had them do individualized shirts before, and a few of my friends have done one-of shirts there as well. They typically use iron on transfers, but they are quite durable. The advantages: You get the shirt quickly, often in less than and hour and you could be supporting a small, locally owned business if that's your thing. The disadvantage: It's not the cheapest route, but I haven't found it to be hideously expensive either.

Of course, you could always make a stencil as well. Print out the design/text you want onto a piece of paper, rubber cement it to a piece of sturdy cardstock (file folders work rather well.) and cut it out with an xacto knife. Grab some fabric paint or something from an arts and crafts store and you're ready to rock.

Good luck!
