We’re super excited to unveil this year’s WordPress Accessibility Day 2024 t-shirt, which you may have gotten a sneak peek of if you ran into an organizer at WordCamp Europe or WordCamp Canada.
About This Year’s Shirt
The Story Behind the Shirt
This year’s t-shirt addresses one of the things many of us have had to explain to our clients:
The visible outline that appears around clickable elements on a web page is not a bug and not something that needs to be removed.
It’s an important accessibility feature for sighted keyboard-only users that helps them keep track of where they are as they move through the page.
Focus outlines are added to websites with the CSS :focus selector. If you haven’t noticed a focus outline on websites before, you can see an example on our website by hitting your Tab key. Each time you hit the Tab key you should see an outline that moves to the next link or button on the page, from top to bottom.
Because this outline is commonly removed by people who don’t understand its purpose, we decided to highlight its importance in this year’s t-shirt design.
Description of the Shirt
This year’s t-shirt is bright orange with black text centered in three lines.
- The first line of text is large and says
:focuswith a black rectangle around it. - The second line of text says in bold, “It’s a feature,” then in regular weight, “not a bug.”
- There’s a horizontal dividing line and, below that, smaller text that says, “WordPress Accessibility Day 2024.”
The shirt was designed by Maarten Jansen.
How to Get A Shirt

Shipping and “The Fine Print”
Our t-shirts are printed and shipped via Custom Ink. They can ship internationally, but they cannot ship to certain countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, and Serbia. Contact Custom Ink if you want to verify shipping to your country.
If you select to receive a shirt as a volunteer or as a donation thank-you gift, please remember that you’re receiving the shirt as a gift and that you’re not purchasing it.
While we will do our very best to get you your t-shirt and help you track down shirts that were not received, as a very small volunteer-led nonprofit, we cannot guarantee delivery of shirts. We also cannot reimburse you for any taxes or customs fees your country may charge. Please consider that when deciding if you want a shirt. People in European countries typically get charged approximately €14 to receive the shirts.
T-shirts are non-returnable, and all donations to WP Accessibility Day are nonrefundable.
We greatly appreciate your support and are excited to have the opportunity to make the conference shirt available to everyone who wants one.
