You're right about the not-so-distant future, but wrong about the nature of the shirt. There's a research facility here that developed the first marketable LCD's back in the 60's, and their latest thing is zero-power displays on fabric. They could make a shirt that could switch from NFHS stripes to NCAA stripes to NFL stripes, have a variable position placard on the back, and display a flag and a state patch as well.

Not commercially viable above $100.
