DescriptionMan's white cotton knit T-shirt from the "Tax Track 5K Road Race," held on April 21, 2001. The round neckline is bound with finely knitted ribbing. The short sleeves and bottom are turned under and machine-stitched. The fabric is knitted in the round; there are no side seams. The printed logo on the front is primarily black, with some purple lettering. It has an image of a man in a suit coat, tie, and shorts, running with a briefcase in his hand. Two other figures appear in the distance. Above him appears: "TAX TRACK/ 5K ROAD RACE -- APRIL 21, 2001." Below him appears: "CS CPA / YOU SEE NUMBERS. / WE SEE OPPORTUNITIES."

On the back, in purple ink, appears the footprint of a running shoe, with the logos of race sponsors: "CPA / CSPA / Bagelz/ THE BAGEL BAKERY / HARTFORD SNACKS / Audibert Jones / Associates Inc. / Professional Recruiters / sartorius / SPORTS / WWUH, 91.3FM / POLKA MADNESS." Above the footprint, appearing within an oval, appears: "CPA / THE CPA. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE."
