Okay, here are a couple of pictures of the second one:

and on the back:

In case you can't read it, the paragraph on the front says:

"The QWERTY keyboard layout was designed in 1874 to stop early typewriters from jamming if typists pressed the keys too quickly. We've been stuck with it ever since."

And the paragraph on the back says:

"The Colemak keyboard layout was designed in 2005 as an ergonomic alternative for the modern computer age. It places the most commonly used letters on the home row where you can reach them easily and comfortably. And because only seventeen keys change places, it's easy to make the switch."

Nice work, James! Very informative, too. (I'd have used my own IBM-type image instead which you'd be free to do too, but maybe you prefer the simpler one.)

If you wanted to make a little typographical point, you could also use another non-monospaced font on the back. Something more modern; you know, like I did in my flyer image. Not a biggie though. Nice shirt, grats!
