The samples you've set up on the website still show a black shirt in the store, indicating that the problem is still there. Trying to manually hide whole products with css that automatically show up is a bad solution that we shouldn't have to deal with.
Also, that's not the worst problem:
By far, the worst problem is not being able to control which products in the category show up in the store. To add one mens shirt, you have to add the whole category and all products and variations flood the store. It's by far the worst designed shop system I've ever seen. I'm not willing to try to fix ONE designs worth of spreadshirt's ridiculous problems let along MULTIPLE designs worth. So it's ONE design.
That's my task, and I'm going to complete that one thing so we can sell some shirts, mugs, caps, etc. with Inkscape logo on them without having multiple designs, which spreadshirt clearly (and bafflingly) wasn't built to handle.

I know using CSS isn't as nice an option as having it through the interface, but it did come from the official Spreadshirt blog, that's where I found the selectors suggested (other people wanted to hide the colorpicker too), and they provide the CSS override area inside the shop settings.
This is a new feature they released after you got an answer from them that it wasn't possible to control the product-color combinations. At least they listened to user feedback and have done something about it, even if it's not perfect.
We can still use your all-purpose design for product categories, and maybe only a couple of individual products with the original logo without alterations?
I know Chris that thin font is notorious to treat like that for all backgrounds, but I thought your superpowers would find the perfect solution :D Maybe the new variable font-width feature could help here? To make it a bit bolder, then the contrasting outline wouldn't drown it? Not likely, but I had to throw it out there, you'll know better what to do with it :)

I forgot to mention, thanks for the help. I do wish spreadshirt were a better platform.
Thanks for your work Mihaela. -C

Jabier, your third suggestion can't work, because if you remove background, and there is no contrasting offset, the drawing can't work on both white and black t-shirts. If the letters are black, you won't be able to see them on a black t-shirt. That was the whole point of adjusting the logo.
BTW I forgot to add - Spreadshirt settings:
I was able to hide color pickers from product pages, and from the product list pages! This means that the only color available for purchase will be the one you choose as default color when setting up the product.
So if you choose pink color as default for a set of t-shirts, and upload design that fits with that background, people will be able to buy only the pink t-shirt with that design.
If you want also that same design on light-blue t-shirts, you upload the design again, choose t-shirt products, and set default color to light-blue.
That is how we can use a different design for black t-shirts. So we've solved that problem of not having the control over the product background.
There can still be quirks, for example, if you choose product groups, and set default to gray, and if one product from the group doesn't come in that color, then they set it to some near color, but that near color can be black, which is not what we'd want. But we can again use CSS to hide the few offending products or be more picky when choosing product categories.
It's good enough I think to set up a small number of products and designs, and release the shop officially into the public. After that we can look out for other options (shops).

Great work!
Some sugestions:
Make a option with only letters withour background in "draw fereely".
Try a alternative to a simple offset of perimeter, maybe whole in a
circle or star or some kind of badge or exploding shape to inverse, keep as simpler as you can, only logo and circle/star/badge. Maybe the cirle can be a cirle gaussian.
- Remove background from draw freely
You undertand me?
Regards.

Hi folks. To solve the problem with spreadshirt bringing in too many options for each design, I've made a series of designs, ONE of which will be the design to go on the spreadshirt store.
So... please choose. :) (Note that each design is shown on a black shirt and white shirt so you can see what the same design looks like on both.
Link to samples here:
