i somehow dont agree to the fact that a mere t-shirt is used to differentiate between a great coder and a mere nobody like me .

a great coder is great by his/her skills and not what he or she wears.
 
besides the idea  of t-shirt came up just as a codeforces fan club t-shirt .
there can be div1 div2 t-shirts  if differentiation is required between div1 and div2 coders  :)

    Sometimes you can win one in a lottery (happened to me in SRM 500).

In my opinion ,t-shirts can be given to say(some top 5 or 3) coders in each division in each round .May be that will motivate and inspire others too.And yeputons and pistone both should agree on this.)

    If everyone had such a t-shirt, that would decrease the value of t-shirt itself. 
    Google provided 1000 t-shirts this year, TopCoder : 350. Also you can get t-shirt by just participating in regional ACM competitions. I think I mentioned even not all possibilities to get t-shirt.
    I look forward to see some Codeforces Open 2012 (?!!)
