Have you talked with the vendor about Sponsoring the shirts?  As in you 
would they be willing to cover part of the costs of the shirts for your 
Fedora events if their logo was included on the shirt?

You want to give away 200 shirts, that's 200 people walking around with 
an advert for the vendor - there is value there.
