Terri,
Can you post the photo as an image instead of a link? I would help you out, but i don't click links.

Ok, I uploaded the image for the actual shirt...sorry but they didn't give me one yet. Maybe next week? I just saw quite a few volunteers wearing them and I was following them closely to see how it turned out.
From the looks of it...I don't think they printed black. I was under the impression that they were doing the same heat transfer thing, like last year. (Perhaps this is an issue of miscommunication?)
Thinking back...I've just realized that they didn't use the revised they requested. It still looks pretty much the same...just weird that they changed it back.
I'm looking even closer into the file..maybe the gradient was a little complicated..but again..I don't think it would have been an issue if it was heat transfer'd (I gathered this from a conversation the staff had and the mention of "all the colors" when I asked how many colors.)
I wished I would have been called/emailed if there was any issues.
So had I used spot colors (in .psd? Or would I have to export to .ai?) and maybe manually separated it, it would have been ok?

The printer should have been able to color separate that image into 4 to 6 colors and it should have looked damned close to the artwork. That image is actually not that hard to do because it's all shades of orange, red, and gold. 6 color simulated process. Here's something similar.
