Do the sponsors actually ask to have their logos on the shirts, or did 
someone just volunteer this?

I'm one of those people who hate this. I don't wear the YAPC shirts from 
2006 on because of this, except under another shirt.

FWIW, when we did Frozen Perl nobody asked about getting their logo on the 
shirt, and we didn't offer it.

I would _love_ to see a return to the logo-less shirts so I can start 
wearing them during the summer again.
