help Liz buy a shirt

I am crowdsourcing a Christmas present, because I am a deeply indecisive person.
So my friend Susan asked for a Captain America t-shirt, and I have found three potential candidates:
1. generic shield variation
2. comic panels variation
3. fancy patterns variation
I am leaning a little toward the fancy patterns variation, because it's both cool and pretty. Unfortunately that one only comes in two colors -- black or navy blue -- and I think the image pops best on the black background. The thing is, the last shirt I gave Susan was also black, and I'd like to switch that up a little, which is why I've picked baby blue as the color for the other two options. So does cool pattern outweigh pretty color, or vice versa? And if pretty color wins, do I go with the slightly larger shield with random comic panels, or the smaller plain shield?
It's a hard choice!
Anyway, thoughts?

I generally like darker colors for outside the house because, if I'm out and drip food on them, it doesn't show so terribly on the bus ride home.

I think part of the problem is that she's a professional artist, so I want to make sure I get her something that looks good.
ETA: She is a peaches-and-cream blonde and looks good in both light and dark colors.
