The problem with small quantities with that logo is that it is a lot of colors for screen print. You are looking and min of 6 colors per side from what I see. That alone is likely ~$22 per screen for set up anywhere you go for set up. That is ~$260 in set up alone and doest include the price of the shirt or imprint. Once you have the screens though, you have them. Most screen printers will not set up that many colors below 144 pieces. That is why you need a direct to garment printer. Tradewinds is a screen printer so they likely wont be able to help.

There was a direct to garment printer in Annapolis named Idle Time Advertising but he sold his equipment due to lack of volume. I think Walleye Pete used a direct to garment printer for his shirts. You may want to give him a call.

If you can scale down colors to outlines or just a couple of colors, it would save you a ton of money. That is why I went cheap and came up with a 1 color logo.. I also do my shirts 1 sided
