Try a GIF editor for transparency.

# "Pacman Returns"?
You can make the background transparent in ImageReady; don't think that Photoshop itself supports that export setting.
In ImageReady, pick the background colour and set it to "transparent" in the optimization palette. But then their shirts would be transparent, too. So colouring the background differently first might be a good idea...

# no
transparent and white are different things so the white will stay white and the background will be transparent.
you're thinking of T-Shirt Transfers

# To me (colourblind, obviously), it looked
like the colour of the background and the colour of their shirts were the same. In that case, if he or she picked that colour to be tagged as "transparent" in the gif, the shirts would be see-through.
Sorry for colourblindness (still can't see the difference, I have to admit)

EDIT: Well, no difference to be seen anymore

# Hehe very good.
For transparency (photoshop):

1) Delete the background layer so you're left with the grey/white squares.
2) File > Save For Web.
3) Make sure you're on Gif and that Transparency is ticked.

# Save it as a gif, not as a jpeg
Jpegs don't handle transparency.

also as discussed earlier, rather than go through hassle of stopping PS from rounding off when enlarging, you can draw the picture pixel small, so it's a tiny filesize, then put width="280" into the img src tag to show it larger on the board - and still with tiny filesize! Hurrah!
