We're ready to take the tee-shirt design to the silk screener. This will be a very limited edition tee-shirt. They are only $6 plus three dollars shipping (for up to 3 shirts) if you're in the US If you're outside the US. shipping is more - details below. This is strictly not for profit - just for fun - the love of Steve's music and our group. By request we have decided to make the logo and lettering larger across the front so they can be easily read from a few feet away. This way it will be easier to spot other group members at the upcoming concert. They are on high quality, heavy weight tee-shirts. I choose the natural color because it reminds me of John Barleycorn and the logo and lettering can be in either blue or red (not both). You may remember which logo won the election from the previous SP. The quickest way to get them is to E-mail me now, then snail mail a check. Let me know how many & what sizes you need now so we will be sure to make enough in that size. Sizes range from youth small through adult XXL but the XXL cost $1.50 more.
