Prog T- shirts

It's interesting that they have a Komara shirt.

My wife made this one for me:

That's the point.

There were "got geddy?", "got lerxst?", and "got pratt?" shirts circulating a few years ago. (I don't remember a "got dirk?" shirt.)

I designed and ordered this one a few years ago:

The Zee Eff Tee surely wouldn't approve, but it was just a one-off.

Then there were these too:

I don't buy any anymore but I gotta say that I love that Bob Marley one posted on page 2!

**heracleummantegazziani** · 03-02-2016

Dushanbe - Music For Helicopter Rides

**JKL2000** · 03-02-2016

The two I've worn (out most are:

Marillion - the one based on the Carlsberg Beer logo that says "Probably the best band in the world."

Fish - The Chocolate Frog Records logo on a brown shirt with the lyrics for Chocolate Frogs on the back.

I also really like the Keneally shirt with the beheaded dog logo - I have that in brown.

No..it lives! Most of the other shirts I listed are as old or older....my mom was a pioneer of Rubbermaid totes!

**veteranof1000psychicwars** · 03-02-2016

I also have a Black Sabbath tour '78 shirt that goes for crazy bucks on eBay, and on the side I have all the original Frankie Goes To Hollywood shirts, including one so rare that its authenticity apparently can't be verified (I can verify it). It has a photo of Reagan on the front with a bullet hole in his temple, with the slogan "Only Frankie Can Stop Me Now". I get the impression there are very few of these in existence. I actually got thrown out of a college sociology class in 1983 for wearing it, sans discussion. Ah, Georgia!

That Gershon's shirt is pretty good!

I got those plus Rock in Opposition and Matching Mole, and I'm tempted to buy half a dozen others...

Warning: Camel on the Road (my oldest concert tee from 1992. R.I.P., Camel shirt!)
Progfest ’94 (only pull this one out for special occasions these days)
Progfest ’95 (this one held up for a long time, but I think it’t time to finally retire it)
Ars Nova (red silk-screening on black. Supposedly XL, but feels more like a small. The stitching on the hems fell apart after only a couple of wearings, and I immediately retired it)
Änglagård (I severely missed getting the most excellent shirt with the orange Hybris sun and had to settle for this murky gray offering. Retired)
Cast (Angels & Demons 20th Anniversary Tour. The front has a tasteful upper left chest logo, the back is a huge silk-screened image of the Angels & Demons logo. Don’t wear out hiking if you don’t want your back all sweaty)
Yes (Fragile cover)
Änglagård (Black shirt that I picked up during that 2007 reunion show at NEARFest. Soon to be retired because of hems coming loose.)
Pink Floyd (Atom Heart Mother cover. I like this one even though it’s 2XL and hangs like a tent on me. Found at a close-out sale at the Pleasant Hill Rasputin’s).

There’s probably more that I’m forgetting, like the ink-printer T-shirts I made of some obscure prog album covers (Semiramis, Gòtic, etc.)

Don't have too many. I have a Thinking Plague RIO 2012 shirt, a Hackett 'beyond the shrouded horizon' shirt and that's it unfortunately. I do have older Cocteau Twins and High Violets shirts when those bands were making their music that I enjoyed. I probably need to get out more.

I tried to squeeze into a L of that one at RIO, wasn't going to happen so I rather disappointingly handed it back.

About half way through the week, I turned to her and said, "You know what? A gecko would be a cool idea for the NEARfest shirt this year!" So, when I got home, I called Roger and he was all for it. I love the colors that he used for it. When speaking to Michael Bennett, I suggested placing just the gecko on the front of the shirt like it was climbing the wearer, just like the walls in Roatan.

Later, I re-purposed the gecko for the NEARfest Records logo (with his permission).

That's pretty great man! My father-in-laws wife always comments on it and would pay large sums for one but I told her that those things are now ancient artifacts.
