February 23rd, 2008

This week we are showing three of the Rock ‘n Roll shirts from the Screenflex collection.

Kathleen is wearing a Dire Straits shirt featuring Mark Knopfler from their 1992 “On Every Street” European tour. According to the tour itenerary printed on the back, they performed in 43 cities. That was their last tour befor disbanding in 1995.  

To her right is the Led Zeppelin shirt that dates back to the release of their ”Physical Graffitti” album in 1975. As reported in an earlier article, a similar Led Zeppelin t-shirt sold on auction in New York late last year for about $1,625.00.

The Eric Clapton shirt to Kathleen’s left was printed in London, England by Things who were well known for their superb rock ‘n roll shirts. As far as we can recall, this shirt was printed in the early 1990’s not long after the tragic death of his son Conor in 1991. However, if our facts need straightening out, please feel free to let us know at info@screenflex.ca

Next week we’ll feature three tees from the Screenflex collection that record historical sports events.
