I saw this on Facebook, and ordered the shirt. Little did I know they have to sell 50 of these or else it will not go to print.
It is something different, and for Grateful Dead fans, it is awesome.
Hope they reach the minimum to go to presses!

When did Keith Richards agree to be on a Xavier shirt?

Somebody should put up a XavierHoops shirt and give the proceeds to Pablo's fund. I'd buy 2 or 3. Already got the Holyland one.

I'm tempted.
I'm on a t-shirt hiatus, having recently recycled numerous, hanging onto only the real gems: a vintage X shirt, a Ramones Rocket to Russia number, a few others. But I may make an exception.
I hope X cut as good a deal on this as the Dead did . . . They're supposed to be pretty shrewd on the licensing front.

Cool looking shirt, however, be warned. I ordered a Reds shirt from a similar site. When I received it, the logo was smaller than in the mock up. After the first wash, the logo is already cracking and fading. So the quality of these is not always as expected.
I'm on a t-shirt hiatus, .
Yeah, you and everyone in the city of Dayton. Hi-yooooo!

I love the navy one with the old X. That is back, back, back in my era.

I'll probably get one of the Dead shirts, possibly a hoodie too. Hopefully quality is decent.

18 more hours, and still need 8 more shirts to sell. XU82, now is your time to come through (if you haven't already)!
Question... Is this a goal of 50, a minimum order of 50, a total of 50 for sale...? You told me to dust off my credit card, and I'm hoping it doesn't melt down! And I'm too lazy to do this type of thing often - I often go without for that reason....

The minimum is 50 or they will not print and no one gets a shirt. All kidding aside, don't let my peer pressure force you into buying something you don't want, need, or can afford.
We're on 43. I want to be the hero in the white hat who comes in to save the day at the last minute! (In this case maybe a tie died hat?) But seriously, I'll check in the morning. I literally have a pile of shirts on the floor of my closet ready for bagging and a trip to Goodwill. And more that need to get plucked and thrown to the floor to join them. But that's a pretty cool shirt....
Maybe my parents would want them as Christmas gifts!!!
Maybe not....
But what a great Holiday gift idea! Get a head start on that shopping people!!! No one would see this one coming.

82's favorite Grateful Dead song is China Cat Sunflower. Or was.
He won't let us down.

After more than three decades, that is freakish recall! Seriously! It would say definitely a top five. I have only recently started tuning to Sirius 23 just to shake the cobwebs. Am I regressing? Are diapers in my near future? Props to Mel! He reminds me of things I didn't know I knew!
Can't give you private reps, but now I want to take it back anyway because I have a hankering for a certain piece of music...
:-)
It's not the same without the old Advent speaker the size of a compact car. Europe '72, disc 1 track 6. But one thing leads to another! It's not the one song as much as the whole side. Ok, apparently I have a bit of a problem. I haven't pulled that stuff out in years, and now I want to wander home from Dana's and crank it all up. (Long walk these days.) What I need is a serious set of speakers. These book shelf deals are just not the same.

I didn't get into the Dead in HS. However, September - Freshman year I strolled into a buddy's room Husman, where both he and his roommate were out, but with the door wide open. I hit play on his roommates CD player and Europe 72 was in and I somehow scrolled to China Cat Sunflower, and from there on I was set.
At that same time, he had Without a Net too, which I love for China Cat, Looks Like Rain, etc... I think I am equally inclined.

OK, I just got two. ONE MORE TO GO! Who wants to be the hero and hit the magic 50? Less than 4 hours to act! Think of what a lovely gift they would make.

You should all pick one game this season and wear them.

And after the game, all go to Dana's and listen to some tunes (and drink some beer).

I would have appreciated that company forwarding that information, and since it's not getting printed obviously, a full refund right freaking now.

A very clever plot, if you think about it. Of course the Copyright Claim could be anticipated. They were probably banking on the Dead Heads to have forgotten they had ordered a tee shirt they did not need. (That's the power of the Board - we protect one another.)

I first smelled a rat when they were only charging one extra buck for the long-sleeve.
No, seriously, I thought they had it all sorted out.

Riiiiiight.
According to the viralstyle.com customer service rep I just spoke with 558 of these shirts were ordered and they were sent to the printer prior to the copyright claim. Also, he said that I should be receiving my tracking number within the next day or two. Their customer service number is 888-491-8876, despite the well-spoken and polite customer service rep I'm still a little skeptical....there's no way 558 were ordered, is there?

They don't appear overly concerned with that. There's also a rumor that for an additional $10 you can have your shirt signed by Jerry Garcia.

Probably in blue ink, identical in color to the shirt.
We don't need another signed Jerry Garcia shirt in the house. #humblebrag.

When your shirt arrives, if you forward it to me (postage prepaid both ways) I will sign Jerry Garcia's name to it for $7. A savings of $3 to you.

Does the shirt work as a "free drink pass" all day for those wearing them? I think I can drink about the cost of the airfare.... making it all a wash for me if I include the saving of $3 on Muskies Jerry Garcia autograph.

The cost of drinks here are relatively free compared to most places
