I couldn't concluded a tour of 2009 concert shirts without stopping to appreciate the newest generation of Phish shirts, both official and lot style. I know I blog about Phish shirts a lot but they have by far the most active community of lot shirt scene. I've always been a sucker for a good lot shirt.
Now, I can't say for certain that there will be 100 new phish shirts created this year but with Festival 8 only days away I think that number if a fair guess. Think of the dozens of shirts that came out of Hamptons alone, then their return to Red Rocks, and now Festival 8; it adds up.
To the left is one of my favorite new shirts of 2009. The Twitter/Tweezer shirt. I'm really looking forward to wearing this at one of my internet geek conventions, I expect it to be a real conversation starter. I should really pick up an extra to give to the one guy there who's also been to a Phish concert.
Here is a quick link to the 2009 Phish shirts in the archive, and to the 2009 Phish shirts available on eBay.
