Interesting, only the names. Suppose the copyright could be the reason for the idea.

Re: The Famous Five T-Shirt
Looks like someone doing a homemade cash-in to me. It's hardly an official product of any kind.

Re: The Famous Five T-Shirt
Not a very inspiring t-shirt at all. It looks what it is...tat!! I could get the same shirt done at my local printers for as little as £3... £6 if I want the t-shirt included! No doubt some one will buy it the advertised shirt!

Re: The Famous Five T-Shirt
It would be better to print out a copy of an illustration of your choice, onto T shirt iron-on transfer paper (available at many stationary shops) and create your own Famous Five T shirt!

Re: The Famous Five T-Shirt

I had never seen a Famous Five T-Shirt, until two days ago, what I would really like to see on the front of a Famous Five T-Shirt, would be - Jennifer Thanisch, Gary Russell, Michele Gallagher and Marcus Harris.

Re: The Famous Five T-Shirt
I agree - that would be super! With all the interest in 'retro' these days, I'm amazed the 1970's Famous Five hasn't made a bigger comeback!

Re: The Famous Five T-Shirt
I'm not quite sure, but I seem to recall George@Kirrin wearing a F5 t-shirt to one of the EB days. I think Gary Russell has one as well.
