Banner Crest Shirt

March 31, 2022 By In BR Logo Gear No Comments

This previously unknown shirt came up on eBay in March 2022. The price tag dates it to late 1988-89, after the Ziegler era and before the first rebrand. The crest on the breast is not seen anywhere else; it’s very distinctive with the globe, banners and starburst. H/t Wendy Joffe for bringing it to my attention.
