Benny has given me the final design for the tshirt. It was made by a friend of the band. There will be a red and black shirt available. I like it a lot; very simple and comical.

First Avenue show shirt design:

Thanks to all those who participated. Please feel free to share your submissions.

This one went through several stages. At one point I had hidden references to all the names of the SA albums in the design, but wanted to keep it simple. 5 are still there (I'll let you see if you can find them, though a few are kind of hard to see/lame).

Here's the answers (black was as close as I can come to a spoiler tag):

Made To Be Broken: Horse's broken leg
Hang Time: The banner (Had a pair of Converse All Stars hanging on the light pole in the one with all albums)
And The Horse They Rode In On: The horse (I did have a drawing of it originally)
Grave Dancers Union: Small grave marker on top of light
Let Your Dim Light Shine: Street light
The Silver Lining: Cloud inside of light



The first design I had started working on (but didn't complete) was one with the band members as ornaments on a christmas tree. Another idea I had tossed around was a broken egg-shaped snowglobe (again with album references) with a Soul Asylum/First Avenue nameplate.

The final design is brilliant. Simple, clever, and funny -- very "them."

Here are mine:

I like these designs!

Gee, if the snowman design won and my sister Emily (who collects snowman figures) was a SA fan, I would have asked you to pick up a t-shirt for me.
