Logo design GDM Shirt from'94!!! A Mid-'90's Dead Fan Favorite! -- & One of the Coolest!
Modern-Era (Pre-'95) Grateful Dead Shirt Designs!!!! And naturally, those who know the' Real-Deal' Dead Tees! Hopefully, you'll remember this one very-well - and likely from Dead Tour! Offered here indeed is one of the neatest, rarest, and highly-desirable! GDM Grateful Dead Merchandising, Inc. Shirts manufactured in the Mid-90's, prior to Jerry Garcia's untimely passing. In other words, there was really only 1-year for you to even see this shirt on the road - during Dead Tour... But I will never forget the very first time I saw it - in Seattle, Washington right smack-dab under the Space Needle!!So, I did the rightful thing (like any good Dead Fan would do) - and gave the Wow, that is a Great Shirt! And naturally, it was taken in with a Big Smile & a Thanks!
In my personal opinion, this is indeed one of the very-coolest G. Tees of the Mid-'90's. It was designed by Marc Almera in'94, and it is a truly amazing & eye-catching design to say the least...
One that completely speaks for itself. An " Aged " looking Steal Your Face & GD carved inside a stone-like Aztec/Mayan culture design pattern Beautiful! Which entirely surrounds these symbols. I believe this slate-blue color shirt was actually the only! Shirt color, that this design was made on - and it is pretty clear why...As this unique " slate-blue " background provides an absolutely Perfect! Contrast for this brilliant design to shine brightly & boldly - while at the same time, in a very subtle, classic & tasteful way. On the back, you have " Grateful Dead " written in a totally-unique & awesome!
Font (Aztec/Mayan-style, once again) in G. Which I cannot recall ever seeing on any T-Shirts, Tickets, Posters, etc.. Prior to on being debuted on this'94 shirt.Design here, if I may. However, it really does looks like it would have been a way-ideal logo for G.
But I don't think it was ever used for that purpose - or for any other? It probably really should have been though - but, it's probably even cooler now since it wasn't and was only featured on this amazing Dead Shirt! All the rarer, for certain. What a fantastic GD Shirt!!! Rare, unique, awesome & simply Beautiful!
This is a Lightly (Barely) Used Vintage Original Collectible clothing item from 1994 in Excellent! Tag Size / Brand : Large (L) / Fruit of the Loom 100% Cotton Pre-shrunk / Made in U. Pit-to-Pit = 21" Length = 31" As this is a lightly used, and very well taken care of shirt - here are the only issues that stand out to my eye upon very close inspection. >>> light fading/cracking of the design images, and slight fading of shirt material (please see all photos/close-up photos). Please Note : This Shirt was designed & manufactured to appear in an' Aged' Fashion (in Aztec/Mayan style).
