Yes.
Could do a modern Milltag-produced one for active types and a retro wool one, much like nobby's rainbow one, for more casual/relaxed wear.

I did suggest 'Up the Schwitters!' to the shopkeepers as a T-shirt/mug slogan a few weeks ago.
Expect to see that on the display by the end of the tour.

Some BSP Knitwear would be lovely, there's always room in the wardrobe for more Fairisle and Arran sweaters.

Large mugs - ones that require two Yorkshire Tea bags to make a decent brew.

What is it with this band and tshirts ? I don't think there's another band I've seen where such a significant proportion of the audience are dressed in a tshirt of the band. Not a criticism as I'm a bit of band tshirt geek myself.
In addition they appeared to be flying off the "shelf" in Manchester and Leeds. Pretty sure this band have sold more tshirts than records.

I think it'll be because there's lots of BSP t-shirt designs (seriously, it must be 100 by now) and the vast majority are objects of beauty.

A "Cleaning out the rooms" vacuum cleaner would be great and mine is probably going to need replacing soon.
A duster would be a bit cheaper though...

Head about half an hour up the road (assuming you actually are in Burnley) on 9th June and you'll see another one.

But yes, both bands seem to be the exception to the old indie adage of never wearing the shirt of the band you've gone to see (unless they're the support when it's obligatory) etc. Me I tend to wear BSP shirts to HMHB gigs and vice versa (though when BSP do a lot in a week I have to go for more variety).
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was....

Agreed, I would always wear another band's T-shirt at gigs but I broke the rule for BSP, and now I shamelessly wear one of their designs when I go to see them. It is probably because the shirts are so good, but also I don't feel I have to be "too cool for school" at a Sea Power gig. My mates still give me stick for breaking the rule though.

On the unlikely off-chance that this thread has any influence whatsoever, I would just like to speak up in favour of heavy t-shirts. And long in the body!

Well said, sir. (Apart from the long body bit).
