New T-Shirts Batch

Alasdair S took the initiative to get a new batch of  The Glasgow Jam t-shirts based on the existing design with TGJ's logo by Dominic Snyder on the front / " TheGlasgowJam " on the back. A few similar t-shirts that from the past have been figuring around the community. Ali ordered 25 dusk coloured t-shirts from Out of the Blueprint , a  Social enterprise eco print studio in Leith. Penny C kindly collected and brought them to Glasgow a few weeks ago. Many have already been sold to community members but some are still available. The cost is £18 per t-shirt and sizes available are XS, S, M, and L. Below is Riccardo V wearing a t-shirt front and back for your preview and enjoyment. If you would like to order a new t-shirt, please email theglasgowjam@gmail.com or ask Alasdair S or Riccardo V at one of our next events.
