1980 Begins with a Very Rare and Very Sporty Shirt




What we have here is a very true rarity. This is a shirt made for the band members that they wore in their softball games. I guess Journey and the crew liked the game, and played charity events and radio stations and stuff. This is the only one i have ever seen. Its in pretty great condition so i am not sure if it is "game worn" or not. I hope that it is but one often can never know such things. As you can see in the first picture, Gregg Rolie has one on and seems to be having a great time.

Hey Dave, yeah I got this on eBay about 8 years ago, never seen another since - and I still check the shirt listings weekly.

But you have that ridiculous Escape Bomber Jacket. Terry Brennan, the Journey tour merchandise manager, auctioned off a bunch of his stuff several years ago on eBay and I missed the opportunity to buy his jacket for $125 (buy it now) - that haunts me because likely never see one of those again either. Thanks for having a look. You have really amazing stuff in your collection...

Thanks Dave. It would be nice to catalog what's out there jacket-wise. I will probably throw together a post with some links to your site sometime soon.
