Tour Shirts
Our thanks for the pictures of the original black and yellow Sisters Trip The Light Fantastic shirts go to Heartland Forums member ribbons69.
NOTE: This was the first time, a yellow coloured tour t-shirt was officially distributed. The longsleeve shirt on the right is a fake, clearly recognisable from the funny font used for the print.
