Davis Square shirts?

[cos]

Years ago - I don't remember how long, but possibly 10 or even more - someone was selling Davis Square T-shirts at ArtBeat that were very simply blue like the background of the Davis Sq sign, with just the road-shape in white on the front, and nothing else. No words or labels or outline or anything. I got one and it's one of my favorite T-shirts.

I wish I'd gotten 2 or 3, but I've never seen them since. Several years at ArtBeat I've seen a different vendor selling Davis Square T-shirts based on that sign, but they have outlines and text and say "Davis Square", etc. I've had an eBay saved search for many years but all it ever turns up are "Mystic River" movie shirts.

Anyone seen the shirts I'm describing or know where to get them or perhaps want to create them anew?

Edit: wallastreet linked to https://davis.spreadshirt.com/ which is not exactly the same thing but quite close, and I'm going to get some of those!

The ones you are talking about (royal blue with a 1 color white Davis sign) I think were only sold by 1 itinerant vendor at ArtBeat years ago. You may want to ask the Arts Council. They probably have records of what vendors during what years were selling what, or they would at least remember who the guy was. And maybe have his contacts.

The Mr. Davis ones are the DARBI logo shirts. And the ones with the street names are usually the ones made by the Somerville Homeless Coalition and sold at Artbeat and a couple of shops in the Square.

You may be referring to the shirt I've got. It's not royal blue, it's Davis Square sign blue, which has more white in it that royal blue - it's somewhere on the continuum between royal blue and sky blue. Also it doesn't exactly have the sign, because the real sign has both street names and a white outline and this has neither; on the other hand, it's not purely one-color since it does have a couple of red do not enter logs (though I wouldn't mind a similar shirt lacking those). However it might still be that that's what you meant.

I don't remember what year it was and what else, if anything, this guy was selling, but I'll see if they can figure it out from such vague information :) Although it sounds like, if that's true, whoever it was likely either isn't around anymore or has no more shirts to sell or probably both.

Since you have one of these T-shirts, can you post a photo of it here? That would clear up some of the confusion you're seeing in these replies.
