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!

would D-Squared or Magpie possibly have these?

The common term people were using for the road sign some years back was "bugsplat", if that helps your Google searching any.

doesn't someone on this community, maybe wallace_st, have it as their icon?

It should be quite easy to create it anew, but I don't have the gimp skills for it myself. Just take the image, turn the contrast all the way up and/or edit out the words, then send it to Zazzle.

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.

I know exactly the shirt you're talking about! Bought one a few (two or three) years ago at Magpie as a gift, but it was the wrong size and when we went to exchange it they had none left and I haven't seen them since. But maybe the owner of Magpie might recall where they got the shirts. Please post if you find one as you described, I still owe a properly sized one as a gift!

I don't know if it's the original, but have a look at http://davis.spreadshirt.com/ ; is that what you're describing?
