Last month we talked about our vintage t-shirt collection [here]. While it’s still small, we’re staying on the look-out for shirts and designs that speak to us.

This classic design originated in 1977. Graphic designer Milton Glaser was recruited to work with ad agency Wells Rich Greene to develop a marketing campaign for New York State. He did the work pro bono, only expecting the campaign to last a few months. Decades later, this icon is still a big seller and instantly recognizable. Doyle donated Glaser’s original concept sketch and presentation boards to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

We just know we like the shirt. And the city.
