It’s the perfect wardrobe staple for layering under a hoodie on cool New England days or wearing solo when the weather’s wicked nice.

"Just an absolute classic for this 1975 baby!"
"Chowdaheadz does a wonderful job ever time!! They make a terrific product - I have always purchased T-shirts. They are high quality cotton, beautifully printed, arriving quickly, packaged securely. They have great prices! I keep coming back for all these reasons and more!"
"Awesome quality. Cotton is soft and super comfortable. Design is nostalgic. Absolutely love it. Great gift!"
"Runs a little small so I would suggest going up a size especially if you are big chested. Other than that I LOVE it. Quality is good and just the overall experience has been great."
"I like your shirts very much. However I would like it more if you added Robert Parrish. Together Bird, Parrish and McCale were known as "The Big Three". A local Boston sports T-shirt called Supah Fans made a great one back in the early 2000s. Had it for 20 years. This not a knock just an idea to honor those three Boston Celtics icons. Thanks"
"Item as described, Fast shipping"
"My husband LOVES it!"
"Much appreciated by my friend."
"I really like your shirts a lot. However you left out Robert Parrish. A great local company called Supah Fans did a fantastic shirt honoring the Champion Triumvarite. Maybe next shirt?"
