The front of the tee sported the Deengelbury logo: a Traveling Deengelburys banner draped around the world which hid a golden eagle clutching a guitar in its left claw. No one knows what all that means, but it was cool to look at!
The back of the shirt advertised their 1989 Lost in Time World Tour. Inside the circle was printed "The Brothers D" which was the collective nickname for the band. Each band member also had their own Deengelbury nickname. These nicknames were hand-written by each member around the outside of the circle. And buried behind everything is a list of towns on their tour. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the tour was canceled after the first stop.
There were fifty-three T-shirts printed for the show. They sold for $8 each and sold out! There were also six jerseys made but those went to members of the band and not available to the public. Each shirt also came with its own Certificate of Authenticity signed by Wally Deengelbury.
Today the Studio has one T-shirt and one jersey packed away in protective storage. Who knows what happened to the other shirts? Keep checking e-Bay, you may one day get your chance to own one of these apparel pieces of history!
