Our Gremlins T-shirts

After watching Joe Dante's 80's classic creature feature Gremlins recently, we put our heads together and came up with the following two designs for tribute tees. They will both be uploaded onto our main site for sale shortly. Let us know what you think?

What Would John Smeaton Do?

It's been a very busy time here at the S.D.F.C. recently, following the addition of two new t-shirt designs to our website. The first is our tribute to Glasgow's very own have-a-go hero John Smeaton, (the airport baggage handler who helped police restrain one of two terrorists who tried to attack Glasgow Airport), with a simple design and phrase which reads: "What Would John Smeaton Do?" We've been recieving all sorts of feedback from this t-shirt, with people being asked by complete strangers to pose for pictures whilst on holiday or at recent summer music festivals, all because of their John Smeaton t-shirt. One of our customers wrote and told us that over 100 people at T In The Park, were pointing at his shirt and singing "There's only one John Smeaton."
Our second t-shirt has proved just as popular, with a design of Scotland complete with Saltire cross it reads: "Proudly Banjoing Terrorists Since 2007". The word "banjoing" was used by John Smeaton in one of his many, unintentionally hilarious interviews, with the world's press and basically means to blooter someone very hard in the face. The media and online attention these two shirts have recieved has been overwhelming, one of our inmates even ended up on national radio to discuss the tees and their increasing popularity.
We even managed to raise a few hundred pounds for the British Red Cross through the sales of the John Smeaton t-shirt alone and recieved a wonderful letter of thanks, which takes pride of place on Big Jim Slade's oak desk.
NB. Look out for a change of design for our John Smeaton t-shirt, which will be uploaded onto Bonaroo.co.uk, very shortly.
