The ‘Forty years on’ Abbey Road T-shirt
Saturday, August 8, 2009 6:36Gotta love this: BBC news visits the most famous pedestrian crossing forty years on and finds big love, and some narky neighbours. “In the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make” – a lot of love on this zebra crossing, I think!
If you go down there, it’s a really quiet street in North London, and then, just as you think you’ve got it wrong, out pop four giggling girls, or a bunch of grungy Nirvana looking guys, and they hand you their camera and walk out on the crossing … and I’ve got to be honest, it makes you choke up, it really does, to see people making this little photographic icon that’s turned an ordinary road into a shrine to music.
So … to find a T-shirt that does the forty year anniversary justice. This is what I came up with. Nothing too retro, nothing too schmaltzy, a nice sharp image that plays with the idea of the four ex-mop-tops and their short journey.
I think it’s pretty cool. What I really like is the sleeve detail which just sets the image off nicely …
It’s a nice T-shirt from WearYourBeer - not too hot for summer, but in a colourway that takes you through to winter.

i would have to agree with that post. and i hope i’m not being inappropriate here, but my site sells shirts that are relevant to the post and the concept. icronical is all about depicting iconic figures – artists from around the world – 10% of all proceeds go to user-determined charities… submit/vote/support and we’ll be on our way to being chest friends forever!
