The ' Closing of Winterland ' 1978 - 1979 New Years Eve Design " The Blue Rose " by Mouse / Kelley !!! ... an Beyond-Amazing ! Good Ol' Grateful Dead - Vintage-Classic !!!!! Grateful Dead Fans !!! ... Rick Griffin Fans !! ... & Mouse / Kelley Fans !! Offered here is a Legendary !!! Grateful Dead Shirt ... as for this one, the term Legendary itself is almost an understatement - as the photos provided, do a fantastic job of telling the tale on this one ... Wow. On the front side of this Vintage-Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) 1982 Beauty ! of a Dead Shirt ... you have the Grateful Dead " Skull & Crossbones " image - Bright & Bold ! by the one & only Rick Griffin ! I believe this image made its very-first ' inaugural ' debut on the the Grateful Dead's 15-Year Anniversary Program, when at that time - it was also featured on T-Shirts, most of which ( or maybe all ? ) I believe were T-Shirts of the " short-sleeve " design/style. And on the back ... Double-Wow ! - right ? There it is ... the Stanley Mouse & Alton Kelley image from the 1978 Poster / Handbill / Shirt Masterpiece ... the image known as the " Blue Rose ! ". The debut of this Amazing & Quintessential G.D. design was in celebration of the Grateful Dead's Closing of the Winterland on New Year's Eve 1978-79. And this Shirt here ? Pretty much Monumental ! in the G.D. & Rock 'n Roll Shirt-World, as this 1982 printing combined Both ! of these Giant G.D. images " all-in-one " ... on the perfect two-tone, 3/4 sleeve ' Jersey-Shirt ' which is just a fantastic symbol, of the sign of the styles & times. A wonderful ' grey ' color on the body to most-effectively catapult these more than eye-catching artistic images. And as for the Sleeves ? Well, that's where this Shirt here - in Excellent ! condition, may I add -- becomes an extreme rarity ... as a majority of these '82 Shirts that were made had the same ' grey ' body - but had ' black ' sleeves. Where has this one ? Take a close look - and you will see that the sleeves are a perfect-shade of ' Navy-Blue ' !!! I suppose the original manufacturers intent was to make this shirt with ' black ' sleeves ( to highlight & match the Griffin image ) - and also with ' blue ' sleeves ( to highlight & match the Mouse / Kelley image ). Who knows what the original quantities might have been ... but as the sands of time have passes through the hour-glass - ( well over 40-Years Old Now ! ) - the ' black-sleeve ' version is seen, and seems to surface - where on the other hand ? You just do not seen this ' navy blue ' sleeved version. This Shirt is just a truly-Amazing ! one, in that you are basically able to wear two ( 2 ! ) of Rock 'n Roll's and The Grateful Dead's most Quintessential ! design-images of all-time. Enjoy this Griffin ! - Mouse ! - Kelley ! - & Grateful Dead !!! Treasure !! of a Vintage-Original 1982 Shirt, and wear it with pride - as this one will deliver both the Compliments ! & the Smiles !! too - even from Both-Sides !!! Enjoy !!!!!
