We’ve revived the Iowa GEEK t-shirt and for $10 you can have a replica of this famous T. It’s an American Apparel t-shirt, 100% cotton, in navy blue with teal outline. We put our logo (small) on the back collar. Email us to request a shirt.
Most of you know that it has a propensity for showing up at famous events in our nation’s history. People were proud to be Iowa GEEK’s long before the term was fashionable. So, order yours and wear it proudly!
