New Gaslight T-Shirt for Japan

http://stores.homestead.com/gaslight/-strse-83/The-Gaslight-Anthem-Cherry/Detail.bok

I'm assuming this is legit. Pretty sweet t-shirt and for a good cause, but would kinda like some confirmation from the band that it really is legit.

its legit...i just a TGA newsletter on my email informing me about the tshirt

Yeah, but like it came from info@punkrockmusic.com. If it was from S1D I'd trust it, but I don't even know why I'm on a mailing list from punkrockmusic...

that doesn't even look like a gaslight-ish design

it came from punkrockmusic cause they are the ones who handle the online merch from TGA...im guess we got the email from em cause we have ordered tshirts or some sort of the merch thru the TGA website.

Where does it state that it's for the benefit of Japan though?

Thanks, I apparently didn't see that

It looks cool and it's for a good cause but the $10+ shippings cost kinda bugs me. Any chance of the shirt being shipped from Europe in the near future?

Yeah the shipping to Europe's a real killer everything takes ages to come too

Those cherry blossoms (indigenous to parts of Asia) are there for Japan, that's why I suppose it isn't like any other TGA shirt.

Yeah I immediately thought of a shirt the National have. Still very cool though.

I am so buying that...

Here's some info from the email about the shirt that addresses some of the questions here.

Why the cherry blossom?

the cherry blossom stands resilient and will always
continue to flower"

Why did I get the email?

For some of The Gaslight's Anthem fans this may be the first time receiving a newletter from the band. We have integrated the band's homepage newsletter sign-up with the store sign-up, and we expect to run an informational newsletter releasing band news and announce promotional offers for band merchandise, which will certainly include the efforts of the fund raising for the Japanese Red Cross Society.

That merch site definitely needs to be rebuilt, because as it stands, it looks like something I would have made in 1998. ha. But regardless, I ordered the shirt last night! I also ordered several things from there a while back and it all worked out wonderfully.

I agree, not very "gaslight-ish" but I still think it's lovely and with a great cause like that, you can't go wrong

Agreed Eden, lovely shirt.

I was asked by my college to perform in this Japan fundraiser going on tomorrow. Included in my set-list is Wherefore art thou, Elvis? There's usually Gaslight in my sets lol.

Btw..
