This is the shirt, im trying to find more info on the creator ("Bill Green"), and this image (below) from the website http://www.bambi-amiga.co.uk/amigahistory/rareitem.html is the only mention i could find of it

The company on the tag is "Screen Stars Best"


(update: the shirt from the picture is from the first Ami-Expo in San Francisco in 1987, but the one i have is from chicago, they seem to be the exact same shirt however)

Hey there! I'm not sure what you're linking to (I see no imagery on the other side of it) but that shirt is awesome. What the hell are those silver things in the middle? Looks like "www"?!

Have you tried the "Commodore International Historical Society" Facebook group? They might be able to lead you to the promised land.

P.S.
I've messaged a "Bill Green" on Linkedin to see if he's the same guy.

Welp the guy I pinged wasn't the right guy. It was a shot in the dark but you never know.

I think I found your guy.


It's a bit of a dead end the link on the page is dead) , but might help you explore some different angles of your search.

UPDATE:
Well, the years might be off by a decade. But sure sounded close.

90% of my search has been dead leads, the only two emails i could find for the creator of http://www.bambi-amiga.co.uk/amigahistory/ both dont exist anymore, so asking him is probably entirely out of the question

Update:

waiting for an email from a clothing company with the name Screen Stars, unsure if it is the same company that made the shirt but it's worth a shot

Hey, your curiosity about that Amiga shirt piqued my interest! It was one of those browsing sessions where you start with a specific goal but end up lost in a rabbit hole of possibilities. While I didn't find any Amiga shirts, the journey was exciting.

Glad I inspired you there, going down a rabbit hole of research is always very interesting
