I was talking to a guy the other day who was wearing a well made black t-shirt with a big 50 on back and similar on front with some words but no obvious link to what it was.

He told me it was an official Guinness T-Shirt as part of their 250 year history. Quite why it had 50 rather than 250 I don't know.

Anyway I thought I might try and find one for my lad's Chrissie stocking as he is currently working in Dublin and it wasn't a "touristy" type item.

But I have no luck sourcing one despite trying the usual suspects - e-bay, google etc.

Any ideas anyone please?

(Driving back I did wonder if he had been winding me up and the shirt was from a local gay club but I think it was genuine )

 

You sure it wasn't a 17 on the front and 59 on the back?

I've had a look at their official webstore here and cannot instantly see something that matches exactly what you saw, but the 17 and 59 thing (see here seems to be the closest I can come up with)

 

Hi Markus,

Many thanks for that - it could have been a 17 so will look thro' website/s

Cheers, Daid

 

It's 17 on front and 59 on the back. As in 1759 to celebrate 250 years of Guinness

 

Guinness is good for you!

I remember the good old Toucan too!
