Would love to find an old one from a PCC that included at least Watertown (that I could afford <i.e. "cheap">).The newer PCC rollsigns from the mid 1970's did include 'A WATERTOWN' and 'A OAK SQUARE' readings - I think the only PCC rollsigns that did not were the ones the MBTA printed in the 1980's.

How bout an I Hate the Silver Line one?If you want a shirt but don't want to pay $20 + Shipping, there are local stores that sell them. PM me if interested as listing the stores here may be viewed as an advertisement.

In fact, I think my wife was mildly appalled the first time I donned that T-shirt, with a big grin on my face. "But," she said, "you don't REALLY hate the Green Line... you LOVE it!"
She's right. But the T-shirt IS funny.
Regarding other memorabilia, there was a run of Type 7 rollsigns (I have no idea how many) where the printer forgot to include B BOSTON COLLEGE. From On High came the edict to chuck them all. With the help of a long-retired worker at Riverside, at least some of them never made the dumpster... I have one of them.
We should make a T-shirt to clarify. I love the green line when I occasionally have to take it during the off-peak. I hate it when I have to commute daily during rush hour.Howabout:
