BSG 40 - BSG T-shirts
The Bay State Games t-shirt is a staple to BSG athletes!
Going through old photos of opening ceremonies, the sea of athletes are wearing their t-shirts, which not only acted as their ticket for admission, but served as a reminder of the hard work that went into becoming a BSG finalist.
The uniqueness of each year's t-shirt makes it a special part of the BSG experience. All current and former athletes can relate in the stack of t-shirts and other apparel that is collected throughout their athletic careers.
Even now, we still see athletes wearing their BSG t-shirts proudly at events.
Believe it or not, there are loads of BSG t-shirts on vintage reseller sites (yes we see those).
Which t-shirt design is your favorite?
