The Official Meet Shirt

This shirt has been custom designed for members of the BRHS. The logo depicts the silhouette of Mark Twain and his trademark signature as used on promotional items on board the Mark Twain Zephyr. On the sleeve appears the script BRHS QUINCY 2018.

The shirts are available in your choice of polo style or button down dress shirt. The logo and script will be embroidered in black on a silver /gray shirt reminiscent of the stainless steel used in the construction of the MTZ. The shirt was designed to pay homage to MTZ service to Quincy.
