And that's it! I have a few more that I wear, but those are all the "memento" shirts.
Very nice shirts indeed Soda! I'd say you are mighty proud of your collection.
Just a question? Do you guys prefer to wear the shifts and proudly display your allegiances, or do you keep them purely as memorabilia?

I can only speak for myself, but I like to keep the ones with tour dates / cities on them as memorabilia, and then wear the others on occasion - depending on whether or not they look good on me. I have about a half dozen of those (I call them my "wearables" lol), which aren't pictured above. In addition to those, I have a really cool Funk 49 shirt that I wear as a short nightgown because they only had one size when I got up to the stand - XXL.
I do take extra care with all my Eagles/Eagles-related t-shirts, though, even the ones I wear. I don't want them all stained and ripped up. Sadly, my favorite one - the "I Got Frey'd" top - is getting a bit frayed at the edges because I wear it more than the others.
It's a Catch 22 - the more I like it, the more I want to wear it, the sooner it gets worn out, the sooner I don't have it anymore. Thus, the very ones I want most to keep are the ones that I wind up having for the least amount of time.
[quote=sodascouts;173719]I was sorting through my multitude of Eagles and Eagle-related T-shirts - I try to purchase one with dates from every tour I attend - and I realized that I am missing the following:

I'm 99.9% sure I have an extra one (or 3). Let me check my stock pile and I'll send you a care package!
As I was looking at your collection, I was remembering some of the stories that go along with the concerts. One that I remember rather vividly was the Minnesota date for Glenn- wasn't that the one that you had such trouble getting to due to the flooding?

Soda, what a cool collection of t-shirts!
I wear a couple of mine that I really like, but most of them are collectibles. If the ones I wear get too frayed, they will go in to the collectible bin. I could never get rid of an Eagles shirt!

1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
I wear all of mine except for the oldest, the 1995 HFO shirts. I still have those but I 'retired' them from being worn. I also had to retire a Party Of Two shirt that I was sent. I am wearing an LROOE shirt today from 2008 (the one where they are standing in the sand dunes, slightly similar to the one HH gave Soda) but this is a shirt I ordered from eaglesband.com & is not one of my tour shirts. I have the two 'Tour 2010' shirts; the dates consist of 'Perth/Sydney/Brisbane/Melbourne'. I have the Prelude To Obscurity shirt because Molly was very sweet & sent me one.
I also have two sweatshirts I got from eaglesband.com & two hoodies I got on the 2010 tour.
That is a very impressive tee shirt collection, Soda. I'm like you, I don't wear tee shirts because they aren't flattering to me at all - I used to buy them all the time, but I stopped since I never wore them. I do have a few baby doll style tees that I wear because they look much better on me. The ones I wear most are two just like the ones Soda posted - Glenn's black and yellow Prelude to Obsurity shirt and the pale green CMA shirt. Now that the Eagles have started selling the baby doll style shirts, I will definitely buy one for the 40th anniversary tour though.
