Anyone have a pic of the transfer that came with the bass ? The bird has a bent wing and is "playing" the Tbird.

I may still have one downstairs. I bought two in 2005 and put one on a shirt but it was so old it didn't transfer well. I put the other one away. I'll look for it tonight.

I would love to see that too. I have one '76 that I bought new, the one in my avatar, and I have a vague recollection of a transfer (most of my recollections from the 70s are vague..:)), but I have no idea now what it looked like.

I'd also like to see that.  It could be scanned and easily turned into a DIY transfer.  They must have discontinued them by '77.

George, if you could somehow post the graphic here, I could probably create  a new vector-based, hi-res file from it.

No pressure............................but I am going to have my Tbird tat redone Thursday and could use this a starting off point. I was thinking of having a NR and a reverse X (crossed) under the Tbird logo.

Cool - and thanks!
BTW, interesting how they didn't use an illustration of the Bicentennial in the artwork ???

That's better than the one I had, which looked more faded. Thanks for posting that!

I've never tried to transfer it to cloth because I was afraid it would ruin it. I think they are too old to work properly anymore. I'd like to do something with it, but I have no idea what.

It would be cool if someone with good photoshop skills could make a good clean copy of this.
