We have now gotten a US Made and Union shop to sell us BAT shirts in all designs at a low cost.
Bumper stickers are coming soon and we hope to add more shirt types (tank, polo) if there is interest in the t-shirts!

BA from Marian University in Indianapolis in 1997. MA from Nova Southeastern University in 2011. I was born and raised in Columbus, so I am a Buckeye in all but my schooling!
