Excellent condition Vintage Kanye West School Spirit Tour 2004 T-Shirt. Royal Blue Size XXL. I worked for FTKonline. Com, we designed and printed the merchandise for the first 2 Kanye West albums. This t-shirt is from the School Spirit Tour. These tees were printed on early 2000s Alstyle (AAA) tees. This tee has a few spots on the right side (as shown in pic) and very light cracking on front graphic (due to age).
