Indulge me in a frivolous Queen quirk of mine. Basically for a long while I’ve been on a semi-quest to find a half decent version of the ‘Flash’ Tshirt. I’ve been disappointed a few times by either shit quality or something about it not looking quite right.
Anyway, I purchased one from the following link, and it’s easily the best. So if anyone else happens to be on a similar search, then it comes highly recommend.
(Keep in mind I can’t vouch for any of the other Tshirts though. ...having said that I am tempted by the ‘Bike it’ one!)
I've always been bemused why there is a different typeface on the 'flash' t shirts (like this and the one Freddie used to wear) to the 'Flash Gordon' film logo (and which is used on the official Queen t shirts)

So I took the punt a bought the 'Bike It' Tshirt, and I have to say, it's pretty damn good.
I'm not sure there's a more obscure, but still very Queen, Tshirt? Even die hard fans might struggle to place it. There in lies its charm.
As for the Flash logo, as far as I'm aware, the logo on the Tshirt (as opposed to the film/soundtrack logo) was meant to be derived from the comics. Thus the little accent on the 'A'. Apparently it wasn't modern looking enough to market a film around. Anyway, I seem to remember something like that from an interview with the director many years ago now.

They very often fuck up on the lightening strike on the back infact most of the really cheap ones dont even bother with one

Well, this one is as acurate as I've seen. Including the lightning on the back. (I own 5 other Flash Tshirts from different sources....yes, I realise it's a stupid weakness. )
