Tools & T-Shirt Tuesday: Give a Shirt and Get a Shirt

Oct. 12, 2020

Thanks to support from the ILRA and Lineman Barn, we will be giving away 100 limited edition T-shirts for LIneman Celebration Week.

Amy Fischbach

On International Lineman's Rodeo Trade Night, linemen and their families carry duffel bags, boxes and backpacks of T-shirts to trade with their friends in the line trade.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be able to gather at the 2020 Trade Night, but we can still celebrate the spirit of the Rodeo during Lineman Celebration Week. To mark this special week from Oct. 12 to 18, 2020, T&D World worked with a designer to create a limited edition, long-sleeved black T-shirt. The colorful design will be unveiled on our Web site and on social media on Tools & T-Shirt Tuesday, which is sponsored by Jelco and Bierer Meters.

"Give a Shirt and Get a Shirt" by uploading a photo of one of your past Rodeo T-shirts to our online form along with your shipping address and preferred T-shirt size (L, XL or 2XL).

Thanks to support from the International LIneman's Rodeo Association and Lineman Barn, we will be able to ship T-shirts to the first 100 respondents to our online form at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/0bcced38dfcb4c1fa3943d5f6b4f3a34

To participate:

1. Give a short description of the T-shirt and the year it was made.

2. Upload a photo of your T-shirt design.

3. Enter your shipping address.

We will also be featuring some of the T-shirt designs from past Rodeos in our "Virtual Trade Night" video, which will be posted on our Web site on Tools & T-Shirt Tuesday.

Thank you for your participation in Lineman Celebration Week. If you have any questions or need assistance with the online form, please email Field Editor Amy Fischbach.
