Our Favorite Lineman T-Shirts

Oct. 17, 2014
The 2021 International Lineman's Rodeo is set to happen in two weeks in the KC area. Here is a look back at a lineworker favorite: trade night from 2014.

Power linemen from all over the country and beyond descended on Overland Park, Kansas with their families and duffel bags full of T-Shirts. It's one of the most anticipated events at the International Lineman's Rodeo. 

Each shirt was more elaborate than the next as these shirts are a source of pride.

Many honor their unions or utilities. Others pay tribute to their fallen bretheren. But all are designed to impress and be a hot trading item.

The crowd quickly established their favorites and we got some fun photos of T-Shirts that caught our eye. 

Check out the trading frenzy in this Hyperlapse video:
