Clever Kiwi Clothing

September 14, 2005 8:30 PM

Flight of the Conchords was just on TV, and I want their clothes.

Specifically, one of them was wearing a neat black shirt with a New Zealand logo on the front. The logo was eight triangles, alternating red and white, arranged in a square such that you could sort of see an "NZ" pattern in each half of the square. I have a NZ-obsessed friend who would love this shirt. Any ideas where I could track it down? I've browsed through the HBO forums and FotC community sites, but they're all rather anemic.

I think it's a Tee made by Huffer (as worn by Orlando Bloom, bless 'im) but I think it's probably out of print.

Best answer: I remember seeing the Tshirt you describe in a store here in Wellington called Area 51 - you can try emailing them - enquiries at areafiftyone dot co dot nz.
They ought to be able to confirm the brand, at least

Response by poster: Thanks, Catch; I emailed them and they were able to point me here, which is indeed the source of the shirt. Ah, the internet.

D'oh! Close at least. My pleasure, etc.

This was the logo for the NZ contingent at the 1974 commonwealth games. I can still remember drinking Milo out of my plastic commemorative mug emblazoned with this logo as a child.

There's one of those T's for sale on TradeMe right now.
