Definitely 21-87. Arthur Lipsett was amazing. I would definitely buy that one right away. Not sure about the others (I would also buy a Nobody Waved Goodbye shirt and a Synchromy shirt, if you offered it).
Given the number of online views Blackfly gets, that one should be a no-brainer. And “About Puberty and Reproduction” has to be in there too.
I also vote for Waiting for Fidel and Street Musique.
All are brilliant, but I prefer ‘Adventures in History’….
These are really, really awesome.
Wow ! Keep up coming with these ! Are they all related to films ? Could be great to learn a bit more abour where they came from.

I want to buy the Street Musique tee!
The blackfly one is pretty cool, and I really like the 21-87 shirt too. The story goes that that film was a major influence for Star Wars, which is rather amazing considering that it is a collage film made out of various cutting-room leftovers.

I voted for the Waiting for Fidel t-shirt because I’d like to see someone wearing it. They are all pretty great.
OK. I now know half a dozen people who want “About puberty and reproduction” t-shirts. Please print them!
The favourite has to be “Blackfly”, nothing whatsoever to do with film references, but the sad fact that the little ** comes back for more, just when you think you’ve splatted him into oblivion…back he comes..angrier than ever.
My vote went to the Street Musique design, but the Blackfly one is very cool too (Ralph Steadman-esque). I’m not sure to what the “Prends-la! et filme-les…” design refers though. Maybe someone can explain it to me?
Loved Blackfly because it truly epitomizes Ontario living. Growing up in the north, this was very nostalgic for me!
They’re all pretty great, but I think “Adventures in History” is the only one I’d purchase immediately. I like “Street Musique” too, but “Adventures” is super-great.
Definitely Blackfly and Street Musique…!
I like the ‘Adventures in History’ tshirt the best. These shirts are all great, but I wish that the graphics were a little bit smaller.
how about “we are all… picasso” but with its french title “bozarts” instead/also available?!
that’s what my vote would go to!
I get a kick out of the Blackfly song, but I do not know if I could wear a shirt that endorses the little buggers.
Where’s the ‘Hockey Sweater’ shirt? I’d like the last page – with Carrier as a boy in the Church praying for the moths to come – as a shirt.
I like the Black fly we used to watch em in the bunkhouse up the remote BC coastline. funny
The Prends-la t-shirt is something I’d wear. At first you can’t see video camera but all you see is some goofy guy with bad hair and old bell bottoms. He’s telling you to take something but you don’t know then you realise what he’s saying. I just love his attire.
I can’t stress enough how deserving 21-87 is of a tshirt (anything to spread the gospel of Lipsett!) Plus, it is the coolest of the lot.
21-87, of course!
Liking the Street Musique most, you gotta get a couple Bill Mason tees though, I suggest the infamous stillframe shot from “solo whitewater”
“Adventures in History” is my pick.
I would wear it. (Why not have the NFB logo with the words written out, on the sleeve or back?)
I came here today after learning that Gilles Carle had passes away.
I am embarrased to say I do not know his films, but I will make the time to see some of them.
I have been lucky enought to work at a film library and to know a bit about the n.f.b. What a great website!
21-87. Arthur Lipsett was a genius.

No offense to the designers, but I would prefer a black shirt with the opening title to “21-87″ (skull with 21-87 lettering superimposed).
I think “Prends-la! et filme-les…” is a wonderful shirt design. Visually it upholds the unique films seen on NFB. The message says something important about filming our world, and it being in French says something about our culture. I would wear it ragged.
