Girl seeks Green Latern shirt for long walks on beach.

My husband has finally worn his favorite t-shirt into the ground and since he loves it possibly more than me, I need to replace it so some of the affection for the shirt rubs off in my general direction.

It's a Green Latern shirt, the design is super common, but the special part is the insignia *glows in the dark* (oooh, ahhh.)

I have searched online, comic cons, stores, all to no avail. I need the thing in an XXL and I'm starting to think they just don't make it anymore.

So..

1) Does anybody know what company/ brand originally made this?
2) Does anybody work for a store or know a store still selling glow in the dark ones of these?

I'm willing to pay a premium for the thing and even buy multiples so I don't go through this again when the washing machine eventually consumes it.

Thanks!

    There are about a hundred million green lantern shirts out there but not a one that glows in the dark from what I can find.

    Not that I know anything about this, but if you can't find the original shirt, is it possible to dye or to sew on some luminous glow in the dark material and recreate the effect for yourself?

    A quick google turned this up, don't know whether it helps:

    Oooh! I know.

    If you still have the old shirt around, perhaps the glow in the dark part of it could be affixed to a new shirt?

    If it comes down to it, you should be able to find a place that does custom screenprinting on t-shirts...

    I've used glow-in-the-dark paint on fabric before and as long as you get stuff that's made for fabric and give it plenty of time to dry it'll work great (ie, not run in the wash). I don't know if any of the stuff from glowinc would work but it should be pretty easy to find some that will at any local costume shop.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Hmm, I hadn't considered custom screenprinting. That might just work. Anybody know a print shop that does glow in the dark screen printing? What about the copyright issues? Is that something a custom screenprinter handles?

    And I already tried to add a glow in the dark effect over a regular shirt, it failed- none of the paints seem to stick as well as the screen print did. And the original screen print is what is toast so I can't just move that to another shirt, unfortunately.

    My buddy owns one of these glow in the dark Green Lantern shirts you speak of. I'll make a point to ask him about it, and hopefully that gets us a lead on this case.

    I don't have one in that design, but I have a glow in the dark one with GL's fist with the ring on it.

    These are the big guns in the comic-book shirt industry.
