Carlos Gilbert Merch

We have some great Carlos Gilbert gear! Get your stuff at the online shop :)

The one-of-a-kind tie-die t-shirts were hand-dyed by a couple of awesome PTK volunteers and are available in a nice range of sizes.

There are terrific baseball caps and some wild color-changing cups. Chilly lately? Pick up a nice Blackhawks zipper sweatshirt! AND more! New: YETI Tumblers and $5 Water Bottles
