Great Southern Company
A comprehensive resource of defunct t-shirt labels manufactured prior to the year 2000.
Brand #16: Great Southern Company
Circulation: Fairly Common
Era: 1970s-1992
Information: The GSC emerged out of Macon Georgia in the early 1970s as one of the world’s first entertainment merchandising companies. By the 1980s the tag was found on many band tees (most commonly Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and ZZ Top) as well as movie t-shirts. In 1992 the company was bought out by Polygram Records.
GSC may have used a generic unbranded tag prior to the 1980s because we have yet to see anything other than the above version of their tag.

![[ LINK IN BIO ] In honor of May the 4th we connected with a gentleman named Shawn whose father, Ira, worked for ILM. He designed the Biker Scout, need we say more? Shawn shared an epic tale of a bootleg Star Wars tee his dad heroically stashed away despite George Lucas' attempt to have it destroyed.

RIP Ira Keeler. Long live the resistance.

OMG I also worked out of LA for a company called Gift peddlers that were the sales reps for Great southern. I knew Ira that was the head dude but mainly hung with his son. Can’t remember his name. Best job I ever had.
