Here are two ads published a week apart in Billboard Magazine in June 1974.

Anyone know what the font’s called! I believe it's an "ad-hoc" font created for that. I was looking for it because I wanted to reprint some of those t-shirt... I couldn't find it anywhere, I just found similar fonts but not exact. So I recreated it in high resolution with graphics software. I also recreated some of the most famous t-shirts of them just for personal use. Here are some samples that I did (these are in a smaller format): ![]() Attachments:

That's good to know – I searched high and low for it once upon a time and never came up wth the goods.
Used to have a Caribou Ranch T-shirt when I was in my 20s – same logo, grey cotton – and would have loved a BBs one with the similar feel. Classics.

Those logos are based on a font, but are probably hand-lettered, especially the swashes. I haven't figured out the source font either, but the best place to find it would be in an old graphic design book from the era, one of the kind that shows fonts with the entire alphabet.
