Dropkick Murphy's Tartan? Rocky's been holding out...

[McMurdo]

I have been waiting forever to see this, is it an open tartan, or would it be frowned upon for anyone outside the band to wear?

Take a look at Rocky's post on page one.

Since it's a copyrighted design, you'll have to get approval from me and (MORE-SO) the band to purchase it.

Once it IS available for purchase, it will be available for ANYONE to wear, no matter, race, creed, color, "band status", etc...

We'll try to wait patiently?!?

Sean of the Dropkick Murphys Merch department made the mistake of coming to the Irish Festival here in Massachusetts. I started giving him an earful about the tartan, and the band should wear it for performances as well as allow fans to order semi-traditional kilts custom made in it through the website, etc... I was kilted at the time, it was a very rainy Friday night and the only other people coming into the tent were not aware of DKM! I had fun introducing the concept of Celtic Punk to them. Sean moved a few items to them, CD's and T-shirts. As the festival was about to close for the night three young men wandered into the tent, asking if I was wearing the DKM tartan! I had to point out that it was the County Donegal tartan, although I would certainly wear the DKM tartan, as soon as it became available. Two of them said that they would wear kilts if they could get DKM tartan. I gave them a card with this website as well as Rocky's. Sean got questioned by them about the possibility of the tartan coming out soon.
I worked the genealogy tent for The Irish Ancestral Research Association of which I am a member on Sunday the whole day. I sent every kilted man that came in to our tent over to ask Sean about the tartan. Maybe
