Rest assured, if you can’t make the shows, all of this gear will be available from the webstore as soon as we can get it sorted.

The stock from the old store will be added over time, as well as completely new gear, but we’re starting off with the stock from the last tour and amongst the other bits and pieces, including Gemma’s winning tour shirt design, there are a small number (and we’re talking single figures of some items) of the Limited Edition Footy Shirts and Signed Art Prints.

These are not new versions, and there won’t be any more when they’re gone, but it turns out we rationed a bit too well and London left its wallet in its other trousers, so there’s a chance for anyone who missed out to get hold of these highly limited items.

So, without further ado, here it all is:

Limited Edition Chutzpah! Footy Shirt - This is a fully functional, top of the line football shirt using the latest ClimaTec technical fabric - er, it says here - and I'm sure all you footy fans will know just how great that is!

This will be a strictly limited edition run for the duration of the tour and ONLY available at the gigs. Once they’re gone they’re gone, so buy early!

Limited Edition Tour Poster - These really are very limited. To only 300 in fact! A proper Art Print on heavy stock paper! If you’re lucky the odd signed one may find its way into the pile!

Please note, the response and feedback to the Football Shirts and Art Prints has been incredible, so… we have listened to your fears and to make sure everyone has an even chance at getting their hands on these items the stock will be split across all shows. So there WILL be shirts and prints at your show, even if it’s the grand finale in London you’re going to! Get ‘em early though as it’s still a case of you snooze you lose.

Competition Winning Shirt - Gemma and Jason Turner's fantastic design which was hand-picked by the band!

New Smiley Tour T-Shirt – Smiley Bones is reborn for 09, if you can 're-dux' Star Wars we can 're-dux' Smiley Bones!

New Smiley Girlie – Ladies, we know that if you're coming to the show you are already sex on legs and there's little we can do to add to your glow of perfection, but we've tried!

Lightning Bolt Sweat Band – You'll never be a future Wimbledon failed quarter-finalist without one.

Chutzpah! Mug – Dishwasher friendly and scientifically proven to make tea and coffee taste 30% better. Also just what you need to catch the eye of that new secretary who started at work the other day.

Logo Bottle Opener Keyring – Never look like a tramp knocking the tops of bottles on the edge of a table again. This little beauty means you can now decant beer wherever you go and the logo is beautifully etched so you look classy doing it!

Saltyrockz.com – the brainchild of former Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and Raw editor Howard Johnson – features all-original band shots from top rock snappers, rock slogans and cool designs, with everything created exclusively for the site by Wildhearts T-shirt designer Andy Hunns.

“I’ve known Ginger for a long, long time,’ explains Johnson. ‘We once went to retrogression therapy together years ago. I can’t remember what I was in a previous life, but I think Ginger reckoned he was a highwayman! Anyway, when I told him I was launching Saltyrockz with his old Geordie pal Hunnsy he really wanted to support us. And he loves what we’re doing! He looks good in his Rick Nielsen shirt, too – topped off with some very fetching deeley boppers!”

“Because we’re all rock fans at Saltyrockz every shirt has to be something we’d wear ourselves,” explains designer Hunnsy. “That’s the acid test for every design.”

You can check out the full range of original Saltyrockz tee shirts at the SaltyRockz website

It is early days for us so please be gentle, we have just a few items up online for now and it’s new water for us; we hope if it proves successful to start adding new lines very soon, so the only way for that to happen is to get shopping!

Note some items are quite rare and on sale for the first time to people outside of the US (including children’s shirts) so get in there quick! We also hope to bring you some of the more difficult to obtain Ginger releases real soon so please keep popping back for updates!
