Where can I find a t-shirt w/ the Vernors gnome on it?
Answers:
Check on Vernor's .com
They have lots of old collectibles .
I love it too but only get it when I visit relative outside of Detroit.It makes the trip worth while.
Do they have a web site and if they do can you order one from there.?
IDK, sorry. I just looked all over the net, and cant seem to find one.
Id like to get my hands on one too though, i love Vernors. A good old fashioned Detroit pop.
Maybe look on ebay or cafepress.com
Could not find a t-shirt, but did find some interesting links. I was just drinking a vernor's today and was looking at the gnome and didn't realize that it was a gnome...
Here is the stuff (and links) that I found interesting:

Prohibition killed golden ginger ale. In the 1920's Americans were visiting illegal speakeasies in droves, and the cocktail was at the height of fashion Many soft drinks were used as a mix with alcohol, and there was even one specifically made to mix with alcohol. It was called "dry" ginger ale (colorless, almost tasteless, and less sweet than golden ginger ale). During prohibition, dry ginger ale became immensely popular. However, golden ginger ale quickly fell off in popularity, as all forms of ginger ale would become associated with liquor in the non-drinking public's mind.
Vernor's was one of the few golden ginger ales to survive. While other golden ginger ales where losing sales in dramatic numbers, Vernors was growing by leaps and bounds and even started selling their extract to other bottlers.
