DescriptionMan's white cotton T-shirt from the Medspan Classic 5K race, August 2, 2001. The T-shirt has a round neckline bound in a fine machine-knit ribbing. The short sleeves and bottom edge are hemmed by turning up the fabric once and machine-stitching. The logo from this race is printed on the front in purple, yellow, turquoise, dark red and black. The design is of an abstracted runner in tank top and shorts, with arms upraised, one hand holding a briefcase; on one side of the runner is the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch in Bushnell Park and on the other is the Goodwin Place building. A sun design is in the top left corner. Printed above the logo is "MEDSPAN" and below the logo is "CLASSIC 5K." On the left side, running up vertically, is "AUGUST 2, 2001," and on the right side, running down vertically is "HARTFORD, CT." At the bottom appears: "Galli & Amodio 2001."

On the back, printed in black are the sponsors: "MedSpan Health Options / EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFERENT / Kiss95.7 CONNECTICUT'S HOTTEST HITS NBC 30 CONNECTICUT / The Hartford Courant / Connecticut Light & Power The Northeast Utilities System / HARBORSIDE HEALTHCARE / Robert Half International Inc."

NotesHistorical Note: This shirt was worn by Kevin Hughes when he ran the Medspan Classic 5K race on 2 August 2001 in Hartford, Connecticut.
