Years ago, when Firefly: Old Wounds was making its mark in the world of fan-produced audio drama, we held a T-shirt design contest—and Raymond Brown rode away with the prize. His winning design, “Pony Express,” became a wonderful piece of Old Wounds history: a gleaming metallic Western-inspired emblem that looked especially spectacular against a black shirt.

Now the Pony Express rides again!

We've restored Raymond's original concept for modern printing and brought it back as part of the new Mutual Merch shop, giving longtime listeners a chance to revisit a little piece of Sonic Society history—and newer listeners a chance to discover it for the first time. Some designs deserve another ride.

Welcome back, Pony Express!

For the graphic, I'd use the restored Pony Express emblem itself rather than a screenshot of the shirt. We already have our high-resolution transparent master, so next we can make a lightweight MAN News/Image Resource version from that without sacrificing the original.
