Excitement is in the air at Vindolanda as we unveil the new official t-shirt for our dedicated excavation volunteers. Responding to numerous inquiries from our followers about the color and design of this season's apparel, we are thrilled to announce that we’ve chosen a vibrant green for our volunteers working on the site.
The chosen shade of green not only stands out beautifully against the lush backdrop of the Northumberland countryside but also symbolizes the vibrant and lively spirit of the excavation team. The t-shirt, which features a detailed white print of the Vindolanda site map and text highlighting the role of an "Excavation Volunteer," has been designed to last through the entirety of the Scheduled Monument Consent, covering the next five years.
This decision ensures that the t-shirts will become a familiar sight at the site, embodying the continuity and enduring commitment of our volunteers. Each volunteer sporting this t-shirt becomes a moving part of Vindolanda’s landscape, easily recognizable and part of a larger narrative of archaeological discovery.
The photo accompanying this announcement captures one of our volunteers hard at work, showcasing the practical and stylish aspects of the new apparel. The t-shirts are not only a badge of honor, representing the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, but they also foster a sense of unity and belonging among the team.
For those who admire the design but are not part of the dig, there’s good news. A similar t-shirt in white, featuring the green design, will soon be available for purchase. This initiative offers our global community of history enthusiasts and supporters a way to feel connected to the ongoing efforts at Vindolanda, even from afar.
Keep an eye on our updates, as we will soon announce the availability of the white t-shirt. Whether you're digging in the dirt or supporting us from your part of the world, there’s a way for everyone to wear their support for Vindolanda proudly.
Stay tuned and keep supporting archaeology at Vindolanda!
