Author	Topic: Products for sale with original NASA seal
Jouett Member Posts: 53 From: Fishers, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2016	posted 10-14-2016 12:46 PM Does anyone know if there are items out there that have the original NASA seal on them? I'm talking shirts, mugs, etc. And I'm not talking about items made back then but made today. While I'm asking, are there many original items out there that do have the original NASA seal on them (eBay)? Thanks!

In the four months that I've been into space, I always thought that the seal was the NASA logo and was transformed into the Meatball like in the 70s. Nice to know that the seal is still being used today. I think it looks really cool and very 50s\60s. Thanks Robert!
