Pet de Kat Krewe merch: Shirts, mugs and other KatWear
Our first krewe T-shirt design was created in 1993. A dozen shirts were printed and given away to some friends. Something we never envisioned happened. Dozens of people stopped us asking where to get a PDKK shirt. The festive kitty on this shirt suddenly became the unofficial logo of the Pet de Kat Krewe.
Since 1993, the krewe produced original festive t-shirts for many years. These shirts have a magical effect when worn at concerts, festivals or simply walking on the riverwalk. Someone may yell out "Where Y'at! Pet De Kat!" when they see you sporting a PDKK shirt. Meet old friends and make new ifriends when n one of your krewe shirts.
