Buy Kankakee Shirts online soon ... Downtown now


In just the first few days of mykankakeeshirt.com I have had a number of requests by those who want to have their own shirt. Of course, you can make your own but soon you will also have a way to buy shirts online.

If you live in the Kankakee area you can buy shirts at the Unity Skateshop on Court Street in downtown Kankakee or you can e-mail me (Bill Yohnka, unofficial Kankakee Ambassador) at byohnka@juno.com or call me at 815.933.7478.

Johnny Irion, a Kankakee Shirt and Willie

Johnny Irion is seen here jamming with Willie Nelson all while sporting his Kankakee shirt. This is my original hand crafted shirt that I traded with Johnny when his father-in-law (Arlo Guthrie) and family visited Kankakee in December of 2005. This shirt is a standard issue baseball shirt with letters that I cut out of iron-on blue jean patch material. Johnny and his wife Sarah Lee Guthrie are very talented, please check them out if you get the chance.

Bob and a warthog

My brother Bob is in Zambia with his wife Michelle. Here Bob shows off his Kankakee shirt with a warthog during a camping trip. Bob and Michelle are from Kankakee and are working with Emory University on an AIDS research project.
