T-shirts and patches have long been the obvious options for people wanting to declare their love for a band, but Grateful Dead fans are a whole different breed. The iconic logos (dancing bears and skeletons to name a few) can be found on everything from sweatpants, to bracelets to… swaddle blankets.

For the diehard fans, though, the ones who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the quirkiest version of something, there is Etsy.
