I was at a GL concert years ago in Greensboro NC and inquired of someone there as to the T-shirts, etc. I gotta admit his reply was pretty funny: "Hey man, you looked at this crowd? Most of 'em are a little too old to look that good in a T-shirt."
I did manage to talk a record store manager into selling me, for 10 bucks, a black and white poster where Gord was wearing a sheepskin-lined vest or something. It's long gone.
But I'll bet a Massey Hall T-shirt or sweatshirt with something "Lightfoot" on it would be a seller. I remember talking with some folks from Martin guitar a couple of years back, who said limiting the Gordon Lightfoot D-18 to 61 total was a huge mistake. They could have sold a few hundred, because Gord's fan base is getting a little old and has some disposable income.
