Lynyrd Skynyrd was of course Ronnie Van Zant's band, and today the flame is kept alive by the great Gary Rossington, but head back in time to the mid 70s when Lynyrd Skynyrd were at the peak of their powers and it was the Firebird toting Allen Collins that provided the band's true rock n' roll heart, as well as co-writing many of Lynyrd Skynyrd's greatest moments, including Freebird . For Allen Collins was Lynyrd Skynyrd's real rock star, which is why we love this Allen Collins T-shirt.
