Hello, I have an unusual button up shirt. I cannot find any information about it online, nor can I find anything stating that its an official shirt. Hopefully someone knows something lol its a really sweet shirt.

Very nice shirt! I have never seen that one exactly, but the embroidery of the Silicon Graphics logo looks very similar to other SGI employee clothing. I would guess that it is original?
 
I'm hoping it is original. I went on Wikipedia, and SGI bought Cray in February of 1996. The Nintendo 64 was released in June of 96 with SGI working on the development of the N64. So I'd reason that this shirt is from a time in between Feb and June. I wonder if its a dev shirt from the N64 team, and if so why was Cray on there?
 
I don't think Cray was related to the N64 project but it was probably just some transitional phase for the corporate branding, with a big new acquisition on hand. Happens all the time with acquisitions.
 
Gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. I'm glad I was able to pick this shirt up, it was found in a thrift store for $1.99

I have also an SGI/Cray shirt. Bought many years ago and still have it in my wardrobe.
Also could not find anything in internet about it but I know it is original. I think it was only short time available and used internally.
Yes, I know, it needs some ironing ;)
