New aloha shirt postcard stamps available starting today
This U.S. Postal Service image shows one of the five new aloha shirt design postcard stamps being released today.
The Postal Service is issuing a new 32-cent stamp featuring aloha shirts in five designs today .
Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Postal Service Honolulu District Manager Frank Santos will officially dedicate the stamps at 2:30 p.m. at the Honolulu Airport Post Office.
Two of the five classic shirts depicted in the stamp art showcase surfers and their boards; one shows fossil fish, shells, and sea stars; another shows a tropical flower known as the bird of paradise; and one shows the Kilauea volcano.
Art director Carl T. Herrman designed these stamps using photographs by Ric Noyle.
The stamps, which cover the cost of mailing a postcard, will go on sale starting today in self-adhesive panes of 20 stamps and a coil of 100.
Stamps can be purchased online at usps.com and should also be available at local post offices.
