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.
