I assume that's Donald Trump Jr. -- I heard about his eyes.
These eyes have seen a lot of lovin' but they're never gonna a see another woman like I had in you
These eyes...ARE CYRIN'!

I don't think so. I think it's Jr. at the Republican National Convention, right?
I wouldn't know. I haven't watched a lick of it. My politics are not predictably American liberal, but that doesn't mean I want to see any bit of the Republicans currently.

I wish I had a Gorky Park shirt to whip out. Perhaps another Velvet Underground shirt that influenced the '68 Czechs will do.
Related.....I've always enjoyed looking through thrift stores for vintage stuff. I just started buying any concert t shirt I could find for like $3 each. Started a bin in the attic and eventually I'll be able to make millions selling them on ebay at huge markups for guys who geek out on nostalgia!

Pretty sure I bought Ocean Blue tickets a year and a half ago and finally got to see them in West Palm Beach last night. The venue was a dump with weird angles everywhere, but the band sounded great. Next stop is The English Beat (some of them anyway) with the Fixx in Clearwater on 10/22.

But did you buy a shirt and upload a picture of you wearing the shirt to the internet for us goons to look at?

#### no!
Only concert shirts I’ve bought in 20 years are New Order/Joy Division, PIL, and The Church (Starfish tour)

That's what this thread is all about! The shirts! Glad to hear your story, of course, but check the title.

Don't use Amazon. Stuff can be low quality unless it's official merch from the band and amazon will tell you if it is. If it looks even remotely Chinese or copyrighted, unless the band gives it their stamp of approval, don't order it.
The stores are all mostly hit or miss, I've found. It's varying quality. Check the band's merch section on their website for the official, best stuff.
That's all I can tell you.

Yeah I hear you on the stores - very hit or miss and not easy to get trustable reviews. The band’s official merch stuff is undoubtedly best, but also tends to be very pricey.
rockaction
Footballguy
This is true. But there are certain Amazon things — like when it says official band merch — that you can trust its license. So be wary. Just shop safely and conscientiously and you’ll get it right.

It's also nice when the musician is getting a cut. The best shirts are the ones that help a band make gas money to travel to the next show.
On the other hand, this place has some cool designs.

Thanks, Ee, and I agree on bands cutting a cut.

I never listened to the bands but I would kill for some 3 quarter length 80s metal tees now. Dress up like it’s school picture day at the tech high school.

This thread inspired me and I found quite a find. Daft Punk is selling a t shirt or two right now. They're usually limited, and this is a pre-order deal. Just for all the fashion heads/collaborative heads out there.
I ordered the "Give Life Back To Music" shirt and the Logo shirt.
Daft Punk is coming to my house/my house. It'll probably be outrageous on the resale should I go that route. It's awfully hard to get merch from the band. They sell everything out quickly. (Or they did. I wonder what demand is like now in 2023.)

Redbubble has a variety of shirt qualities, if my memory serves me correctly.

None of that money goes to the artist. It's copyright infringement, and it's a bootleg. I have Redbubble shirts when bands won't sell merch or their merch is defunct or impossible to get, but that's about it.

My bad.
rockaction
Footballguy
Sorry about that. That sounded terse. It's just something I've noticed and I can't figure out how they get around copyright infringement.

Depends on if it matches or clashes. Let's see the tattoo while you're uploading, man. I am temperamentally opposed to tattoos, but I'm curious to see what you got.

I’m hoping for some sort of “Shukedown Street” lettering.

Not a huge band shirt guy but have a few in the rotation
Blackberry Smoke - like a skeleton with a beard
Tool - have one from like late 90s early 00s, it’s pretty frayed and small on me but I can’t part with it.
Have a sweet Tool hoodie I wear quite a bit (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7YuME-ycrgHZuCe0r88DLc-xjF6rzO50E6g&usqp=CAU)

Oh wow, man. That's a futuristic Dead tattoo.

Futuristic?
rockaction
Footballguy
Yeah, I was expecting something like the Steal Your Face logo. You went for a more granite and rose-colored looking tatoo. The designs of the Dead are a bit retro when you look at them today. That isn't.
Maybe futuristic isn't the best word for it. I wouldn't know it was the Dead unless I knew what you were going for. Which is actually a bonus in my book.

That's really intricate the more I look at it. Cool.

Yes, it was way beyond my expectations.
