that's a nice collection if they're not modern repros. i'm not invested in the authenticity of the person wearing the old-timey shirt, just the shirt itself. i always wanna look at the tags; if it's screen stars or spring ford then good job wearing that shirt, whoever you are.
also if a band has cool t-shirts that everybody likes but only a select few can appreciate the music maybe that's the band's fault one way or the other.
― slugbuggy, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 09:19 (ten years ago) link
or maybe the fact that the music is appreciated by a select few is the very thing that makes everybody like the t-shirt.

i mean, there's nothing particularly interesting about that new order t-shirt, for example, except that it's a new order t-shirt.

some nasty bootleg t-shirt aesthetic going on there, takes me back to going round basingstoke market on a wet saturday - the smell of the fish stall, odd bits of rotting fruit and veg on the ground, dodging the strangely oily puddles in your soggy old trainers

yeah they're mostly similarly shaped/ sized v-necks, probably all the same contemporary repro fashion company using the same blanks. assumed the new order at least was real for the reasons mentioned; there are more iconic images to reproduce that would sell better.
tru more often than not, but i was thinking about this idea:
Pop kids these days wear Motorhead or Ramones t-shirts the same way that pop kids wore Bauhaus or Siouxsie and the Banshees t-shirts in the 80s - sometimes, when I'd confront people on it, they'd admit that they weren't even aware that these images/logos were for bands - they just thought that they were logos in the same way as wearing an Ocean Pacific t-shirt was in the 80s (hey, look at me, I'm a cool surfer chick, even though I live 1000 miles from the nearest ocean).
or
Wear a Tshirt of some band you never heard and when quizzed on it talk at length about the sleeve designer and say are you a fan of their work then
the design aesthetic overlaps the music but also exists as its own thing, so the cure logotype or the pc&l cover or whatever become as zeitgeisty as a keith haring image and ends in themselves rather than just functioning as signifiers of a band and the community that surrounds it. i figure if a band exists as a purveyor of visual imagery as well as musical expressions then some people are just going to interact on that level and why wouldn't they if it's good design.

The real problem with that Darkthrone-shirted keyboard dude above is the hat. It just... doesn't work. You're not allowed to wear a hat like that with a Darkthrone t-shirt.

At a quick glance I thought this was a Sandman t-shirt! Did the band copy the comic, or the other way around? (Yeah, I know Cure existed long before Sandman, but in this particular image the singer dude looks almost exactly like the protagonist of the comic.)

Well yeah, I know what he looks like, but I meant that particular image in the t-shirt. A drawn image with black eyes + completely white skin + blue robes makes him look exactly like Morpheus. What year is the t-shirt from?

It's super easy to trade up towards ever-more-rocking and authentic stuff like punk and metal. I would also like to see some punk or metal dude wearing a 80s Madonna tour shirt or something.

There's a photo above (or there was at one time) of the band Death where one of the guys is wearing a Blondie shirt.
And a video of that noted death metaller Bob Weir wearing a Madonna shirt.

Lots of punk people like Madonna. That's a fairly easy target to aim for - someone like Tiffany or Sonia would be 'weirder'.
