I think furyofzane is confused. He claims this Sick Of It All is original, but I find that hard to believe. The story goes like this. This shirt design was screened in the late 80s and brought to a gig at the Anthrax (I do believe). It was a rush job and they didn’t get heat set properly. The club was packed and the shirts sold like hot cakes. Most kids wore their new tees through out the show. Of course, the heat, sweat and humidity didn’t help these tshirts. Most designs sweated off that day. White tees became grey smears. That’s the other thing. This shirt came in two colors. Black tee with white ink and white shirt with black ink. What you are looking at here is a white tshirt with RED ink. That is not black ink at all. This could mean a few things.
1) This is a boot. Perhaps an older boot, but still a boot.
2) SOIA reprinted these shirts at some point.
No idea. Lets see if we can get someone to chime in with the answer. If you are looking for confirmed legit merch, hit up the bands Merch Direct store.
