There are a few staple shirts in hardcore that every coreman needs in his wardrobe. Most of these shirts pass on and on and on as time passes and people move on. The shirts stay the same, but the people change. You have your youth crew classics, west coast weirdness and always, always something NYHC related.
Here is a blue chip shirt that has emerged as a staple in the last 5 years or so. Cro-Mags Best Wishes 1989 tour DOWN BUT NOT OUT shirt. Dudes go crazy for this shirt.
I am going to admit here in public that Best Wishes doesn’t do anything for me. Age of Quarrel is life changing, and that is where I stop listening to the Cro-Mags. Closed minded? Sure. But I likes, what I likes.
