THis description of a Breakdown shirt being sold by punkaag is so good that I am going to leave it here in it’s entirety.
“BREAKDOWN T- SHIRT
Each shirt I own has a story and I have taken some time to share it with you. Please give it a read.
I am not a store, this is selling right out of my closet!Band: BREAKDOWN

Why you need to rock this shirt: MAN, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL NYHC BAND RIGHT HERE… SAME GUYS FROM OTHER STAPLE BANDS, COLD FRONT, CROWN OF THORNZ, SKARHEAD … Fans of Sheer Terror and Maximum Penalty need only apply ; )
Where did this come from: MY OTHER HALF DESIGNED THIS SHIRT AND TOURED WITH THE BAND. MIKE IS HIS LONGTIME BUDDY. THIS SHIRT WAS HOT OFF THE PRESS!
Color: WHITE

Why the breakup? OH MAN THIS IS A SAD ONE TO PART WITH. THIS SHIRT HASN’T FIT SINCE PROBABLY SINCE THE EARLY 90’s BUT I’VE HELD ONTO IT, IN MY CLOSET, FOR YEARS AND YEARS AS A TOKEN OF A GREAT TIME AND AN EVEN BETTER SCENE.
Shirt issues: THE SCREEN PRINTING ON THIS SHIRT IS EXCELLENT CONDITION. PLEASE SEE CLOSE UPS. THE PRINT REALLY HASN’T FADED OR CHECKERED, WHICH IS CRAZY TO EVEN CONCEIVE AS A CONCEPT — THIS IS A NYHC SHIRT THAT IS LIKE 20 YEARS OLD! HAHA.
I DO HAVE TO TELL YOU THERE IS SOME DISCOLORATION IN THE UNDERARMS AREA. WHAT I DID IS HOLD THE SHIRT UP TO THE LIGHT AND TAKE A PHOTO OF IT THAT WAY. I’M NOT SURE THIS EVEN MATTERS TO ANYONE BUT WE’RE HONEST PEOPLE AND WANT YOU TO SEE IT AS IF YOU WERE HERE HOLDING IT UP YOURSELF> Remainder of Shirt is very surprisingly white and great shape!!”
That my friends is how you sell a t-shirt.
I always loved this shirt, especially the choice of colors. However, I must say, that panel graphic on the front always warranted a head scratch or two. Let me get this straight once and for all: he’s standing on the edge of a building overlooking Gotham like Batman, zoom in on his frowning face, zooms out just a bit where he now appears to be scratching his head, and the last one he is jumping off the building while throwing a fist? Is that right?
I like how the seller mentions a “thunder cloud and lightning bolt” as their favorite part. Uh, your favorite part is actually an alien space craft, dude.
Dude, this shirt has it all!
i have the reprint of this shirt, i love aliens!!
