A few years back, maybe 2002 or 2003, my friend happened to come across an older dude with a giant pile of crucial merch. Amongst a huge bag of demos, zines and tshirts, there lay 2 tshirt screens. Those screens were for the Bold Join The Fight tee.
We screened these shirts up for Posi #s 2004. Too differentiate these from any original tees, we screened “How’s Your Edge?” on the sleeve. You know how ttd/hye feels about bootleg tees. We gave a bunch out, sold the rest. Kids seemed genuinely psyched to get them. I was glad for that.
Years later, Bold would reprint these shirts. Good looks.
The seller of this particular tee did something a little out of the ordinary with his.
These shirts were remade around Posi #s 2004 (the one in the maze) and I scooped one up there. It had a sleeve print noting this, but I removed it professionally. Great looking remake that is exactly like the original, but not an original. Very cool, and from what I know totally on the up and up as far as reprinting it with approval. Great shirt but I can’t stand to see it go unworn. Some young edgemen should score this and make it a weekly wear. JOIN. THE. FIGHT. (i still like Bold, 4ever.)
Now that’s hardcore.
So they are noting that it is a boot however they remove the evidence. Thus proving nothing.
Proving nothing? Not sure about that. I applaud their honesty. This seller could have attempted to pass it off as “OG” but did not. That’s morally straight!
i think i have one of the two XLs made…bmurph could correct me on that. still have this shirt sans the HYE sleeve print (it’s good to know people who run screen printing shops) and still wear it from time to time. great shirt!
this one is bootleg or original??
