Funny story behind this tee.**
Champion made these tees up before hitting Australia (I think). You’ll notice the shirt features a koala bear in a tree with an x-rated swatch strapped to a tree limb. A pretty good photoshop, I’d say.
Upon arriving in Australia for the first time, they did what every good tourist crew would do, they hit up the local sites. They did some touring, lots of beaching and even hit up a park with koala bears. During this koala bear tour, they came across a sleeping koala. Chris B9, who was on tour with Champion, asked the tour guide if he could put his watch on the koala for a great pic. The tour guide was obviously against it. But she allowed each of the band members (who were interested) to hold the sleeping koala. When it came time for Chris to hold the bear, the tour guide was distracted. Chris slipped his watch on the bear, and a picture was taken. The tour guide was none the wiser.
Good times.
Regardless of the back story, this tee is cool. White tee, black ink. Simple. I’m a big fan. And that BIN is very nice too.
** pretty sure this was always a rumor but feel free to spread it as the “god’s honest truth.”
To bad there won’t be an asia tour with a panda.
I was actually on tour with Champion in Europe shortly after they got back from Australia and I heard that story from them & Chris Wrenn so I’m pretty sure its true.
