Bane Give Blood Scarf

b. murphy / 12/09/2009

It’s snowing A LOT at the moment.

I’ve already shoveled the driveway, but I’ll have to do it again before leaving for work.

When I go out and shovel, I’ll probably wrap up with a Bane scarf.

…

A BANE SCARF? Yeah, that’s right, they exist. Judging by the give blood logo, you’d think they were released 8 years ago, but that’s not the case. These were made up before a big winter Euro tour just 2 or 3 years ago. I’d have to ask Marcus how well they sold, but I know they had Bane few left when they came back to the US. Maybe very few were made? I’m not sure.

I don’t think I’ve ever worn mine, actually. It’s a hard style to rock unless you are a super UK Football fan. That’s what these scarves feel like.

American Nightmare Farewell Tee

b. murphy / 12/08/2009

This one has always been one of my faves.

For some reason, I never picked one up, but I recall Bedard wore the shit out one he had. Lots of Palladium gigs (when the stairs weren’t covered) rocking that tee.

Speaking of the Palladium. One time American Nightmare played that joint. Before the set began, Wes held up a cardboard poster with permanent marker words on it. I remember the whole crowd “WOWing” whatever it said, but I couldn’t read it. I was on the stage (because that’s how cool I am, obviously, … ooooffffffff) and never saw it before he launched it away.

Anyone have any idea what that sign said??

Anyway, I was always a big fan because the back of the tee clearly has Wes sporting an x-rated swatch. For such a negative sounding tee, that picture sure seemed positive to me.

I do recall they were all ill sized though. Like the larges were real long. Maybe I dreamt that though.

The seller claims he “has never seen one of these on ebay before …” That’s just him hyping up his auction. This tee shows up every few months, he obviously just doesn’t follow ebay like we do. Not sure if that’s good or bad …

Jacob Bannon: Jane Doe X Integrity Print

b. murphy / 12/08/2009

Jantegrity?

Integ Doe?

I like Integ Doe. This could be Integ Doe 256 Bit. Or just 2 bit, really, I guess. I think that’d be a Nerd X Artist joke, despite me being only one of those. Obviously.

As for the image? I don’t know how to take it.

The Integrity logo is classic to me. Like mid 90s classic. One of the bands that stood the test of time and brought this great graphic with them. 15 years later, you know?

The Jane Doe graphic is probably more of a modern classic. This graphic started dropping back in 2001. A little more modern, but not groundbreaking new, that’s for sure. And since Converge was playing out way back in 94, I’ll give it to them.

Jacob Bannon really does have his moments. And you know this, man!

SXE Varsity Jacket

b. murphy / 12/08/2009

I love the look of a great straight edge varsity jacket.

It really evokes that youth crew look no matter what.

Gotta have those stitched on letters. Chenille lettering all the way.

I like this particular one very much. In fact, I almost didn’t post it here because I was hoping to keep it under the radar. Oh well. The more the merrier. Get in the pit, right?

Black body, white sleeves, giant X on the chest. Great look. I wish the seller had given more detail on brand and fit, though.

Anyone got a red and white one they want to bequeath to me?
