Older BFB shirt? I dont know how old this is but it could be from that first 7″ time period or a later print as victory likes to keep shit in print. Victory is the kings of uncollectable merch!!! Take Hatebreed’s “Satsifaction” lp for example. Pressing info is as follow – Blue Vinyl 510 copies, Black Vinyl, Red Vinyl 506 copies, White Vinyl 509 copies, Clear Vinyl 510 copies, Purple Vinyl 665 copies, Green Vinyl 660 copies, and Pink Vinyl 210 copies. When you make a million press all out of 500 then none of the are collectable and you just wasted my time. I know tons of other lables are guilty too especially with the onset of ebay but Victory seems to be the worst.
Blood for Blood “Enemy” shirt
Black Flag – Local Crew ’83
What’s the deal with this tee?
It seems like a chill old shirt, but it just smacks of weirdism.
Here’s what the seller says:
I bought this from a guy who claims to have worked as a bouncer in a few clubs for most of the 80’s. I got this on ebay about 7 years ago or so. He was only selling “Road Crew” shirts from major artists (Aerosmith, the Cars, Steve Miller Band, ect) and had this Black Flag shirt in the mix. I believe it’s legit.
Based on this discussion, it seems this was a tee made by a local venue for a particular show. Sort of like a security tee but only useful at ONE gig. That seems terribly wasteful and stupid. Unless Black Flag was rolling all around the country handing these out to venue staff members before every gig.
Anyone have ANY idea on this one? Weird.
Strife EP Test Press
New Age #11.
My Fire Burns On
One Truth may not have stood the test of time as well as I had hoped it would, but this EP still rips.
Finding a New Age test press feels rarer and rarer these days. I expect this one to get bananas.

Wu Tang Clan – The Wu’s Coming Through …
The WU came through with a banger when they released Enter The Wu-Tang aka 36 Chambers back in 1993. At the time, I recall thinking, I don’t like hip hop but holy shit, this album is AWESOME. I wasn’t down with Eric B and Rakim or De La Soul or Nas. That wasn’t my steez at the time. I just wanted to listen to hard rock that I could thrash to.
Enter The Wu-Tang satisfied that need. That album is HARD. Some heavy beats and down right nasty rhymes. It stands the test of time, and will continue to stand the test of time.
However, with all this success, biters would come and go. No one would stay for very long, but they were there. I guess that goes hand in hand with success.
Along those lines, here are some WU inspired tees that are more or less successful.
Meltdown. Pauley Edge. Loves steak. Flip that W upside down. Word.
The Warriors. This sort of works nicely. Wu Tang Forever has some bangers, but a double album will certainly have it’s fair share of filler. That computer game was … weirdo.
Get the fuck out of here with this tee. This literally makes no sense. Does anyone out there NOT know that this logo is a “W’ not a “V?” Seriously, it’s not weganism, it’s veganism. This tee is embarrassing.
