One last one from janvanderdam for today, though I’ll be back with more from him for tomorrow. Makes it right easy to do this site, he does. Anyways, I’m not a big fan of the color of this one, especially for a BFB jersey (I refuse to call it a vest. I feel like calling a BFB jersey a vest ends in someone jumping out from behind a tree and hitting you with a brick).
Winter isn’t over yet. No sir. But summer is coming. What’s a dude to do? Here’s my advice, win these two auctions from 6131 Records. And make sure to pick up their new LP when it drops.
I used to own one of these Bridge 9 versions of the “It’s Ok Not To Drink” tee like the one being sold by bigxdig…
I got mine way back in 1996. Unlike this one, that one had a Bridge 9 sleeve print, and the blue ones had white ink. Now, since this was 1996, I bought it in a size way too large for my then shrimpy frame. Eventually, looking like you had a Snuggie for a shirt became passe, and I ended up cutting off the sleeves and halving the shirt so that it would still be wearable. But I held on to the Bridge 9 sleeve for some reason, and in 2004 or so I decided to throw it on eBay as a gag, listed as a “Bridge 9 Records sleeve hat”. Unbelievably, some one bought it for 5 dollars, then emailed me complaining that despite it describing it as a cut off shirt sleeve and a sleeve hat, they still thought it was an actual hat…
No, I did not give them a refund.
More awesome stuff from, you guessed it, janvanderdam: Slapshot “16 Valve Hate” tour tees, in both long and short varieties:
Are those wizard sleeves I spy? I love that the design on these is just straight carried over from the Sudden Death Overtime years, which were probably the best years of Slapshot’s scary hockey mask aesthetic. I even have a giant poster from that tour on my wall (well, it used to be on my wall; right now it’s stored and awaiting a frame) that has that Slapshot spade front and center.
