I had to add this lovely item being sold by jack_army84 simply because he calls it a basketball VEST. Several times. VEST, VEST, VEST. I’m not sure if VEST is some UK #SWAG, but around these parts we call it a jersey. Maybe I just like saying VEST? Who knows?
Seller luigithunders mostly goes in for random vintage items, but every so often he sneaks a punk or hc related shirt in there…
This is probably the only corporate rip off shirt from the 90s that didn’t make my skin crawl, largely because of the lyrics to So Ends Our Night.

Some high priced auctions from jantvojta through out the day today, and these three, while all old, still manage to have a modern feel to them, largely because of all the bargain bin MMA/streetwear cum “punk rock” shirts that hang on the racks in stores like TJ Maxx…
Ok so, nothing even remotely like that Killing Joke shirt (which is so bloody incredible) would be on the rack at TJ Maxx (though the whole “photo taking up the whole front of the shirt” deal was a staple of streetwear). But you get my point. All over prints, distressing that basically just look like bleach stains… we’ve seen all of that over the past few years. All these shirts really need are studs and giant patches with crosses on them to fit right in. Of course, these were just as likely to have been made to look this way at home, as opposed to being mass produced by a 4 year old in Indonesia…
Sometimes I ramble incomprehensibly, I apologize.
Our good friend loop88 has a Cro-Mags shirt ending later today that I can’t believe we missed up until this point. I saw them on this tour with the Bruisers I believe and no one was there. Sad times. As usual, I will let him handle the description…
“Cro Mags “Best Wishes” tour shirt 2001=This is the classic Best Wishes album cover art. Shirt is from the tour in 01’ where no one cared what so ever about the Cro Mags playing, huge venue with maybe 30-40 people, now people all of a sudden people love them again? This is the last time that you see this artwork printed without being in a box, the newer versions of this shirt look awful and screened in a condensed box (if that makes sense) and not open like this one.”
