As Mental started to fade, towards the end of their career as a band, lots of weird shirts started to come out. Greg was the mastermind behind most of these shirts, as I recall. And the vibe started to veer away from your typical “live shot – varsity font” hardcore tee.

But this shirt and others of this era were headed towards the pop art side of life. No beef there. I always like something that is original, stands out from the crowd. This is one of those tees. I think bgmcgee also had a hard time describing it. I think that’s why he was quick to mention where he got … given to m[e] from Joey C of Righteous Jams. Great heritage there.

Know what I’m saying?
** Yeah, I probably could make that up. Continue reading
