For too long we have stood aside and watched in silence as so called 'It Girls' have paraded around LA and London in Led Zeppelin and Ramones T-shirts - attempting to purchase some credibility but in turn suggesting that the band shirt is nothing more than a fashion accessory.
But no longer! We say dig out your T-shirts and be proud! Show them we care who we wear on our chests; and that we are not going to stand idly by as they undermine the lost art of showing people "we were there at the Brixton Academy in 1998" or "we travelled all the way to Wolverhampton on a Tuesday in November and still have the shirt to prove it."

Yeah, I'm not big on vintage concert t-shirts that can be purchased years later. Guess w/ the distressed look, you can never tell for sure.
CBGB's should have only sold the classic t at the venue.
On the 4th, I'll be sure to wear my oldest, most worn, legit concert T - probably is Oasis from '96.
I'm working from home that day, so I will have no problem wearing a band shirt :)
If I can find one with no holes or blood on it, I will keep that in mind for next year.
Brilliant idea! Now, I guess, I just have to figure out which box my old shirts are packed in.
I have a ton of shirts. Too bad I don't have a job :(
Im sure they dont last like they used to
I'll dig out the Interpol T-short for the occasion.
this is definitely something i'd get into, except i'm jobless. (8
I still regret throwing away a Nirvana T-shirt I bought when I was 14.
O the follies of youth eh? ;)
Considering that I somehow managed to keep an Offspring one from that same era instead, ''follies'' is putting it mildly.
Yeah, and you are same size now as when you where 14.....
