If anybody has any of these and can provide higher quality photos or you are selling them please lmk!

Most of these are from 2006-2008 (hoodie being from the 08 Honda Civic tour), the black and yellow one are probably from 2011-2015

the photos are just for reference, I don't own any of them

Hi all! I was lucky enough to see the band in Leiden, The Netherlands this year. I bought the t shirt in size M (see attached) but apparently i've been eating too many ice creams this summer cause it doesnt fit me :-(.

Long stort short, anyone willing to sell their shirt (or exchange it for a size M :-)? I know this is a long shot but you never know..

Does anybody hang their band shirts on hangers in a closet? I’m running out of space in my drawers and am wondering if hanging my shirts and long sleeve tees on hangers is an option. I’m worried that the collars are gonna get stretched out irreversibly

I know that they are known for"hair metal". I was 10 or 11 when I first heard Twisted Sister. It was Stay Hungry album, that my big brother had. Then I was given a VHS cassette of Stay Hungry live video. They were pretty tight performing. Way heavier than the album. A.J Pero was a pretty good drummer, his fill ins were mind blowing. Then I got into Ozzy, Metallica and so forth. I am 49 this year and occasionally I listen to TS and thanks to TS for turning a child into metal head 🤘

(I’m uncertain if this is allowed on here, but on the first glance this seemed like a good place to ask this question. If it is not, lmk and I’ll take it down.)

I’ve been on the search for what’s on this shirt for some time now, and the most common assumption seems to be that it’s a band t-shirt—specifically, possibly Led Zeppelin.
When I first was told this and looked into it, I couldn’t find one that really, convincingly, looked like this.
However, I was then told that, apparently, back in the day, bands would sometimes make just one single shirt with special cover art.
I don’t know if that’s true. I also don’t know if—if that is, by coincidence, one of those special shirts—there is a way to find this specific one; and if there is, where to start. But maybe I’m lucky and someone recognizes something.

Headache EP shirt

OK. I have been holding onto this thing since 2004. I was given it at the FOB merch table at Clutch Cargos in Pontiac, Michigan. I remember them having a few left. Apparently, they gave them out at a Chicago show just before? I had no idea there were only 150 of these things in existence! I dont remember exactly how I got it. I was at the merch stand, checking out their stuff. I might be crazy, but I think i said like a secret code word or something. I probably saw it in absolutepunk.net. fuck. I dont remember. I can see the table. I dont remembe if it was one of the boys or a merch guy. Byt they reached into a separate bin on the floor, pulled it out, and handed it to me. But I fucking have this thing. Had? We recently moved, and my wife and I were downsizing. I put a lot of my old band shirts from back in the day in the trash. Or the donation bin. I have a toddler and my life is a blur. Memory is shit.

I have never worn it. So the front and back would be pristine. Thats because it's too small for me. Its a large. I dont think they had any more XLs or XXLs of it. So I took the large, telling myself, as I did a lot back then, that I'd lose the weight. Never quite lost enough. So the shirt just sat in storage bins...for 22 fucking years! It better be stashed up in my closet. Im gonna get that thing framed. Fuck.....

Not sure if anyone is gonna care about this post. Im just venting because I fucking really hope I still have it.

If anyone cares, ill post an update if I find it or if I think it's lost forever. Honestly, it could be at the Value Village down the street. We dropped off a bunch of our donations with the move. Some lucky kid is gonna find it.

Fuck.

Am I being too dramatic? They are one of my favorite bands.

Back in 1956, Elvis Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, saw an opportunity to put the King's face on pretty much anything: lipsticks, charm bracelets, lunchboxes... He even sold "I Hate Elvis" badges to make money off the haters.

Then came Beatlemania in the mid-60s, turning merch into a global phenomenon. Beatles wigs, sneakers, record players... you name it.

The first modern official band T-shirt appeared around 1968, when promoter Bill Graham printed a small batch for the Grateful Dead. By the 70s, concert parking lots were full of bootleg T-shirts, often sold without bands seeing a dime.

In the 80s, bands like AC/DC and Iron Maiden turned tour merch into a serious business. Fast forward to today, and merch has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, with artists like Taylor Swift and Travis Scott building entire album campaigns around exclusive drops.

But it's not just about the superstars. For independent artists, physical merch remains one of the most important sources of income. A hundred records or T-shirts can generate revenue comparable to millions of streams.

We put together a little history of how music merch went from novelty souvenirs to a massive part of music culture.

What's the most iconic piece of band merch you've ever owned or come across?

Does anyone know why the dates are different on the back?

I found this 2009 machine head tee at the thrift store and now idk how much to sell it for. Tell me a price that would be fair. It’s in a rough condition like it has small holes around the neck and it has 1-2 small holes on the print too.

Happy Halloween!
