Mine is the classic AC/DC white on black logo.
I also once had a really nice Rocket From the Crypt bowling shirt.

I had a Suede tour one

with 'See you in the next life' in purple type on the front.


yellow flaming lips one from 2003

bug-eyed caricatures of the band on the front and "wuh wuh wuh" in pink on the back (which I like to think is the theremin part of "race for the prize" in type)

shrunk a bit sadly, or i've grown...


me

Big Business one


I used to have the classic Rival Schools Tshirt

in blue and yellow.
I really wanna get it again, but maybe in green.

I always think the 'Pavement ist rad' wizard Tshirt looks cool, too.


Funny you should mention

Rival Schools tees, I was checking them out half an hour ago...they still have a very well stocked merch shop if you google rival school merch


nice

i used to have the 'pavement ist rad' T. Sadly it disintegrated


Isis - Dulcinea

Got the lyrics for Dulcinea on it, and a rather scene middle-century depiction of a man in armour with a big sword being attacked by bats, but not in a shit way.


all the BSP ones

and Meat is Murder


^the first one

The BSP ones are ace.


Pretty much any

shirt by PWEI. Particularly the Pepsi rip-off one that got them into bother.

Sample It, Loop It, Fuck It and Eat It.

you've got to love those sentiments....


my joanna newsom one

http://www.dragcity.com/catalog/records/dc336tcu.gif
because it is pretty much unreadable and looks so stupid


is it meant to be disgusting

and a naked woman?


I hope not

becase I wear it quite alot and it would be even more embarrassing than it already is if it was


This one

As it sums up the spirit of the band perfectly.


Meat is murder

My mars volta one with the golden head
The xiu xiu one with freddy mercury on it


sleater kinney is for lovers

is my fave


My Meneguar shirt

http://bisaufsmesser.com/store/images/PC150017.JPG

That but in white with blue writing.


ah!

i was supposed to get that off someone in brighton, but i havent paid her/seen her in ages to get it! its rad though.


Oh and also the Mogwai

"Blur: Are shite" t shirts are legendary and I want one but cant find one anywhere


The Led Zeppelin '1973' one

that every bastard in the world wears.
I lie, to be honest I'm not sure but it's a toss up between my red Hendrix shirt or my black and white Aphex Twin one I bought from warp.com


b&s "study at stow"

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5176/studyatstowye1.jpg

pretty rare now, from 1997 i think. sadly mine is wearing very thin :(


i have three favourites

black flag 'four bars' t-shirt
the national 'tree' t-shirt
justin timberlake 'futuresex/lovesounds' tour t-shirt


ive got the top one

its one of my favourites too


just my Kid A one

it has a massive hole in the armpit, but i carry on wearing it like the crazy mofo that i am


I bought

a Gutter Twins one when I saw them at the Koko last month.

But my favourite one is my Godspeed one, because I get idiots asking me what the lightbulb is saying.


i had a really great pram tshirt

it was very worn out and so very thin and very comfortable and had a nice design on the front. my ex stole it. ARGH!


I like my..

blue Modern Lovers t-shirt. It's really nice fit too.


anything designed by johnny whitney - his designs are stunning.

or Weezers 'if it's too loud, turn it down'.


I like my weezer one with the dancing girls

drawn by adrian tomine, or my weerez one


i have a long-running

and probably unhealthy obsession with band t-shirts.
current top 5 faves:

1. neil young black 2008 tour shirt
2. the replacements, vintage white tour shirt
3. sonic youth orange puppet on green shirt with sleeveprint 'dirty'
4. weezer 'rockin the bitches' orange on brown
5. charles bukowski, white on black.

this will change by next week.
i am ill.


I would probably

be willing to murder someone for that Replacements shirt.


it is

completely beautiful.
and, worst luck, i've no idea where it came from as it was a 'mates club together' type birthday gift...which hints at expensiveness i suppose..


At the moment im fond of my

Limp Wrist- Fags Hate God one


my

animal collective one. its purple and theres this big pink crocodile squishing this green fruit (apple?) and all the juice is coming out and tiny crocodiles are dancing in the juice or atleast i think thats what happening.

That's

pretty hot.


for sure

my Washing Machine shirt


Wrens

As seen in my profile pic. The irony is, I actually wanted a blue one but they didn't have any left in my size, and since it was free (their frontman gave it to me because I'm great), I couldn't really say I didn't want one at all, so I took a green one and I was kind of sad, but now it's my favourite t-shirt and I wear it nearly every day!


Urusei Yatsura

purple with the 'hello tiger' single design.


I'm quite fond of my old

'Sunny Side Up' Pavement shirt, and my Fucking Champs one with some weird guy holding a ball of light.


Anyone mentioned

the black flag police story t-shirt?
Or failing that, my replica iron maiden football shirt, for the sheer bravado of it.


i really like my mastodon oneq

with a friendly looking mastodon on it holding a mastodon flag in its mouth


Sisters Of Mercy

Merciful Release t-shirt, original head on pentagram design, not the crap updated version. faded to buggery through intense wearing then washing. cotton reduced to the softness of tissure paper through wear and tear.... and my The Cult Electric t-shirt.


My HORSE The Band

Werepizza One

Done in a very kitch horror movie style with the phrase 'Beware or be aware'


I really

Really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really crave an X-Ray Spex t shirt.


But

My customized Iggy Pop tee is pretty sweet.


All of my

Pearl Jam t-shirts =D


fave tee


Who's Repsonsible?

.....You Fucking Are!

Manic Street Preachers


seafood

'when do we start fighting'
and

life at these speeds winter(?) tour 2005.


My red Viva Voce tshirt...

...which, with the elongated skull, makes them look like a fuck-off heavy metal band!!

Fave tshirts when I were a lad:
PWEI : Pepsi symbol
Carter the Unstoppable Sex machine: 30 something
Therapy?: Have a nice Day (other side: In Hell!)

And I'm now also rather partial to the Clash tshirt with the skull and crossbones - cannae whack it!

My least favourite one was an Unkle John and Whitelock tshirt which had all these legs in a triangle and looked rather pagan-esque.....but it was given to me after the band split in a birthay present so it gets an airing occasionally to make my friend happy.


i had

an early zutons shirt which is v cool. tho people sometimes think im zorro.

i have a mars volta shirt which was perhaps an unfortunate buy because i cant wear it without people thinking that im a freak or someone who's about to kidnap some kiddies and drive off a cliff with them.

it has the vulture man holding a naked bloke by a knife through his foot with 'The Mars Volta' scribbled underneath it in a font that might as well be wingdings or somehting.

also, i have a rage shirt with che on it, and i get really paranoid that people will be looking at me and judging me just cos its got che on it. stupid che.


best

one ive seen (might i add) is the mistys big adventure one - red with all the blue hands on it.

class.


Probably either my Aereogramme one

With this on the front:
http://a498.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/82/m_04aaf81cff578e12d247519d0b1b6fe9.jpg

And a George Orwell quote on the back:
"The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it."

Or my yellow Cursive plane one.

I really want to get hold of a good Mogwai one. And try and get a Husker Du one as well.


i like my Shins one

because it doesn't really say anywhere that its a Shins shirt

http://www.backstreetmerch.com/product.asp?item=shins09


OXXXES ON BOXES


Black Flag

'Family Man' is probably my favourite because the drawing is amazing and the number of people it has offended is in the hundreds.

But... I also have an original Bob Dylan/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tour tee which is white with the most 80s neon graphic ever and features a picture of both artists wih the caption 'alone, together' which is pretty homoerotic.


my new

Pissed Jeans - Barber Owl tee


I've lost my two favourite band shirts

One was a blue Belle & Sebastian one. There other was a breaks one with the lyrics to Hi How Are You on it :o(


I like my Converge and Rolo Tomassi t-shirts

I also love my Gallows 'Giant Squid' shirt.


either

my x-ray spex tshirt http://shop.fifthcolumnclassics.co.uk/ekmps/shops/fifthcolumn/images/xr001t.jpg

or my sonic youth one which just says sonic youth on the front with a cross and youth against fascism on the back and has been sewn back together after my old housemate literally tore it off my back.
