BIN Ramones tour shirts

By jbil | Published 05/20/2011

This is something I would def like to get into collecting. Ramones tour shirts. (like I really need something else to start collecting). These things are pretty fucking cool looking though and I know usually Ramones vintage shirt command stupid prices. I think these two shirts seem to have pretty reasonable prices as well. One of them is only a quarter of the price that COS shirt went for the other week(i cant stop talking about how much that shirt went for. It literally blew my mind!!)
How much money did the Ramones rake in in merch over the years?! Its gotta be crazy.

Fiscal Tour

By jbil | Published 01/04/2011

One of my all time favorite bands. Plastic Surgery Disasters is always in regular rotation at my house. This shirt looks like the matching partner of the Minor Threat shirt I just posted. Same kinda colors used. Im actually into this dayglo scheme a lot. I think it looks fresh. But lets not kid ourselves into thinking this is an original from the 1983 fiscal tour. That tag is a dead give away. That is one major gripe when bands re-print tour shirts. I dont know it just irks me. I personally feel that tour shirts should be limited to tours and left at that. Ive also seen this shirt printed in the late 90s on a black tee with a more toned down color scheme. Again brought to you bulk vintage clothes buyer musboy20

Black Flag – Local Crew ’83

By b. murphy | Published 11/09/2009

What’s the deal with this tee?

It seems like a chill old shirt, but it just smacks of weirdism.

Here’s what the seller says:

I bought this from a guy who claims to have worked as a bouncer in a few clubs for most of the 80′s. I got this on ebay about 7 years ago or so. He was only selling “Road Crew” shirts from major artists (Aerosmith, the Cars, Steve Miller Band, ect) and had this Black Flag shirt in the mix. I believe it’s legit.

Based on this discussion, it seems this was a tee made by a local venue for a particular show. Sort of like a security tee but only useful at ONE gig. That seems terribly wasteful and stupid. Unless Black Flag was rolling all around the country handing these out to venue staff members before every gig.
