Billingsgate Hoodie

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/21/2012

6, count em, 6 Bulldogs. I don’t know how Billingsgate said “yeah we’re cool with that” back in the day but I’m sure we’ve seen worse (wait, have we?). Billingsgate was pretty good back then and outside of all the bulldogs, this sweater from fredrulesok93 isn’t too bad. I kinda miss when labels only printed XXL hoodies, it made it easier to order. This was more than likely sold directly through the label after the release of their 7 inch “Reach Out”.

Only The Strong

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/06/2012

Regardless of how you feel about Victory Records now, they put out some seriously killer records early in their history including the first Only The Strong compilation. 6 solid songs including the Meanstreak song (did they ever release anything besides this song?). Besides releasing some great records, Victory was mass marketing themselves throwing their name on everything including this “Only The Strong” hoodie that steadfastmatt is unloading. I’m pretty sure the first pressing of the record had a red cover which would reflect the hoodie. The CD version had a blue cover and I think there was also a yellow version. My memory is the worst sometimes.

Path Of Resistance Brings No Shame

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/05/2012

When Victory Records released the Path Of Resistance record, they printed up two shirts for the band and tmeisky82 is letting go of both of them. Both designs were made in short sleeve tees, longsleeves and hoodies as was the standard for the label at the time. The first of the two is my favorite and it’s also in better shape than the other. The designs borrows heavily from the records artwork with the cover of the record on the front of the shirt and the back artwork was the disc art. This was printed in both gray and white and I feel like the gray works best. No Bulldogs here but you get a huge Victory banner down the sleeve.

The second design was the one that Victory held onto for quite some time. The band would later reprint this one with a different front and a slightly altered back. The shirt seems a little faded but it could be the lighting in the photo. Both of these should be dated around 1996-97.

A Pair Of 90s Earth Crisis tees

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 03/08/2012

barfight has a pair of Earth Crisis tees up and the first being the older of the two. This one is probably the second design Victory did for the band in between the releases of “Firestorm” and “Destroy The Machines” around late 1994. The design was later reprinted and reworked as “The Discipline” when DTM was released. I always liked the original one over the redesign. The redesign had this huge paragraph on the back and I just feel like the original works better, especially with this color scheme.

The second was printed for their first Japanese tour in 1996 and like barfight says I’m inclined to agree that the band was the first straight edge band to go over there (Strife being the second later that year). This particular design though I’m almost positive was bought from Victory as the label sold them for a few years after the tour. My favorite part of the shirt though is the sleeve print which you can’t really see in the photo but you can see by clicking here. I know alot of you have allergies to bulldogs but this one is just cool.

Is This Our Destiny?

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 02/11/2012

Of all the Strife designs that Victory made for them (and they made a lot), this was the most mass produced. 4 bulldogs on one arm and the Victory logo on the other (as was the norm of the era) so if you have an allergy to bulldogs, you might want to steer clear. This was printed up for the “Grey” 7 inch which was a preview of their LP “In This Defiance”. If I remember correctly, this was the only design the label printed for the 7 inch though the band did print a design the song “To An End” which was the B-side of the record. xdeadmanx took good care of this one. Pick this up and get ready for the band’s new LP coming soon.

Hatebreed Iron-On? WTF????

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 01/27/2012

Alright so this isn’t really an iron-on but cmon, look at it. It looks like Tony Victory printed out the logo and then ironed it on one of his shirts (filled with bulldogs). Is it real? More than likely but man what were they thinking with this huge white border? hammyvonscammy, I don’t doubt you’ll unload this one and I’d say you’re making the right choice by selling it. Good riddance

There Is Only One Truth And That Is This BIN Is Too High

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 12/02/2011

I think it’s pretty safe to say that munstermunson1 is aiming a little high with this one. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Strife and I love a good collegiate font hoodie but that BIN is a little bit much. Did the seller piss on this thing? 4 bulldogs = oof.

A Strife For Every Season

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 11/23/2011

It really seems like x614x has something for everyone. How about a Strife short sleeve, long sleeve and a hoodie? Sure, 2 of them were Victory prints but the first is their version of the Smorgasbord rip off. Not exactly a complete rip but still a good look. This was printed in at least 2 other colorways (White on black and yellow on navy) with the yellow on navy being my favorite.

The long sleeve is from “In This Defiance” and features artwork from the record. Looks like it was quickly thrown together by the label but I still dig it.

This was the design the label sold for years after the band broke up. No signs of a bulldog or the label name so those of you that suffer from Bulldogitus can rest easy.

Insight Hoodie

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 11/16/2011

I love and hate this Insight hoodie that xilovemeatx is selling. I love that it’s the same color blue as the layout of the 7 inch but I hate the HUGE bulldog on the back. I mean we already have 4 bulldogs on the sleeve and the Victory label on the other, did we need an enormous logo on the back? I can handle a bulldog or two but this is just a little over the top. Great record though.

Deadguy Killing Music

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 11/15/2011

Between this green Deadguy hoodie and the purple Deadguy tshirt my friend Geoff has, Victory definitely went non-conventional with their color choices. Sure, I’ve seen this in black but this strange green seems like a much better choice (not really). 4 bulldogs down the sleeve was the standard of the time for the label. Shipping is coming out of Germany but xilovemeatx is a guy I’ve traded with in the past and he always ships fast.
