Purple Battery Eaters

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 10/20/2011

Yesterday, alliedtrailers put up a pair of Battery shirts. Today, he’s put up another one but goes way back and pulls out this Lost & Found original. It’s definitely interesting…I mean its purple and its got some Celtic (maybe?) thing going on the front. The back kinda reminds me of the Alternative Tentacles logo for some reason. This is one of the earliest designs from the band so you might want to keep an eye on this one.

YOT – Take A Stand

By b. murphy | Published 05/29/2011

I’m going to start off this post by bursting a bubble. thisverymoment says:

So I believe what we have here is an original XL 4-sided Youth of Today Break Down The Walls era long sleeve. I say “believe” because I’ve never been able to verify if this is indeed OG, or if it is a boot. I’m leaning towards original but my research on this gem hasn’t got me far. Maybe the guys at Tee Till Death can help me out with this one? or anyone for that matter, feel free to message me if you know the answer and I’ll update this.

Let the bubble bursting begin. Sadly, this is not an original Youth Of Today shirt. At least, not sold by the band. The wizard sleeves should have been a big tip off to the seller. And if not that, the fact that Lost & Found released a live YOT album called “Take A Stand” with this exact artwork should have been the second clue. Either way, it’s probably 15+ years old.

Fun fact: the slogan on the back is 2 of 3 lines ripped from the Boy Scouts of America. That was a Rev Fun Fact back in the day, but as a former Boy Scout, I picked it out right off. The second line for the BSA is “mentally awake,” which is pretty fitting for YOT too. #PMA

Wide Awake

By b. murphy | Published 09/16/2010

OK CT heads, I need your help on this one. I’m 90% certain this is a Lost And Found hood, but someone clue me in. Adam Tanner, I’m looking at you … I’ve seen this one before. I know it’s not super old. As I recall, Owen Rogers used to wear this one all the time. Or am I confusing it? Either way, it’s a little much for me. Much like those recent B9 Project X hoods, this has just a few too many sides, colors and fonts. Sorry madballmarshall but you aren’t getting my money. Of course, I’m sure he’ll get plenty for it … Just not from me.

Cornerstone

By b. murphy | Published 05/11/2010

When I think of Cornerstone, I think of Fastbreaks older brother. But that’s my generation. Older heads probably think about a youth crew band that kept the spirit alive in Connecticut post Wide Awake / Up Front. Younger kids … well, younger kids are probably just scratching their heads. They’ve probably never even heard Beating The Masses. Which is unfortunate. I’d wager most would recognize the cover art. Sadly, I feel like I see this gatefold lp in most record bins I dig through.

As for the hood, I’d also guess this one has Lost & Found written all over it. I know, no wizard sleeves, but the color and font bear a striking resemblance to that split EP with Unit Pride.

Or is that just me? Any Lost & Found “fans” want to clue me on this one? Or Toby, if you are out there, fill us in.

Straight Ahead – Boots

By b. murphy | Published 09/22/2009

This week is all about Straight Ahead boots. Some are better than others.

This boot is just “ok.” Nothing too wild, nothing too crazy. The print is acceptable, but it feels like some of the details on the lion are missing.

This one is a Lost & Found bootleg (of course). For a bootleg, this one is pretty cool, actually. Three colors, yes, 3 colors. Grey tee and not that ashy grey shit color tee. Quality look. Bid it up.
