Whoa, Bulldog Free!

By b. murphy | Published 04/08/2010

Somehow, this Victory Records tee came out without a single bulldog.

How’d that happen?

Oh right. Sarcasm.

You’d think after 15 years (or so), Victory Records wouldn’t need to do a logo tshirt. Especially a weird new logo tshirt. It’s one thing for Revelation Records to put out a Rev Star shirt. That tee is classic (actually, if anyone has an old rev start shirt that is NOT blue, I want it. Hit me up). Every closet should have one. This tee? The opposite of classic.**

Victory Records Windbreaker

By b. murphy | Published 01/04/2010

I think we can all agree that Victory Records has been pretty sketchy over the years.

If you haven’t read the insane stories about Tony Victory, please do yourself a favor and google it. You’ll find some amazing stories by an ex Victory employee. Like mind blowing stories.

What really struck me about this auction was the following line:

This is from way back when they cared about the bands and the scene.

When did Victory Records ever care about the scene or the bands? Didn’t they constantly screw over ALL of them? Maybe they played more fair with Earth Crisis, Strife and Snapcase in the early 90s, but I would doubt it. Plus, this design smacks of 2001 or 2002. I am pretty sure that was the beginning of the sketchiest time at Victory Records.

Side note: one time I saw the Victory Records van at my local Best Buy. I went inside to look for something and saw the 3 man van crew jamming out on Rock Band. They looked really stupid. I suppose it goes with the territory.

Refused Insert Funny Description Here

By b. murphy | Published 01/01/2010

Refused wasn’t a hardcore band, and they wanted to make sure you knew it.

Take this tongue and cheek tee, for example.

The back features your typical hardcore live shot with what would normally be lyrics. But instead, Refused turn it on it’s head and say “insert cool hardcore quote here.” Aren’t they just precious?

One time I bought a Refused cd. It was during that time when I would buy any band on certain labels. I was not impressed. And shortly thereafter started using the in store CD player to screen my purchases.

WTF?!? Harvest tee

By jbil | Published 11/24/2009

Maybe I just dont understand young people today but why this fuck is this shirt hitting the high $70′s as I type this?!? Im pretty shirt this band isnt that good. Even if they are good, this shirt looks like shit. If youre spending $75+ on a shirt you better be getting something with schism fists or skinheads on it

Mental Naked Lady shirt

Here it is. My least favorite Mental shirt! I love Mental, the dudes and the band. A lot of cool shirts but this thing. I dont know. Where can one wear this without looking like an asshole?

Bad Band name shirts

By jbil | Published 11/12/2009

I wanna state that I have never actually heard the music these bands play, I dont know the dudes in these bands. Im sure they are nice dudes. Im strictly basing this on thier poor choice of names and subsuquent shirts.
Lets be honest this bands name is right up there with OS101(old school 101)

in case you dont like rap. according to urbandictionary a “Shook One” is defined as “Individual who acts like he is tough, but when things get hectic or tense, he gets scared and acts like the punk he really is. They have been shook up by the reality and are labeled shook ones”.

maybe you disagree and think they are great band names, maybe you love these bands. If thats the case then I will quote the movie “Dumb and Dumber” and say “pick’em up!”

Upfront shirt

By jbil | Published 11/08/2009

A shirt strictly for the Upfront completist! I cant say I back this at all. Not a good record, wonky font, Jr high drawing on the back. Upfront had some really pos looking merch. This is not one of them.

Youth Of Today Reunion tour tee

By jbil | Published 10/18/2009

This is a 2003 YOT reunion tee and this thing sucks. Shitty SSD rip off on the front. No X’d up hands on the back! There is no saving grace for this thing.

the worst SOIA shirt design ever

By jbil | Published 09/26/2009

This thing is all kinds of suck. According to the description there is also a ying yang symbol on the back! SOIA has some good merch. This is not one of them

mid90s Gorrilla Biscuits

By jbil | Published 09/11/2009

This shirt screams 90s. From the center placed front graphic to the shitty hunter green shirt color(natural was also a popular choice). Also Im pretty sure every band shirt form the 90′s came only in XL. Whatever you urges you have though, please do not tailor your shirts 90s to size “smedium” ruining them for the ages(maybe in 5 years baggy shirts will be back in fashion?!? you can bet you’ll be fatter in 5 years). Wear that shit over your hoodie or something.
