Variety is the spice of life... or something like that?

But yeah, 99% of my band shirts are your traditional black with logos/album art/tour dates. I must say that some of the white metal tee's you see around are cool, as well as the ones with extended prints. I guess it really depends on the actual design itself.

Most of those band shirts are mince. They're too crowded! There is some exceptions like the Maiden one from the AMOLAD tour, which is great. Nothing wrong with cool designs but these are just too cluttered for my liking. They have potential to be good but they just look tacky.

I want a red Gravehammer shirt though, they're awesomes!

I am prone to fancy delights.

The best quote on UK Thrash ever!

Non-flashy of course! Well, I don't mind a flashy design as long as its on the front of the shirt, not all over it.

Sigged like a bitch.

In some cases I actually prefer just a logo tee to a full blown design - take my Mutant shirts for example. I wear the black-on-grey logo shirt a hell of a lot and I don't think I've ever worn the Laserdrome one. It's not that I don't like it, I just.... don't earit as much.

That lazerdrome shirt is the best UKT shirt that has existed, i know you guys don't have a lot of cash (rest of bands) so i forgive you all.

NOW SUCK ME OFF AS I LISTEN TO CHER!
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

There's nothing wrong with the Razorgnome shirt, I just don't seem to wear it that often.

Likewise, it's quite a spiffing design.

I think when it comes to shirts, it's really down to whether or not you want to b pestered by people when you're in the queue. Whenever I wear a 'flashy' shirt or something with an intricate design I get a bunch of unevolved chimps trying to talk to me about how they love Anthrax (always Anthrax, even If I'm wearing a Razor shirt). I don't mind talking to people but I never what to hear 'DURRRRRRR WHERE'D YOU GET THAT SHIRT FROM HURRRRRRRRRR' ever again.

I guess it's down to the individual, but I think we can agree that most allover shirts are gant.

This is the only t-shirt you need...jim jam bottoms are essential when wearing this t-shirt.
