"flashy" band shirts vs plain ones?

Postby kilgore on Sun Jun 06, 2010 8:12 pm

What do you guys think of the new band shirts bands are coming out with? The ones that have the print all over the shirt, like these:
all over print

do you think they’re too flashy? Do you prefer the older, simpler designs? Personally I think they’re really cool and they look nice, but I’ve also heard other people say they’re too busy. What do you guys think? Would you wear it?

Don't really like them personally, they look like something you'd buy in Topman (and probably could in some cases).

Nah, I don't see what's wrong with a black shirt with a logo on it. Flashy probably means it costs more anyway.

^ This.

Album cover or a logo on a shirt is fine. SOme of those allover shirts really piss me off.

Hmm, I like some of those allover ones, but I am prone to fancy delights. I like a nice fancy t-shirt. At least the Iron Maiden and Judas Priest ones are quite cool. Fancy me up, baby.

I think the all-over ones look a bit tacky.

At the risk of saying the same thing over and over, its new trendy bands that go for the fancy all over prints

I was shocked the other day, I saw a Bring me the horizon shirt n it was such a wicked design, damn them bastards

All gash, just stick to the standard plan of logos and bang in some better colours into the mix.
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.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...
