blink-182 Band • Page 1284

Casting Stars is my favorite OneRepublic song.

 

Anyone check out the new merch? That Santa Bunny Ornament is rad but sold out!

Meanwhile, the middle finger shirt is super cringe. One of my pet peeves is when people wear clothing with profanity on it. It just screams insecurity to me.

 

I bought the las Vegas blink shirt not realizing the bunny was giving the middle finger on the back. Will probably never wear it.

 

The merch quality isn’t fine. Every Blink shirt I have wrinkles around the neck, fades way too much after one wash, and is thin as shit. Thought their beanies might be better, nope. Huge “machine” that can’t spend a little extra for the fans to have decent merch.

Smaller bands have better quality merch. TSSF, FYS, Grayscale, The Used.

 

All these bands print on the same blanks. The shirts in Used’s shop are (best guess) Tultex 290 heavy (and ugly as shit).

Wow that shirt is ugly haha

 

FYS is on (a blank I hate) Gildan: https://fouryearstrong.shop/products/fastest-loudest-meanest-tee

 

TSSF (ew) is also on a comparable Gildan (their super scratchy hammer T)

 

I love Comfort Colors

 

All the California shirts were printed on that exact Gildan blank. I remember because I skipped buying anything cause I hate ‘em (and you can see the tag in photos).

 

All the cool kids do.

I’m not cool. Give me a tri-blend to be lazy in all day.

 

That's the Tultex 202 that most of Blink's merch is on: https://shop.theused.net/products/b...40440&pr_ref_pid=7098454966456&pr_seq=uniform

 

love a good tri-blend too

I only know comfort colors because my Nothing shirt that I wear almost every day is from that haha

 

Haven't bought a band shirt in ages but this Tultex blink shirt from over 20 years ago is probably my best held up t-shirt I own

 

Haha, yeah, they're super popular in the hardcore band (and frat merch) these days.

 

makes sense why I have so many of them then probably

not because I like hardcore but because I'm clearly a frat guy

 

I was looking at some merch I had from like 10 years ago (different bands, not blink) and it’s crazy how much better quality it is. So many were on american apparel and unif blanks!

 

Comfort Colors is my favorite

 

Also, the Hot Topic versions have different weights and blanks, that untitled shirt isn't the tultex 202. Blink-182 Self-Titled T-Shirt | Hot Topic

 

And because Capitalism.

Gildan owns most of these brands anyway, and then sell off their shirts from their factories to other companies to put their labels on. (They own Comfort Colors and American Apparel.)

S&S bought Tultex, Hanes bought Alternative and a bunch of others.

It's all very weird.

 

Saw this one recently in a thrift store in New Haven for $75

 

my fave shirt by far. (tri-blend pocket t)

 

^ I have that one too - designed by Sam Kaufman. Ironically probably the last official blink t-shirt I bought where I thought the quality was on point.

 

Second favorite:



and the best hoodie:

 

When hearing "The Fallen Interlude" for the first time, the first thing that I thought of was "I've fallen and I can't get up".

Great track, by the way.
