Ok! Ok! So it was swung back around just like I predicted vintage rock brand shirts. Started in the 1970's having a rock brand tee was must. No matter the band you needed one does not matter if it the Sex Pistols to Black Sabbath. So you may be thinking, "Did they just buy the brand shirts anywhere at any store?" To answer your question yes but majority of the time they would attend the concert of whatever band and purchase a shirt! So it is pretty simple. So just like me you kind of want to either be different or you want to actually wear something that you know about! There is nothing wrong with that. Plus these can be found in most thrift stores. Here are some alternatives:
Corporate Merchandise: Yes, I know it sounds weird to wear some of the merchandise from your corporate office....BUT!!! It is kind of stylish. Ok, so lets be serious here a simple white t-shirt from Microsoft with a small logo on your chest where a pocket can go....IS PRETTY COOL!!!
Government Merchandise: You know the DEA stuff. A bright yellow jacket would look really cool with some ripped jeans with a matching hat with a simple white t-shirt.
Amusement Park Branded Clothing: The prices are going to be high there is no doubt about that but.....honestly....truly it can be really dope. Like think of it folks a Disney World shirt with some cool slacks and a pair of Jesus sandals or sneakers.
Local/Independent Artist Merchandise: Unless Chance the Rapper is still sticking to the whole not wanting to get signed thing then you can get one of his shirts. If not do not buy it! Even though I have plenty of artist shirts that are far from independent but I digress. Supporting any independent artist does not only men listening and sharing their music but wearing their merchandise that they have worked so hard to create helps support a lot! Think of yourself as a walking billboard.
These are just some of the alternatives to this whole rock band t-shirt movement. Yes, some fashion critics would say that this is "stupid" or "the road to the death of fashion." If you truly know fashion you know that everything repeats itself and will do so forever. Things are brought back and re-created in a different way. So let there be rock and other stuff! Even...though y'all probably won't know any songs created by that band that is on your shirt.
