90’s Flaming Lips “Transmissions from the Satellite Heart” T-shirt, Made in USA
Vintage Flaming Lips T-shirts are indeed coveted treasures, especially among fans of the band. Interestingly, this album also represents a significant moment—the departure of Jonathan Donahue, who would go on to form Mercury Rev. Each Flaming Lips graphic is distinct, making these tees essential for any dedicated collector. If you ever come across one, seize the opportunity—chances of finding another are slim!
90’s Green Day “Insomniac” Tour Ringer T-shirt, Made in USA
If you’re a fan of vintage Green Day t-shirts, you’ll know that finding their tour T-shirts can be quite challenging. Merchandise from their 90s tours is particularly rare compared to prints from the same albums. The monkey design on this tee is completely unrelated to the original album art, exuding a ‘whatever’ skater punk attitude. For Green Day enthusiasts, it’s definitely a must-have!
80’s Bad Brains “ Bad Brain” T-shirt, Made in USA
As a huge fan of hardcore punk, Bad Brains are definitely one of my top priorities. Their iconic album is incredibly influential and important in many creative ways. You’ll often see people on TV wearing it, and huge skate brands like Supreme collaborating with it. It’s everywhere! I mean, come on, it’s Bad Brains—what more can you ask for? Enjoy their music and wear their T-shirts! The colors and graphics vary across different eras, and they even have Jamaican tie-dye shirts.
70’s Led Zeppelin T-shirt, Made in USA
As a vintage dealer with over two decades of experience, I’ve had the privilege of encountering countless t-shirts. However, there have been only one or two instances where I’ve come across an original Led Zeppelin piece from their early days. During that era, band merchandise wasn’t as common as it is today. The subtle yet powerful psychedelic rainbow logo on this particular shirt captures the spirit of that time.
80’s The Misfits “Crimson Ghost Fiend Skull” T-shirt, Made In USA
The Misfits’ skeleton face print from the 90s is frequently seen in vintage listings. However, if you look closely, you’ll notice the design has evolved over the years. The 80s versions feature a rounder, simpler face design, which I find quite charming. As a long-time fan of The Misfits, owning this particular piece is all I need.
