Isn’t it the kind of thing men start doing when they hit 40?
Often feel compelled to buy them off merch tables, never end up wearing them. Last one was a Shabazz Palaces T that pretty much went straight to a charity shop that I then saw someone wearing outside my tube station.

Do you think that’s because old men feel the need to publicly state their affiliations*, or do you think that’s just the way that fashion has determined things?
*44, and wearing a Kodak tee shirt, as it happens

But tour dates on tees was a MUCH bigger thing back in the 90s. I reckon bands today print them without dates so that they can carry on selling them once the tour is done, and print up a bigger run at a lower per unit cost.
That’s why I stopped wearing my razor blade vest when I was on the hugging circuit.

I heard on the radio that Razorlight are making a comeback. YES!!!
I wonder simply wear a hat?

I just think the dates thing make the t-shirt into an “I WAS THERE” statement and I think they’ve become more about design
I secretly don’t think anyone should wear band t-shirts because they always look terrible. shhh.

Owned no t-shirts that weren’t band t-shirts in my early 20s. I still have a few I’ve bought recently that I wear regularly because I like the design a lot but I’ve also incorporated a lot more stripey t-shirts into my wardrobe.
I’m still much younger than you lads though
