Isn& #39;t it weird how the best possible concert merch is usually just a shirt with the artist& #39;s logo on it but so few acts actually bother to do that because they would rather be clever

I think catchphrases are good too, I remember seeing a Liz Phair show last summer and thinking about how much money she& #39;d pull in if she sold shirts and tote bags that just said FUCK AND RUN on them

When it comes down to it this is the platonic ideal of a band t-shirt - simple and versatile in function, with an iconic logo that serves as a shibboleth for fans - and extremely cheap for the artist to produce!
