I've just done this week's laundry

[Raven X Army]

and have been folding a bunch of shirts for the past half hour while listening to The Clash and it downed on me that EVERY TIME I fold/wear/even fucking look at or think of my YOT WNITA shirt it is always the same thing in my head:

"This is the greatest HC shirt ever made"

Right this moment I can't think of a single shirt design that comes within a mile to that shirt. Definitely one of my favourite shirts ever. And I'm not even a shirt guy but that 25 year old piece of rag never ceases to excite the fuck out of me.

I just thought I'd record my spontaneous thoughts on the appropriate nerd section of the Internet (here).

Now obviously I'm not a shirts person. But right now I can't think of a single shirt design that isn't nicer than that shirt. To me it looks like some kind of dodgy bootleg you'd find for sale at Camden Market or something.

i share mcs's opinion but have to say that i love PxG's enthusiasm. it's what i like about music and collecting.

I stand by my words
This shirt has everything a good shirt should have:

1. Proper YOT logo (WNITA logo is the best one they ever used)
2. Good slogan (WNITA) that immediately makes you think of a crucial photo shoot and the NO MORE video
3. Fists. Good shirt MUST have fists. And here we not only have fists. They come with some strong symbolism. Either breaking free from the chains of society, slavery, abusive substances or Japanese bondage. Who knows.
4. The X. Crucial edge shirt MUST have an X.
5. Crucial colourway: white / black / red. You can't have a crucial shirt printed in brown ink for example (What's up Paolo!!
6. NO back print. I hate back prints, sleeve prints, 2-sided, 3-sided, 4-sided shirts. I'm not a fucking F1 driver. Or a Russian general.. The only shirts with back prints I actually like are SCHISM shirts. Back prints are tolerable when combined with pocket print.

I've always liked this design too, and

Japanese bondage

yeah.

Funny that before bootlegs became common and reunion shirts surfaced (there were only some Lost And Found bootlegs), this shirt was the cheapest OG YOT shirt you could get and nobody seem to be into this design. I've seen some many went unsold for 9.99 or sold for 99 cents in the late 90's/early 00's.

My greatest shirt is the judge schism.
I have several color combos of it and yeah all are boots. I m not that much of a schirt guy.

I dont like the wnita shirt that much. Color and design wise. Its white and i hate white shirts. Probably because it takes 30 seconds until it has s stain.

I had the gb s/t on white and now its more greyish. I hate white, red, yellow shirts. I just wear black, blue and few other colors.

Not a fan of this design, nor do I like white shirts...
My ideal hardcore shirt must be compatible with doing things I like to do, whether going to a dirty venue, gardening, cleaning/riding my bike, doing the dishes. I don't want to worry about stains etc. I'd feel chained wearing this one (how symbolic) because of that. So I want a black, dark navy or dark maroon shirt.
Not a fan of sleeve prints either btw. Backprints only if they're subtle and no text printed in New TImes Roman size 78 please!

White shirts are awesome.
Have you not seen the inserts to the WARZONE 7" with Ray wearing the homemade UW shirt???
Also, certain designs (like the one below) look a lot better on white shirt. I'd rather rock this on a white wifebeater that's too short, exposing my belly button than on a well fitting black shirt making me look like a true Camden Dr. Martens sign holding knob


I'll go further. I am all for sporting white shirt tucked into your jeans look as demonstrated by the crucified skin Freddy in this video:
