Grateful Dead

I got the Egypt 78 tee when Rockin The Cradle was released at least a dozen years ago, and this is truly Built To Last. My Stealie shirts have well done graphics, and PNW looks like it just came out of the box. Most have held up well for working or wearing, but I think Workingman’s is going to be a car buffer soon.

Hang in there Isles - you got this! Bruins doth sucketh!

I voiced a little frustration on the subject a few weeks ago. Most are cheaply made, quite thin and have sizing and other seemingly third world issues like they got them from the chicklet kids in Tijuana. My Anthem 50th t shirt is so paper thin I don't wear it if I think it's going to rain. I still sometimes buy them but they are honestly some of the poorest quality t-shirts I own. Well.. they are organic, but that's all I see they have going for them.

I would say up the quality and charge a couple more dollars but they are not cheap to begin with. A few years back someone must have said, charge a couple extra dollars and shop for cheaper materials so now they are boxed into a corner. I buy less than I would if they were decent.. so they make more per unit but are likely selling less units.

They need to be made from thicker or more substantial cotton for one, start there. Some of the more recent ones are a little better.. perhaps find a decent vendor and stick with them instead of playing disappearing ink or wet t-shirt roulette by using different vendors with different types of stock/blanks/thickness/ink/etc.

My two cents.

Edit: For what it's worth, the folks at the Jerry site seem to source their shirts from the same chicklet kids. The electric at the eel shirt is seemingly made from milled cotton that is magically just a single atom in thickness. A feat that was previously thought to be a scientific impossibility.

It seems different shirts have different styles and print "thickness". My shirts have been great. Halloween (ugh I forget what year- all orange and black with candles); June 1976 yellow and green tie die; PNW greyish tie die with a great print; and DaP 30 black with front cover of yikes bonus disc or the regular release, I forget. All good though after many washes.

What's hockey?

....mine is fading fast as well. Good to see I'm not the only one I guess. Weir looks like a ghost.

Daverocks a Bs fan ; )

No problem Oro, if you cheer for the Habs. But around here, it is a definite Hatfield-McCoy thing with them.

Jack - Agree 110% on Scheiffle. He deserves more. It’s funny you mention Dirty Dale Hunter - I knew a bunch of guys that played high level hockey, and a friend of a workmate got a training camp tryout with the Quebec Nordiques, before they moved to Colorado, and Hunter was on the team. Buddy attends camp, had no idea who Hunter was, but thought the best way to get noticed was to take a run at someone. So buddy takes a run at Hunter. Needless to say, about ten less teeth later, he got cut. Sometimes brains and sports don’t mix!

Unrelated, but my Workingman Dead t-shirt is fading like it was printed with chalk, and I’ve worn it maybe a dozen times!! WTF!? Mickey Hart is kinda Ickey Har now. Yet my Egypt 78 shirt keeps going and going. Dear Quality Control…

I only played hockey about twice, back in the 1970s. The best thing about it, as I recall, was tripping people up who were better than me with that stick. Actually ,tripping people up who are better than you is quite a rewarding thing to do in any field of activity.

.

I have none. Other than Price, the Habs aren't that good. They had the lowest regular season point total of any team in the playoffs.

My only thought is that the hockey gods are exacting revenge on the Jets for Scheifele's Dale Hunter like hit on Evans. Gotta love it when guys like that whine about their suspension and the "abuse" their families are taking after the fact. Hey Dickwad, it's all on you. Suck it up and deal with it. Evans is out indefinitely because you behaved like a total jackass.

Let's go Isles.
