Re: Predictions for the next decade?
Shitty merch, James? How can you say that when they just released the Appetite 35th Anniversary Collection?
That AFD stuff doesn’t look too bad surprisingly. I’d actually wear some of that.
The UYI anniversary merch they had out last year, was fucking horrendous. Looked like it was thrown together with Microsoft Paint
The thing is, (and like always), they could always do the smallest effort, and still get good stuff out there for fans. For a proper UYI celebration, they could’ve reprinted the cool t-shirts from that era like Coma, Bad Apples etc and I would’ve lapped that shit up.
Instead we get fucking Fernandon’t and TB designing atrocious fugly merch
Re: Predictions for the next decade?
Do you have an image of that logo still?
I don't have a huge pic of the logo but here it is on the banner....
I'll ask Will if he has it.
Edit
It exists without the VR included.

Yeah it's shit. Lazy and uninspired...and also consider the AFD merch 87-89 was superior and for some reason they can't/won't use it now.
How about using this logo...not seen before or since on anything?
My dad used to wear that shirt. I don't know why he zeroed in on that one specifically...it's definitely a unique design that stands out.
How about this one? I got tons of compliments on this one in 7th grade....
How about Lies?
That is still one of my all time favorite shirts...seeing it brings back memories freshman year of high school when teachers would make me go to the gym to take it off.
Here's a doozy....
When I first started wearing that, some kids would pull my hair to the side so they could see what is on the back. Too bad it wasn't something better than "But...".
When I googled the shirt, I noticed regular people creating fan made Used to Love Her shirts to sell.
As Metallex pointed out, that UYI merch a couple years ago was cringe. Not up to snuff for a major act. I looked at their merch section and most of it just has small logos and banners... doesn't even cover the whole shirt. Looks like bootleg shit.
That Hard school shirt is terrible.
Look at this....
Minimal effort for maximum profit.
They want 30 bucks for that crap.
I laughed at that one.
I laughed again at the price. 40 bucks.
Just awful.
The old UYI merch was also superior to what they offer now. The barbed wire skull alone shits all over the current stuff.
One more...
They want 200 bucks for that! 
Re: Predictions for the next decade?
Holy motherfucking of god. Nothing says we don't give a shit than some of those "designs'. They don't need to hire a new artists or whatever, they have Slash back. You think he couldn't draw up some crap that is better than that junk. I do wonder what the hell the market word means in that 200 dollar jacket.
The mass produced shit you can get at Target, Hot Topic etc is better than the GNR crap for a portion of the cost as well. It's sad what they have turned into.

Re: Predictions for the next decade?
I actually ordered a sweatshirt last night because this thread was talking about merch. I am the problem.

Re: Predictions for the next decade?
I had this t-shirt back in the day
Me too man. Me too.
I pretty much lived in that tshirt from 1993 until 1995 or 1996 until it fell apart from too many washes.
If they want my money, they should reprint stuff like that!

Re: Predictions for the next decade?
I must admit I've warmed to Hardschool...cranked the shit out of it in the car the other day....but never the less....I dunno why a person would buy a hardschool top that's plain like that.
I mean a top for 1 song would be weird enough...but I could see it for a classic like WTTJ or YCBM or NR or something...but HS? I mean I like it but that's strange to me.

A different album on each side! That is clever!
