“Back In The Day”

morgado / 07/20/2010

I’m as big a fan of the hardcore band basketball jersey as anyone. But can anyone honestly describe that mid-90s merch staple as being from “back in the day”? Apparently mr_max_fu can. In fact, he goes so far as to describe this Agnostic Front jersey as not just being from back in the day, but from “waaay back in the day”.

Now, I hate to be a party pooper, but the mid 90s is not “waaay” back in the anything, especially when talking about a band that’s been around as long as Agnostic Front. I’d party poop on the $99.75 BIN too, but given the love for basketball jersey band merch these days, he’s probably being pretty fair. eBay store owner modernist65, on the other hand, could absolutely get away with using the words “from waaay back in the day” in their description (in fact they could even add one or two more a’s), but to the shock of no one is being absolutely ridiculous with a $300 price tag.

So what’s the price conscious vintage Agnostic Front shirt fan to do? My suggestion is make wildbill4you an offer on this shredded up AF- Cause For Alarm tour shirt. The BIN is stupid high given the state of the shirt, but you’ve got nothing to lose by lowballing an offer, especially since the only way to salvage it is to cut it into a tank top.

by far the most offensive thing about this shirt is the pairing of combat boots and basketball jerseys. Hated it in 96, can’t believe it’s back in 10. I always liked the term “Sneaker skinhead,” but yet can’t think of any basketball players that wear combat boots. Gas mask shirt is one of the top 3 graphics ever, so tempted to buy it, but i think i’ll drink another bud light, blast VIP and try and stay off ebay tonight. Hey, JBil/Glastonbury-Bidip bo!
