Tee Till Death

You didn’t think I would let you guys go a whole day without some Skarhead did you? Ye of little faith!

I definitely missed the memo on this one. I can’t recall ever seeing this shirt before. I’m sure you Madball experts will chime in and tell me the story on this. Heck I even checked the archives AND howsyouredge.com
ANyway, other than the giant 357 on the back, I really like this shirt. Would wear under an open cardigan.

I remember when this album dropped. AJ picked it up from Newbury Comics in Shrewsbury, and we all gave it a listen.

It was obviously different than anything we were expecting.

But you know what?

I was into it. It wasn’t hardcore but it had plenty of rock. Obviously more Token Entry than Warzone, but much more rocking than Token Entry ever was. Get into it.

When I first saw this tee, I was confused.

I was thinking, “WTF is all that shit on the back?”

Then it all came together.

DOWN FOR LIFE

Those are all stencils. The kind tattoo artists use. That means, those are all stencils for Biohazard tattoos. For Life. Sucka.

Anybody out there got a biohazard tattoo? TTD staffers should consider getting one, that’s what I’m saying.

I am a huge Murphys Law fan. First HC band I ever went to see. I love a good Murphys law shirt unfortunatly this is not one of them. Ugg a maroon shirt. That might have been the most popular mid 90s color next Hunter Green and Natural. I think the only maroon shirt I do want is a Unit Pride shirt on maroon(they came on maroon right? I feel like ive seen them before). On top of this being a maroon shirt its a rip off of an extreme soda. Display this in your closet proudly next to your snapcase snapple shirt.

If you are going to drop coin on Madball gear, at lest make sure it’s cool(and legit). This one is BOTH of those things. Sure there is a little hole in the back, but isn’t that what you want in a Madball shirt? This shirt looks loved, broken in and ready for a new home. It’s an XL too, so you know I am watching this one closely.

Maybe I’m a buffoon, but this Skarhead long sleeve looks to be a perfect spring time shirt. Can’t you picture yourself delivering some street justice or laying down some mulch in the crisp spring air while wearing this shirt?

Ok, not really.

But damn close.

The Mongoloids know good shirts. For example, they see an Altercation shirt such as this:

Add a super American patriot flair, and you wind up with this:

Good look!

The not as cool Killing Time clock guy shirt. The “Just another Raw Deal” longsleeve is a certified classic. This one just doesnt hold up. Poor shirt color choice (although once we featured an uglier/better looking teal version!!!) and this incarnation of the clack guy reminds me of early 90s streetwear. Maybe its just me? A Killing Time shirt is a KIlling Time shirt so youre not really going wrong either way

This was a major want for me until last year when I finally picked it up. Mine is a lot more faded and the neck is starting to fray but I cant afford to buy a super condition one. Something about the Purple on white does it for me. I love the tiny Rev logo embedded into the design. Victory should have taken some notes from old Rev.

Some notes about this shirt that I have never gotten a concrete answer about. Some people claim this is an old bootleg as the letters are different than the original(posted below). The Rev logo is also positioned differently. Unless youre doing a side by side comparison you might not even notice

As you can see on this confirmed original, the letters extend beyond the 7″ graphic while the one for sale in the auction does not. Obviously different screens and different printing run.

Slimmer letter that are closer together. Also the purple inside doesnt completely fill the letters. Seller states “This is a genuine original GB shirt sold through Revelation mailorder back in 1988 when the 7in came out – not their first shirt but the first one sold by Rev.”

So does anyone have any concrete info on this? 90s bootleg? Label made official shirt?
