Band merch! It's overpriced, it's a pain to get at times, and it's a nice memento of concerts gone by. Personally, I fulfill the stereotype of a music geek who pretty much has half a wardrobe of band merch from artists I really love and want to support. So, go on and post them in this thread. Any memorable ones you've acquired? Any super rare limited edition type stuff, like "Hairy Amps"?

I'll put pictures of mine up in a second but I've got:

A t-shirt from Danny Brown
A hoodie from Vince Staples
A TLOP tee, a Saint Pablo tour tee & hoodie from Kanye West
A t-shirt from clipping
A t-shirt from Nicholas Jaar
EDIT: It turns out I have more than I remembered:
A t-shirt from Hudson Mohawke
A t-shirt from Swet Shop Boys

Pics here, if you're curious.

[kswiston]

I have a Decemberists shirt from an Ann Arbor concert in 2011. That's about it. I used to have a bunch of band shirts in middle school, but would only buy stuff from concerts now.

I have not been to a ton of concerts in my life: The Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, The Decemberists, and Stars. I didn't even start attending them until I was like 28. Sufjan Stevens and Beach House are on my bucket list.

Well, at least both of those artists are known to tour regularly.

Imagine the pain of us Daft Punk fans...

Not many really, most band shirts are pretty average. I've always been a fan of the more simple designs.

 

[Ultima_5]

bunch of bomb the music industry and jeff rosenstock shirts

 

[Shaanyboi]

One of my guitars is a PRS sorta designed by Billy Martin of Good Charlotte? I didn't even really know this when I bought it, nor am I a fan of the band. I just sorta loved how the guitar looked at the time (I was 16).

I don't know if that really counts as band merch though. Oh and one of my other guitars is covered in stickers of Blink-182, The Misfits, Nirvana, and afew others.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

I own a single shirt from System of a Down. Bought at their last concert in Los Angeles, for the Armenian Genocide rememberance.

 

[Joyful]

I got a chromatics shirt thas about it

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I have a NIN bumper sticker.

That's it.

 

[torre_avenue]

Oh, nice. I wouldn't have made that association either, not a bad looking guitar.

I didn't really think of guitars. I have the Schecter Synyster standard because I was way into Avenged Sevenfold when I was 15.

I never sold it because it sounds great and aside from the tacky inlays I still dig the look of it.

 

[Fhtagn]

I have probably more than 100 band shirts, mostly diy punk and metal acts, I couldn't possibly list them all.

In fact I've been trying to figure out how to store them all and whether it's time for a purge.

I have a 15 year old Aphex Twin shirt I still wear semi-regularly.

 

[YaBish]

I have a ton of band merch.
Off the top of my head:
Tank Top from Alt-J
T-shirts from:
Lorde
Arctic Monkeys
Portugal. The Man
Imagine Dragons (I know, I know, but it's signed by the band's artist, who is a kickass oil painter)
Wolf Alice
Death Grips
Weezer
Cage the Elephant
Tame Impala

And some records from various concerts, along with some pins.

Edit: I should add that I don't buy band merch unless I go to their concert.

 

[DrForester]

Only own one band shirt. But it's the only one I need.

 

[Simmins]

Bad Religion T-Shirt
Jonathan Coulton Tour Poster
Wicked the Musical Poster
The Book of Mormon Poster
Final Fantasy Distant Worlds T-Shirt


I usually only buy merch during shows I attend, so this is also a list of all the Live shows I have ever been to.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I own this Tesseract raglan. Probably my favorite shirt to be honest. It can pass as both a nice and casual shirt. Also super discreet which I like in my band merch.

 

[Lys Skygge]

A couple Sonic Youth shirts
A NIN shirt
I used to have a NIN iPhone case

I never really bought band merch. I would rather buy special edition vinyls from my favorite bands .
