    i wore a PJ shirt at all 6 shows i did this tour.
    I think the only time i wore an 08 shirt was at the beacon, as all of my other shirts were smelly and dirty and sweaty!

    Honestly HOW many threads must we have on this? There was like a 6 page one right before the Pearl Jam tour. This is rock and roll, not an assembly of the united nations. Where whatever you want.

    I was thinking of wearing my red 2000 tour shirt with the gorilla holding a rifle to the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert I'm going to next month.

    Amen :).

    And I don't know what the issue is around here but do lighten up. Just because "you've" seen/had this thread (or any other thread before) doesn't mean everyone else has. I'm one of the hasn't and I'm digging it, thank you very much.

    I think the better question is - "is it OK to wear no shirt at a concert"?

    I don't wear concert shirts for one reason . . . . they're usually of crappy quality and not comfortable to wear.


    I wear my PJ shirts to the gym so I can thrash on them.

    75% of the Tshirts I own are concert/band shirts. It'd show more planning on my part to pick out the shirts that aren't musically related and wear them to shows

    Hell, I wore the same PJ shirt to the last 5 shows I've been to. And I'll probably try to get a few more out of it too!

    i normally wear a pj shirt to a pj show but not a tour one, i like to wear older/rarer ones (STICKMAN IS NOT RARE)

    eg last show i went to i wore my 94 U.S VS tour t shirt that has the massive pic of the album cover (goat thingo) on the back

    I'm thinking of wearing the McCready, Gossard, and Ament Wishlist t-shirts to the three EV shows I'm going to. Hey, I'm not really wearing the shirt of the artist I'm seeing that way............ ;)

    Thank you... who has the time to discuss what other people wear anyways. This whole subject is stupid.

    why must people bug out when a thread like this comes along?


    80% of the threads on this board are wastes of time yet this topic gets the most abuse

    I personally do not wear shirts of the band I am going to see but could care less if people do. Why would someone else's t-shirt bother me?

    That scene from PCU is pretty funny though..."Don't be that guy"

    One thing a friend of mine commented on is the people that think they are cooler than just the t-shirt guy. For example a guy wearing a football jersey with the number 10 on it and VEDDER across the back. Or a Mookie Blaylock jersey. Does this bother anyone else?
    Hey, you wouldn't hire a clown to fix a leak in the jon so why do you let these hooligans tear down the biz? YEEAAHHH. I don't care if he is Mr. Notorious BIG, can he croon?

    I think it's probably ok if it's a big arena rock show. (don't ever do it at a small club, that would be weird)
    and it's better if it's a really old or rare shirt.

    I think that's a stupid rule. It's a rock concert; there shouldn't be any dress codes.
    Anyway, I like seeing all of the different PJ t-shirts at their shows. Sometimes I count how many different ones I see...

    Wait a second,


    I see threads every day about someone complaining about something that has to do at a concert (people sitting, smoking, being overly drunk, seat stealing, etc) and people respond by "It's a fucking rock concert!" but now there's rules by what you wear?


    How about this:

    Wear what you want. It's a fucking rock concert.

    Concert tees worn by some guy who spent 90 bucks to see a show not ok?
    but the guy who sings can wear the same thing 7 nights and thats ok (white pants no less)????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    just for that, I'm wearing PJ tees for the rest of my show life!

    You people are nuts!

    DEAL WITH IT!
