SoonForgotten2 - seems your calculations are a bit off, as the regular membership is $20 & a boot is about $15, that equals $35. Since the analog membership is $40, that means the t-shirt cost me $5. "I call that a bargain..." ; P

Right but in actuality, the free boot costs them next to nothing to host and the shirt couldn't have cost more than a buck or two to produce, depending on how many they had printed so although on the surface it might look like a great "deal" to some, it was almost $20 of pure profit for the band.

mp3 boots are 9.99 and perhaps he was referencing the international cost? Im guessing of course but that makes the T shirt $20

I think they gave us these shirts to be able to tell, when a band member is approached in public, whether they should run away or stick around

Yikes.

To the people who like this shirt....if any other band, team, company or person put out a shirt exactly like this for $20, would you still like it?

Also, didn't Tim mention a band member was making this? Who is the guilty party? Maybe Dave A did out of spite. Or maybe he meant one of the band member's small children.

i didnt realize when they said you would get a tenclub shirt, you literally get a shirt for fans of the fanclub, and not a Pearl Jam shirt. awesome.

The shirt is cool and it's a great conversation starter

It's not a great tshirt let's be honest. It's almost like they don't want people to spend that extra $20. They should really have gone all out on this first one, thus increasing membership revenue. $20 for that?

really not worth it. Maybe it will be better next year.

Still have my original MB 10C shirt from the 90's but have retired it to a plastic bag

i was kinda hoping they would reprint this and make it the 1st annual 10 club shirt. but no.

thats honestly what i was thinking too

or at least something with a similar theme and of the same caliber

guess they decided to go the shitty route instead :P

I love how it says I'm Analog yet there are digital sound waves on the shirt. hahahahahahahaha

Digital waves are square as they are a sampling of the analog waves. Those are indeed analog waves.

Are they displayed on a piece of digital equipment? which is my point.

That just means it's a digital representation of an analog signal.

You can be SURE that I will be tuning in to the radio show to see if this topic is addressed and hopefully a caller brings it up.
I still cannot believe that this is the shirt, it feels like a real early April Fools joke. Whoever greenlit the final product should be embarrassed.

Methinks I'll be dreaming in digital this year...glad my membership doesn't renew until July.

Kilgore_Trout

wait... has anyone checked to make sure these aren't hand drawn in sharpie by a band member? that would make them better, right?

Expect a condescending answer about starting your own band and own fan club and selling millions of albums then talk to him about it.

so, by wearing this shirt, does it say I'm a fan of PJ or does it say I'm a fan of the fanclub?

This is what I don't get. I've never understood any of the "10Club" merch. I'm a fan of the band, not the fan club.
