Is there a story behind it? Does it tie into ‘Rats’ somehow?

First I thought rats where just on his sleeves but then I noticed they were on his pants too. I thought the matching top and bottom was kind of dorky. I mean have it on the shirt OR pants but not both.

    I believe it's promotional clothing from the Rat Sound Systems get-up they were (still are?) using.

    I too have seen it gazllion times. Too busy focusing on eddie I guess. :mrgreen: darn him.

    That rat logo looks just like what was on his duds. Makes sense.

    The rat logo is there. Perhaps I'm not following you here. It was just a guess on my part; it's possible that they had a different logo 17 years ago.

    You are correct. And yes, they are still using Rat Sound Systems.

    That would be "Rat Sound" Pearl Jam's sound production company...or at least the sound production company they used back in the day.

    Did you ever notice how drummers are always wearing T-shirts or clothes that promote companies that make instruments?

    For example...Fender, Ludwig, Gibson, Sabian...ect ect ?

    Do drummers not have any clothes of their own?

    Should we be starting a "Coats for Drummers" type drive where we donate old clothing to various drummers in various bands so that they don't have to look like a bunch of Corporate Sponsered Whores everywhere they play?
