Elisa Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 It's actually the first time I see that shirt. But @Thibaut182 is probably the guy you're looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibaut182 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yeah that design is really rare, I haven't seen that shirt pop up on Ebay but I'm sure that this shirt was limited as not a lot of people have it (and it was probably given to some personal friends and persons close to the band around that time) There's some pre-blink 182 shirts that are on sale quite often on ebay, so yeah Ebay is the best solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 i know there's the other shirt/sticker, from a manga titled Ranma 1/2, but i'm defff not sure about that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibaut182 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 @Kjblink182 actually has a sticker of the back of the shirt, his collection is very impressive and he has a lot of pre-182 stuff too ! Might be a shot to contact him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islyes Posted May 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yeah, I figured it was a long shot that this would be around. I was hoping that maybe someone at one point scanned it. If anyone by chance knows if it is around as a shirt or scan please let me know. @Kjblink182 @Thibaut182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibaut182 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Doing your own DIY shirt can be a very good solution in order to re-create those pre-Blink 182 shirts, nearly all the stickers are identified for those shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty good idea. I also didn't know that it was that font. I appreciate it. Do you or @Thibaut182 happen to know of a better still image that is seen in the video? It has some areas out of sight, and I suppose for someone with talent it wouldn't be too hard to fill in the gaps, but I unfortunately have no experience with graphics. Or does anyone happen to know an artist who would be able to replicate it at a decent price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a better video from the MTV Road Home, and it's taped directly from the VHS Tape Much better video quality ! 6:25 Doing it DIY is the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to both of you a lot @daveyjones @Thibaut182 Definitely going to give the DIY a go. Do either of you know what the symbol is to the left that is out of sight on the video?

Please make sure to post a picture on the progress of your DIY shirt, would be really interesting to see it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjblink182 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 That shirt, (I assume you're referring to the anime one, not the "wiener chaser" one that Mark's mother shows the screens for) from what I've been told was a "prototype," in other words, was not "mass-produced," and is the only one known to exist. There may have been a small handful that were made to test the screen, to be given to close friends, or for the band's personal use (wearing on stage and such), but I've never seen another one besides that one. There is one other "prototype" shirt out there that exists, owned by @blink182memorabilia on Instagram. It is 100% legit and came from a guy whom I also bought some pre 182 stuff from. If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at any time. I know I haven't been as active on any platform lately but I am trying to get back into it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjblink182 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I also have scans of all of my stuff, but I do not usually give them out to people, as I am very against bootlegging, especially the older stuff (not only because it hurts the band, but also from a collector's standpoint; I HATE receiving bootleg pre-182 stuff, then fighting to get a refund because they don't believe me, or think they can trick me into thinking it's real) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I'll try to recreate this for anyone who wants it printed. Update when I'm done/or if it proves to be too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I've been working on this all fucking day. Nowhere near done. It's so challenging, because the more work I put in the more I realize this was probably definitely hand drawn by Tom. There's a lot of contradiction in choices IE eyes it's a struggle. Also, I'm pretty sure it's unfinished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
