Can you wear a band t-shirt without knowing the band?

New York, New York, so good they named it twice.

....as Gerard Kenny so wisely said.  I don't know if that was before or after he co-wrote the Minder theme tune for Dennis Waterman.

What I find odd is whenever I've been to a gig of a long-established rock band (name any one of them), and I'm guaranteed to see one of the usual metal meatheads strolling around with that band's T-shirt from the 1982 tour, yet it's in absolutely perfect condition. What the fuck do they do? Store them and only wheel them out to wear at specific band gigs?

I worked with a bloke who, every single fucking stock check wore his 1977 Status Quo T-shirt, without fail.

He was also the wanker who would, about half-way through stock checking come and say "I need parts A,B,C etc to get this job done" even though parts were closed.

Yup, that's precisely the kind of anal twat I'm talking about.

Saw a girl in a Joy Division one earlier and asked her if she was a fan - she looked at me oddly and asked 'what's Joy Division?'

You should have told her.

and I don't mean the band.

I got my mate some Joy Division Oven Gloves for Christmas. He is a Half Man Half Biscuit fan though.

nope, never... and i do still wear some band T's.

don't buy many CD's anymore and I still like to have album artwork so often a T-shirt is the best way

I wouldn't wear a shirt of a band I wasn't into. I think it's a bit weird. 

I've got one of these, though:

I remember the wife once seeing a PRS t-shirt, thinking it looked nice, and asking if I fancied one. I was like, "Why would I? I don't own a PRS guitar."

I stopped wearing my Fender belt after I sold the Tele, too..

My next door neighbour has got one of those enormous Harley Davidson belt buckles, and drives a Mondeo. That did it for me.

Or someone is trying to cling on and ride the back of someone else's notoriety.  I might wear a T shirt with an artist, if it had a good quote on it though, rather than a band name.  It's like CBGB T shirts.  You ever been to LA?  

I wear CBGB T-shirts, and have never been to LA.

I have been to New York though, where CBGB actually is  

Sambostar

OK I gave you another lol for that.  Fucks sake.

My youngest son wears a Brentford shirt all the time and has never played for Brentford.

My eldest son wears a Shaun Of The Dead T shirt and wasn't even in the film.

What a pair of wankers, eh?

I wear a Marks and Spencer T-shirt, but I've never met Mark, or Spencer.

Sambostar

You're an idiot. lol.

You do realise letting an under 18 wear a Brentford shirt is child abuse in most countries.

My mate's got an Eagles t-shirt and he's never played for Palace!

I don't have any band T-shirts left except the one which has the band's name on the front and 'CREW' on the back.
