Prog T- shirts

[MudShark22]

Was wearing my Marillion "uncool as f@#k" tshirt today - always gets a couple of quizzical glances

Nice score! Nobody will know what that means but who cares?

But there are at least 3 people on this page of this thread aside from me who'd know.

i recently got the MP Deep Red and the HYF Black. i did have a Yes tee back in the 70's that had the classic logo on it. i also had a couple of Iron Maiden tees back in the 80's. those last few did not survive. the Rush ones are all i have right now.

I probably have too many prog t shirts. Many of those would elicit blank stares anywhere I go except for at a prog festival.

One reason I'm bummed I didn't make it to ProgDay is because I had two really cool t-shirts to show off. Now I'll probably have to wait until next Spring or Summer to properly sport those at a concert or festival!

(BTW, I don't know what Frog Hollow is.)

You could always buy Progman Cometh tees. There are still a few left. Including the first year, with a misspelling(?!) on the front.

Thanks. Was that one of his kids' shirts? I was guessing it was Zappa related.

I never really knew the background of him wearing it, but it was always a legendary T-shirt from a picture from the Hot Rats album.

No, Moon would have been a toddler and Dweezil not yet born when that pic was taken.

Moon Unit was 2 years old and Dweezil was 1 month old when Hot Rats came out.

edit: and Dave (in MA) was Today years old when he didn't refresh the page before answering.

Not really T-shirts, but there is a company making Tull Album Cover Quilts. I have ordered a King+ size....will comment after it arrives.

Google Tull Album quilt.

Other bands too by same company. I saw Rush & Floyd.

Like I say….wait till mine shows up…..it could be more Chinese rubbish. Just got a text that it just got a flight out of Shanghai. Another e-mail sent that Floyd Animals just got a flight out of Heathrow….all junk heads to my living room!

^ LOL, OK.

After more than 27 years I had to throw away this t-shirt, produced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Tolkien's The Hobbit. I wore this shirt during NEARfest 2000.

You know those retro T-shirts "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON?" Some years ago I saw a woman in Edinburgh wearing a "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON" T-shirt. I'm guessing probably me and her were the only ones within miles who got it.

Not prog, but I still have my Giant Normal Dwarf T-shirt from Nits. Alas it's no longer in a wearable shape.

And well, last week I saw 2 children with a Rolling Stones T-shirt from a tour in the early 80s, so before even their parents were born.

I have some memorable T-shirts through the years, some of them from a once in a lifetime events like:
Kiss - Introducing Eric Carr (Palladium NYC 1980) and the Keith Emerson Tribute concert (El Rey Los Angeles 2016) that I was forced later to retire both due to wear and tear.

Too many to list but some standouts from the past come to mind:
Genesis Duke tour 1980 with Albert playing on the Seconds Out cover, ELP Works 1977 with the Pirates skull, Tangerine Dream Optical race (1988 with Atari sponsor logo), Yes (too many to mention) and as a cool macabre design from the Goblin 2013 tour with the Fiddler devil.
