I've never known why people don't like wearing the band T to their concert. I did when I was younger an tees were $5-$7.
I never do it now but just because I'm too cheap to buy expensive concert tees anymore. I mean come on, $25-$70 for a t-shirt. I'll take that money and go to another show.
I am of this opinion. The last T-Shirt I bought at a concert was at Joey Ramone's Birthday Bash over two years ago, and it was $10 which all went to help stop lymphoma And I can't even remember the last one I bought before that...
I don't even see why this is an issue. Who cares what you wear or if you even wear anything at all? Seems irrelevant to me. Then again, I don't think I have a shirt for any of the artists that will be there this year and no Bonnaroo shirts as this is my first time.
I've never heard of Remote Linking Forbidden. They sound like one of those Brooklyn hipster bands. That said, maybe I'll pick up a copy of their debut album "Please Upgrade Your Account."
LOL, you almost made me choke on my oatmeal (gross!)
The poll didn't capture this, but my policy is that you don't wear the shirt from THAT show or THAT tour, but anything else is game.
Yeah, this is pretty much my rule. I would never buy a shirt and immediately put it on (w/ the exception of once b/c I was cold). But I have all kinds of band shirts, and I just wear them whenever. I didn't know people really cared about things this trivial. I mean, can't we talk about abortion or gay rights. Kidding!

I don't like the idea of wearing a band/fest t-shirt to their concert/festival. But admittedly I have no idea why, it's just kind of a gut reaction of mine. I think perhaps it feels like I'm wearing a uniform, like since I'm seeing this band I'm required to have their name on my clothes. It also feels redundant.
On Friday I will, as last year, probably wear my favorite shirt:

i only have two music shirts, ones the beatles and the other is bonnaroo from last year. id say wear what you feel like wearing but it makes more sense to wear something that isnt where you are, like a roo shirt at roo, if only for the conversational purposes. if you have say a rothbury shirt this year, that will probably spark up a lot of conversation "oh hey you were at roth? etcetc" .but if you have a bonnaroo shirt its like, oh you like bonnaroo thats why were here ;D and i guess you could go on to talk about roo but i would think that is what you would talk about anyway.
Since I don't I'm sure I'll still be wearing the coolest shirt at Bonnaroo.
I love this thread, it makes me feel like I'm in high school again. "Like OMG, I hope like everybody thinks my shirt is cool, cause like everybody's gonna be there and everything."

^^^ This I think my favorite that seems to get the most attention is my Athens Human Rights Festival and I'll be wearing it and old bootleg Bonnaroo shirts and Work Exchange Team shirts from other fests and of course my Bonnaroo Volunteer shirt when I'm on duty.
I think I'm gonna get Celine, Creed, Nickleback, and Steveternal's shirts for next year.

Someone asked a question and we're all giving our opinions. Nobody's saying you can't, we're just saying whether we do or not. I don't think it's an issue. It's like discussing chunky versus creamy peanut butter but relevant to Bonnaroo.

Yeah, you're right, maybe I'm just being an uptight A-Hole about this. It's just that.....that...........
.....what if people don't think my t-shirt's cool? What am I gonna do? I mean "what is cool?" Everytime I think I have it figured out they change it to something else.

Well, I guess I'm just going to be the dorky kid no one sits next to. All I have are Phish, moe. and Govt Mule shirts- the only bands I care enough about to actually buy their merch. That and shirts from my middle school. But lucky me my favorite bands are at Bonnaroo!
I laughed when I read this. Had to have a patch of skin cancer on my chest removed. They don't cut it out, they GRIND it off. Because of the numbing stuff I didn't feel but you can hear it...[/quote]
I will actually probably be wearing shirts most of the time (skin cancer runs in my family and I have sunscreen for when I don't). Old shittty shirts and undershirts are usually the best bet. No point in taking the chance of ruining a shirt I like.
Britney's_Fears: We will go by a Stucky's what size do you need... also, how do you feel about a Kum and Go gas station shirt?
And to anwer the question posed in the thread: I will be wearing my Mule tank at the Mule show.... hate me if you wish to!
I totally appreciaet the offer, but I'm afraid I wouldn't end up meeting up with you and you would be stuck with a shirt you didn't want. Kum and Go? That's hilarious.
Crunchies for wearing your Mule shirt. I'll be at that show.
;D
And I can't even remember the last one I bought before that...
