In 94 I saw guys during the US tour selling shirts with mis-spelled cities, for example Indianpolis (why not Indian Police;-)I NEVER bought bootlegged shirts. 99% are pure rubbish. |

Those shirts are pretty funny.
Used to see these type shirts for sell in Mexico all the time, never really studied the content on them, just thought they looked cheezy as hell, next time I go I'll have to pay more attention to the little details. Ha |

The boot t-shirts are much cooler than the crap the authorized vendors sell...also much cheaper. |

Much cheaper but do they last? Wash after wash? You know what I'm saying, Joshy. |

When I attended one of the 1981 MSG shows (I only saw one of them) I bought a t-shirt almost identical to the very first one posted above. I bought it outside the MSG, then I saw a better quality tees inside.
People bootlegging those t-shirts used to make big mistakes, like using covers of old albums (not the one of the tour) but with the dates of the tour, even making typos in the legends |

Wash after wash, good question, probably not, but they do have that uber cool, 70-80's iron-on look don't they.. |

I know you'll can't use anything copyrighted or any trademarked logos, but maybe you'll could come up with an image similar to, and/or model the official Rocks Off T-shirt after one of the bootleg shirts. It would give it a cool, off-hand, seedy, bootleg appeal.
Could say something like "Online world tour 1999 - 2004" or whatever year this msg board got started.
lol@Stone, but dig that old skool, silver metalic font. Reminds me of those blue Big Foot tees, and numerous other cheezy 80's metal band shirts.
Nice and generic (I think)

I've actually purchased a couple of boot t-shirts. The first was on the way to the Columbia,MO Voodoo Lounge show. My buddies and I stopped at a rest area and there was a guy there selling Stones shirts. He wanted $15 and I told him 'No thanks'. Eventually he came up to me and said 'C'mon man, give me $5 for one of these.' I did. Nothing special--white shirt with an American flag tongue on the front, voodoo dancer and tour dates on the back. It's totally fallen apart in the ensuing ten years. So I cut the sleeves and collar off and now wear it to work out in sometimes.
The last one I got in Stockholm last summer. The Stones had left town after their trilogy and the little t-shirt shops around town were getting rid of their leftover stock. This one is black with a rainbow tongue on the front, the back has various pictures (most of which are pretty cool) and a few tour dates. Since it was priced cheaply I got one for myself and one for my homeboy, Charles. Cheap shit, to be sure, but still kind of neat to have I guess. |

Maybe it's just me...but I kind of like a few of the first shirts shown...they're so cheesy they're cool...make sense?
josh, your post is one of your greatest masterpieces yet! I can see why joey is so fond of you. |

This thread is cracking me the fuck up. I don't have one of the "fake" shirts. Stupid me...always shelling out for the "official" nonsense.
Exile...you are soooooo cute. I'm LMAO. Do you really own some of these "gems?"
LJ.
I gotta go to my Parent's attic and retrieve my entire collection. thanks.

I was actually JUST thinking the same thing, gypsy, and the
word cheesy did come to mind!!! What would
REALLY be fun is if we had a/some Rocks Off get-together(s) on
the next tour and had a cheesy Stones t-shirt-wearing contest
and whoever has the cheesiest t-shirt wins some prizes!!!
I actually really like the first couple, also...
lol.............. The "Rolling Stones" inside the mouth and
tongue logo on the sleeves is especially striking...
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I'm keeping my money in my pocket...
CRACKING-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P  ROCK ON!!!
PEACE!!!
