T-Shirts

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Got mine about a week back (yayyy Corpse Clothing) and rather nice they are too. Only thing is that it's almost certain they're bootlegs (no RH tag, print on Lucretia isn't as dark as the tour shirts, so on) but feck it - wouldn't be the first time and probably won't be the last either. :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Turns out Backstreet isn´t all crap after all - got my UBG shirt today, which is more or less on time as well. The front of the shirt does feature a Reptile House tag, so I guess it´s official....?

Anyhoo, the only downside is the size. Just to be sure I ordered a size XL, and it´s...well, a bit large for me. So if there´s anyone out there with a size L shirt and the opposite problem, PM me and maybe we can make a smooth trade.

Also, sort of on topic; how about new Heartland tees? After all, there is a 30th anniversary coming up next year...

Got my UBG shirt today. The printing is brown / dark grey, which is quite a disappointment. The picture on the website suggests white / light grey. Also the printing feels thick, which probably means it will fade fast in the washing.

Apart from that, it looks good, and fits good (XL), but I won't buy from play.com anymore.

Sending it back and getting money back etc. is such a hassle, I leave it for now.

That's how it's s'posed to be.
At least mine's like that & I bought that at the Petofi Csarnok gig in 2006.
Cheers.

Aye,mine is like that,and I bought mine at Rock City in 2001. It hasn't faded any more than any other shirt I have that is eight years old.

Yep, my UBG bought at the 2006 was like that too, the thick print still hasn't faded.
Now if you could find a F# me and marry me young in S.. some time ago there were plenty on ebay, now they're nowhere to be found.

Wearing my Lucretia T-Shirt bought from play.com at the moment. Its not bad at all. I also got an UBG T-Shirt as well. My original UBG T-Shirt bought at what ever concert many moons ago is terribly faded.

I'm still waiting for electric shirts to send out my order. Apparently it's not that easy after all.

Another friend of mine is getting me the 'Utterly bastard groovy' one for Xmas, he got it a couple of weeks ago and paid £12 for the shirt and £8 p&p.
He's somewhat pissed after seeing these

Di you buy from Play.com? They send every item out seperatly.I once ordered five cd's at once,and they all came in seperate packages,on the same day.

Most online companies do that to make sure that other items don't get held up if one is delayed. It's a bit heavy on packaging, though. Some, like Amazon, give you the option to have everything boxed together if you're prepared to wait until they're all available. But as you say, it's a bit stupid when you get five packages on the same day.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

My "Lucretia " lyric shirt from Play.com arrived the other day,and it's different from the ones that were sold at the gigs this year.The front print is brighter,almost a blue rather than grey,and it has a "Gildan" tag rather than the Reptile House tag.Looks official though,probably a second printing.
