Those Shirts?

This is a silly question but I'm asking it anyway.
I've pratically grown out of most of my clothes and I have to get a new wardrobe.
I've taken quite a fancy to those shirts Von use to wear.
You know the ones, I think they were polo necks and they were red & black.
I have a couple pictures of them but I don't know how to post pictures.
Can any of you tell me what make they were and the proper names?
I would like to get my hands on a shirt like that

The one with the flowers on is really, really old. I doubt you'll find one like that in the shops today.
But browsing second hand shops and the like for silly looking shirts can be fun. I found some flamboyant ones in Kensington Market and in Amsterdam. (not much help, I know)

My hoody has the Overbombing artwork on it. Is it still evil?

My only hoody is red-purple-black tie-dyed. Is it still evil?

No, of course not.
Unless Adidas have started doing a psychadelic range?

You have probably done this already but have you tried looking in charity shops? I have been more than pleasantly surprised by some of my finds in them.

They're all wearing large and untidy cats on their heads as required by their collective lifestyle statement?

Bingo.
And a moment's apparel madness by Andrew, back in the latter stages of what you probably deem the halcyon days, should not be used as a fashion statement, a lifestyle statement nor any other form of statement.
Tony's moments of apparel madness on other hand most certainly should.
Vive la Différence.

I can't be arsed to make fashion statements, I just like silly and flamboyant shirts.

Bob stealing it from Von would certainly explain the nasty comments on the "Dear Doktor" page

Certainly is; I think we're inventing fashion wars and 'nasty statements' to glamorise what was essentially people wearing whatever the hell they picked up off the floor that wasn't covered in vomit, booze, or both.

I have one like that - doesn't have a red dragon on as well does it? I was wearing it last week and almost expected to get kicked out of Sainsburys
