Just curious what everyone thinks about this. They've reprinted the exploding skull shirt and George is currently looking for the "Yer Moms Not Dead, Shes Just Tired" shirt from the 80's. There's talk that he's gonna be doing a bunch of them. Im not too thrilled about it at all. I don't think these shirts he's reprinting really represent the bands style now very much, and it's also kind of a bummer for those whole actually have the real shirts. I don't really see why they couldn't just come up with some cool original artwork.

Yeah, well, I don't know about you but MY exploding Skull shirt has been torn to shreads and my Boombox Experiment shirt as been worn to threads. Also, I had 10 old FLips shirts that I just can't seem to locate: what the fuck happened to my Put the Waterbug in the Policeman's Ear shirt? Or my 1992 white longsleeve FAGs test-pressing that I got from a christmas-lights crew guy? I wouldn't mind getting them again. I'd honestly rather wear the old 92-97 shirts than the new ones...

Just to be sassy, here's some pics of me wearing some random FLaming Lips shirts:

Damn that Boombox Experiment shirt would be sweet to have.

Crazy guy in the Boombox shirt. I literally had a fever at this show.

I wouldn't mind having a reprint of the lime green shirt with the half-dissected body graphic. Lost it to some junkie in REVCO. But I do sorta-understand Goalieman's sentiment. Seeing a plethora of the exploding skull shirts now after not seeing them in over, well, almost fifteen years is a little cheap. Plus, the band seems very sincere in looking forwards instead of looking back.

I'd still like that lime green t-shirt, tho.

They're not hard to get a hold of. Check eBay once a month and im sure you'll find one. They always sell for under 20 dollars.

At least the exploding skull reprint is slightly diffirent. The skull is a bit smaller and there is no print on the back. Glad to own the original shirt. I love the back print.

The "UFOs over China 1987" shirt from around 1994??

I have an old soft bulletin shirt from my brother.
It has a bleach stain on it so I only wear it at home or soccer.

But I wouldnt mind the insect shirt, very alternative.

I'm actually ON the shirt, but never got one.
Front row on Steven's side. Good times

I have a 'hit to death' t-shirt with a large image of a tongue licking an eye on the front FlAminG lipS with Hit to death in the future head in large letters on the back.

Could do with a reprint as this ones getting old now

That's the one. A friend gave it to me for a birthday present, and somehow I let a session player from RevCo walk away with it. The folly of youth.

i actually have the "yer mom's not dead" shirt. it was printed on possibly the crappiest tee ever made and probably shrunk way past my size shortly after buying it. the print is way cool tho, so i've kept it all these years. is george actively seeking this shirt for a repro? i'm a screen printer and have often thought of redoing it myself.

He definitely had an little add on the new website asking that anyone who has the shirt to contact him. But the adds disappeared so I'd assume he's got what he needed.

I've always wanted the one that said

DRUGS HELP

...the flaming lips


but I don't think they'll ever remake that one.
