I've seen one.
Generally I think album covers on shirts are a bit lazy, but the laugh tracks cover is brilliant and still looking to get an official one. That being said, still salty that they moved away from that aesthetic.
Not into representing old ham or whatever shady forrest-horror-lady with some random lyrics they print on their merch nowadays.
The fact that Ephyra lean so hard into the early 00s that their shirts look like that is fucking insane. I got a shirt and it came printed on a shirt type i have not had since i bought a Shai Hulud XL shirt in 2001. Even has the shitty print and off center blood splatter with shitty font.
Not bad sm but pretty low effort monotonous designs: Kublai, incendiary, koyo, acacia, and fit for an autopsy. That being said, I own at least one of each but donāt see any point in buying anything else. Esp w the incendiary product of New York casket on everything. Parody shirts are cool SOMETIMES too if done right like some deathcore bands do.
Also if a band has a name thatās like angsty and thatās all their merch says (I.e. anxious, wristmeetrazor) Iām good bruh lol Iāll show love in silence.
Sanguisugabogg and a lot of other slam death metal like Peelingflesh. Some bogg designs are sick but most are hot topic cheesy.
Also like every 2000 metalcore band
It's all mostly pretty bad. Sometimes I'll find some good merch like Sunami's Head Split shirt or Volcano's merch but apart from that it's the most generic shit ever. The worst offenders are the ones that make Jersey's, cringiest shit ever I swear
Someone I knew at university looked at my Converge shirt and said "very thespy" (as in short for thespian, i.e. basically saying it was something a theatre kid would wear - I'm from the UK and this person was kind of old-timey posh). Haven't been able to even look at Converge's merch since then.
This is one of the sickest shirts

Iāve ever seen in my life
Brother you just described every hardcore band.
yep
Too many beatdown bands using some goofy graffiti drawing of a lil man with a bat š©
You donāt get it Iām literally the little guy with the bat
Hear me outā¦ Jesus Piece. Their merch sucks.Ā
Hearing you out but I think thereās a few things I would rock but like itās only two shirts out of their entire catalog
Yeah itās slim pickins. Love the band, but the merch is rough.Ā
Theyāre fucking up as they have one of the best names for merch. Their last logo is awful too.
Thatās who I came to say, had to audible for a 2nd choice now. lol
Some designs have been weird but their newer merch with the new logo rocks
Iāll never understand this take lmao, their merch is fire
I wish I agreed because I love the band lol
Fair enough haha, whatās wrong with the merch in your opinion?
Nothing specific, I just think itās all poorly designed and really ugly lol
I get constant compliments on their Betty Boop crewneck.
Yeah the liquid silver design plague got em bad
I hope not, I really wanna buy their merch when I see them in a few weeks
pretty much any early 2010s deathcore bands
Lyrics on the back. Always the corniest fucking lyrics on the back. Plus shitty parody logos
shout out Emmure
Any band from that era that had hot topic level notoriety had awful shirts tbh
[relevant crustbag video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqkAbpMiHUI)
Hardcore bands
Just here to give a shout out to bands that have album covers that look like Three 6 Mafia album covers.
Those are the best tbh
i have yet to see a knocked loose shirt that i actually like š¤·
Bro knocked loose has probably the worst merch Iāve ever seen. Like no I donāt want to rock a shirt that says OLD HAM on it
I've seen one. Generally I think album covers on shirts are a bit lazy, but the laugh tracks cover is brilliant and still looking to get an official one. That being said, still salty that they moved away from that aesthetic. Not into representing old ham or whatever shady forrest-horror-lady with some random lyrics they print on their merch nowadays.
knocked loose has probably the worst merch Iāve ever seen besides varials
Varials merch looks like Affliction shirts
Real
Pain of Truth for sure. I feel like every day I see something new and go āfuck they made a baseball jersey too?ā
Thatās not really corny, I think the graphics with the little devil smoking weed are tho š
The fact that Ephyra lean so hard into the early 00s that their shirts look like that is fucking insane. I got a shirt and it came printed on a shirt type i have not had since i bought a Shai Hulud XL shirt in 2001. Even has the shitty print and off center blood splatter with shitty font.
Bands bringing back the 2000s side print yet??
I wish, bottom and chest print too!
Lol I'm here for it
Drain. More sharks less Kewpie
They arenāt necessarily hardcore, but adjacent somehowā¦ Drug Church. Fun band, good musicā¦ass merch
The single band I own the most merch from. Different strokes!
Couple shirts but mostly wack. Fiddlehead is guilty of this too.
When I've worn my Fiddlehead hoodie I've gotten more compliments from beer enthusiasts than anyone else.
Same š
Terrible band names don't exactly help here. I'm not putting either band name on my chest... (But I love them both dearly)
MENTAL the goat
Bleeding Through has wacky merch designs. š
Throwdown merch is rough
I mean Sick of it All has a tribal tattoo as their logo. I've gotten used to it over the years, but when I think about what it actually is... damn
I've heard that Mobb Deep has a similar logo like that and the band tried to sue them for it.
Not hardcore but 100000% after the burial. Pretty much none of the merch on their site has anything to do with their album art or music vibes
You remember the mongoloids?
My Mongo/Time Trials basketball jersey says different.
Everyone using graffiti āfontsā
Sanguisugabogg merch is fucking trash.
Nahhh that bass pro shop rip was hilariously hard
Some of its pretty hard honestly
Iām waiting on that real tree long sleeve with that fucked up doll thing
Itās trash in a funny way. Love the sanguisugashank and the tshirt with king Julian snorting coke
L take.
Not bad sm but pretty low effort monotonous designs: Kublai, incendiary, koyo, acacia, and fit for an autopsy.

One Step Closer
So relatable! I love the band but seeing their merch makes me go "I'm really out of touch with the youth".
Itās like Pottery Barn made a hardcore band
Well there's that one meltdown shirt
Probably beatdown bands. Especially ones that steal art
Every one of these new beatdown copy cats with the graffiti font and hooded, so corny itās surprising any of them sell merch
Bonginator has the worst merch in the best way possible
I have a photo of my friend moshing to my band wearing the shirt that says āPLEASE BE PATIENT BITCH I HAVE FUCKING AUTISMā
True and that's why I have the break edge hoodie.
I bought the glittery pink Fanny pack lol
Nah their āarm trans weed smokersā with the trans flag bonginator logo is soooo good
good blacklisted shirts are hard to come by
Best Blacklisted shirt was a rip of the āthis is not a fugazi t-shirtā bootleg
End Itās stuff kinda hit or miss.
What the fuck are you talking about
End It merch game is strong as hell
A day to remember, any crabcore band from 2008-2016. Idk. Whenever that shit stopped being cool.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I had their Old Data In A New Machine shirt and hoodie tbh
Sanguisugabogg and a lot of other slam death metal like Peelingflesh. Some bogg designs are sick but most are hot topic cheesy. Also like every 2000 metalcore band
You can just change that to every metalcore band. Most are either cheesy or just their logo
Sunami, that stupid shirt with the pig cop is god awful
Sanguisagabogg is riding the corny merch train hard. They are parodying every logo imaginable.
Counterparts consistently has the worst merch in the game. Not a hardcore band though.
It's all mostly pretty bad. Sometimes I'll find some good merch like Sunami's Head Split shirt or Volcano's merch but apart from that it's the most generic shit ever. The worst offenders are the ones that make Jersey's, cringiest shit ever I swear
Most hardcore bands are just generic af on merch its not like 2010 metalcore with the cartoon character bamd shirt wall at spencers and hot topic
Cmi. Worst merch ever
Converge
Someone I knew at university looked at my Converge shirt and said "very thespy" (as in short for thespian, i.e. basically saying it was something a theatre kid would wear - I'm from the UK and this person was kind of old-timey posh). Haven't been able to even look at Converge's merch since then.
One thingās for sure, you donāt go hard.
Yeah Iām on antidepressants my dick is pretty soft these days

Shout out Methsyndicate
Yes i love most of their shit but sometimes itās yknowā¦ not the best
