They may drive interest and the new generation will stop listening to this crap that now tops the charts. Besides us old Zep heads can't really wear our tees from the 70's. Mine were so badly faded and torn, that I cut the logos out and saved them. I was thrilled with the fact that I got a tee with my DVD of tsrts. When I wear it my students ask about it because they are familiar them now. I'm educating 13 -17 year olds about real music. Their music is limited to Lil' wayne little Boosie and Britney. I'll be wearing all my rock bands from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone up initially impressed and asked 4 people wearing these 77 shirts (well, one was a hoodie...which i'm sure as shit cant be considered retro despite the '77 logo...thick baggy hoodies in '77!?) and NONE were fans of zep. They dig the gothic typography and the naked angel logo...and well, LED ZEPPELIN is a really cool name for any band at any time. The actual zep fans are the ones wearing the modern, geeky shirts. Its the poseurs that go for retro stuff. Its the same overall trend now of why all the trendy clothing stores are selling pricey shit that looks like its been worn for 20 years. y'know, faded/torn/paint splattered jeans....pre-stressed/cracked screenprinted graphics on t-shirts and the like.

I feel ya, The skater punks are wearing the same stuff around here. Few of them listen to the music but they want to fit in. They all look exactly alike. Their clothes look twenty years old but they use mommies top $ to get it. When we were growing up we had to scrape twenty bucks together and beg our friends who were going to the concert to buy us a t-shirt that most of the time didn't fit, But we liked it. And walked to school uphill both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseurs are inherently fake + your quote taken at face value = the irony Don't ask me to do it in algebra though; my x's and n's shall forever be but mere letters in the alphabet.

IGG Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I proudly wore my 77' replica shirt....in 1982. Now, just an illicit LZ at the O2 long sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Klu Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 My favorite is the '73 tour shirt with the '74 swan song logo. It's what the discerning zep fan would wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I love these threads. I need to start my own business, then join boards and pretend to 'stumble upon it' time and time again. Or just hire random people to do the stumbling for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
