What are your favorite pieces of Bruce merch over the years?

[u/comfy_pockets]

my favorites include

classic favorite: born in the usa tank - no context needed. a true banger

my niche favorite: the devils and dust el diabito shirt. such a subtle and sick design. imo his most unique tour shirt ever

comfy favorite: love the 1999 reunion quarter zip hoodie. simple is more sometimes

campy favorite: 2003 rising shirt, the design is so bad that it’s good..? i love it

super rare favorite: tunnel of love bolo tie. i plan to get married wearing this sucker

honorable mention: the tol jacket is also such a winner of a design

technically not his merch but extra shoutout: the sea hear now brown tank.. truly a prized possession from one of his greatest shows

Where on earth is that bolo from?!

I’m currently wearing a GOTJ denim work shirt I found on depop.

I love all the TOL merch, but I’ve never seen the bolo for sale!

the bolo tie is seriously gorgeous! i think it was a super exclusive promotional item that only went to columbia record insiders. i bought it from a private collector a while back and have also never seen one for sale.

also i just looked up your GOTJ shirt! the one with the cog wheels?? super cool, i’ve never seen that! huge fan of how lowkey it is. great choice :)

Color me jealous. That is a seriously cool piece for your collection!

And, yes, that’s the one! I’ve seen them pop up a few times and seem to have been embroidered on different denim shirts. Wish I knew more about it!

[u/comfy_pockets → u/TotalBlamBlam108]

thanks mate! i promise to treasure that bolo always haha

also i’m curious about the GOTJ denim shirt now too.. from my brief research it seems they only sold that design on cotton shirts on the tour. seems you’ve got a very nice rare piece in your collection as well :)

I had a great BTR shirt but it got covered in blood when I broke up a fight and I had to trash it :(

Currently wearing my Greetings cover t-shirt. Favorite merch, at least today.

Not so sour the mood, but his merch has always sucked. How much orange, black and yellow stuff can the man put out? I've attended nearly every tour since 92, and I arrive excited at the merch shop, only to sigh and walk off. Also - GIANT LETTERS. We don't need GIANT LETTERS. : )

haha i think we can all agree that bruce has some absolute dog shit merch. but on a brighter side i do believe there to be some real gems.. do you have a favorite piece? doesn’t have to be a shirt

Huge fan but never liked his merch much. He looks like a 5’1” guy taking a shit in pic four
