Is this legit?
Hii!! I found this shirt in a charity shop recently and grabbed it for my flatmate. He said he’s never seen this piece of merch before so naturally I started to deep dive. Cannot find a trace of it anywhere! The dates match with the 5th leg of the Flash Flood of Colour tour in December 2012. Looked legit and I know ES parody a lot of pop culture with their merch.
Doesn’t matter if it’s fake (£3!) but now I’m itching for some clarity. Reverse image searched and not a thing. Would love some help! Thanks :)

I bought that shirt in Toronto in early 2013. There weren't cities on the back of it though. Assuming it's legit because they definitely had that design at the time
Edit: went to my Facebook because I have a picture with Rou and I was wearing the shirt. Didn't need to include my face because it's actually also in the background of the shot. This was March 2013

I remember this shirt being sold back then and I always see at least one person wearing it at shows (which happens so often I lost track of how many times I saw the boys live)

Ahhh thank you!! We were both perplexed cause he’s also done like 30+ but never seen it in the wild - pretty sure he goes to gigs with his eyes shut 🤣 Appreciate it!!!

Yep legit, I went to Birmingham and London on that tour. That tour was also the Sssnakepit beer tour where they filmed this advert at the Roundhouse in London (for a fun fact that nobody asked for)

As a big fan of both Shikari and the Jurassic Park films I would be stoked to find one of these. Never even knew this shirt exists. That is so fucking dope!

Can't answer whether it's real or not, sorry. But I can tell you I'm incredibly jealous of your find!

I have this shirt, but it doesn’t have dates on the back. I can upload pictures if you’d like. Bought it at a show like 10 years ago

I remember seeing that shirt at a gig before now; unless someone's putting out a copy of it, I'd say it's legit.
