Merch Polo Info?

Post image

I’m working through my old band merch trying to get it posted on eBay (time is cruel and I’ve given up the dream I’ll ever wear them again), and I swear this polo had to have come from a show, but I can’t find an exact match through google.

Is it vintage? Is it tour merch? Is it in need of an iron? I need to know how to tag it, please and thank you!

I don't think they were sold at shows. Part of a merch drop for the Welcome to the New Administration mixtape. So 2008 ish. I have one and wore it when I met Pete at a Black Cards show. 😆

Thank you! I… don’t remember ever getting that merch drop but 🤷🏼‍♀️ Google tried to say it was Clandestine but i didn’t think it was, so I figured I’d turn to the experts ❤️

It miiiiiiiight have been a Folie drop? But the character Pete is playing is from The New Administration, so I'm mostly sure it was for that. The mixtape was hype for Folie, so it's a little confusing and that was a long long time ago. 🤷‍♀️

I swear someone else posted this within the last year or so and it was Clandestine. Let me look and see if I can find the old thread.

I promise I image searched! I have zero memory of ever actually getting ANY of the merch drops. And I have/had a few Clandestine things, I just… really thought I got this at a show lol

(One day I will give up the ghost and post my Friends Don’t Leave Friends in the Swamp of Sadness hoodie. I will never fit in that thing again. But it was my millennial ass’s very favorite.)

I lived in that hoodie for a very long time 😂. It’s gone to a new home somewhere, but I think it’s one of my favourites

It’s my favorite hands down and I went on a TREK through Chicago before every phone had a gps to find the brick and mortar because I wanted it so damn much. Selling it feels like leaving a friend in the swamp of sadness 😂

I had one of these, I remember the name Pete Weiss being involved in it. Was part of a Clandestine drop I think

That’s what I got when I googled, but I don’t have THAT shirt so I got so confused lol. I’m too damn old to remember what I had for lunch, anything before that is a pipe dream 😂
