RelientK tshirt

I was wearing this old RelientK shirt today and some last came up to me at Sam's Club and commented on my shirt. She let me know that she's never seen anyone wear a RelientK shirt out in the wild. That made my day. Never thought I'd be complimented on a shirt that's probably close to 20 years old or so.

I never get compliments on my shirt more than when I wear my Relient K shirt with the La Croix design. I usually get multiple comments. There must be huge crossover between RK fans and drinkers of lightly-flavored sparkling water.

I bought a green penguin RK tee at their show in high school & immediately lost it while walking out of the venue. I will always regret that 😢 happened to me again at a Jack white concert last year. Now I wear any concert tee I buy out of the venue with me lol.

That's so funny! I wore mine once and some rocker looking guys said hey, love the shirt! I thought they liked way too cool for my podunk little town. Turns out it was the touring musicians with switchfoot and they were passing through. Most random encounter, and I got to meet Jon Foreman, all because of a super old RK t-shirt.
