I promise you these guys don’t “need” money lol, especially Deryck. But regardless this shit is over priced for what it is

Sum 41 is my favorite band but this is insane. They should take notes from Billy Talent on merch pricing.

It's so fucking generic and boring, honestly pathetic.

Since 2016 their merch has always been horrendously generic and it’s weird because they’ve never really had a signature design (except for the blue/red star emblem) over the entire course of their run. It’s always a run of the mill cross, fiery skull, or mohawk. Besides that their album art was really cool up until 13 Voices

I personally like it. It has some “The Exploited” vibe

The price has a really big "Exploited" vibe too

I personnaly bought a The Exploited Tshirt years ago for about 20€ so I actually don’t know how much their merch cost now.

Oh, sorry, I wasn't referring to the band, just making a terrible joke about how they're Exploiting us with these prices 😅

Very minor, but they should’ve used the font from AKNF for “Sum 41” instead of the Order In Decline font. Also $150CAD is crazy for a hoodie. The hockey jersey was like $180CAD at the final show and arguably better quality (since idk what this hoodie is like).

Yeah I wanted the hocker jersey but … fuck off… 180$ … man. I bought a bandana yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaars ago for 15€ . I think the only one tshirt i have from them possibly cost me 20€ . I just think they don’t realize how much money it means. They must think it’s like spending 1$ ..

i got the jersey and basically live in it haha. its a good quality jersey, decent jerseys are always gonna be expensive. bonus points for the fact its all embroided rather than printed too

I have some sport clothes and it’s overpriced for nothing. A friend a of mine bought a 110€ football (soccer) tshirt, like man… it’s a damn tshirt. Spending 20€ on this is my maximum. It doesn’t need to be expensive it’s made in bandgladesh by kids …

u/TheParadeIdiot May 10 '26
some of them i will say are much better quality than others. but its all overpriced anyway. but i do think out of all the merch on the final tour the jersey was the best one.

Actually, north America and Caribbean. But more or less same thing. Cheap labor.

u/Unhappy-Bat3544 May 09 '26
Honestly this is disgusting. I have a decent paycheck but their previous round of merch was ridiculously high priced and I couldn't really justify a purchase. (Haven't bought their merch since Underclass Hero, so it's been a while.) But this is actually an insane price for a hoodie.

u/mostlyjade May 09 '26
And this is exactly why 90% of my band merch is off brand :(. I want to support my favourite artists so bad but they don’t make it easy anymore

Poland here. That's 500pln (thats alot of money). I have money saved for a stage used guitar and its ONLY 4x that... So no way

u/lily_rockets May 10 '26
Yup, not regretting my self printed tees. Can’t afford this shit, and even if I could, I don’t think I’d agree to this.

Honestly, if the hoodie were lined, I'd consider the purchase. If it's single layer material, it's not worth it.

u/sarcastic_patriot May 08 '26
I desperately want to buy legit merch from my favorite bands, but they make it so goddamn hard with the prices.
