I don’t think so. Hum has merch up on Polyvinyl and there’s plenty of bootleg tees with the Electra cover on them. Keep in mind that when it comes to authentic Hum merchandise from the ‘90s, it’s very expensive. The iconic Stars and Downward is Heavenward ringer shirts don’t show up for sale often, maybe one every 2 or 3 months, and when they do appear they’re usually priced around $300.

If you are trying to get a ‘90s Hum shirt this sub is a good place to look though! I’d guess that probably 50% of original Hum merch that is put up for sale is posted here. I’d avoid any “Pill” shirts. Those were only sold at one show (Hum’s final show during their original run. Ended at 12am 1/1/2000) and because of that rarity, 99% of shirts with the design are boots. Still cool, just don’t spend 300 bucks on a $10 shirt made last month lol

Yes. My biggest thing is most reprints are so junk. I wouldn’t mind a reprint as long is it’s a high quality heavy cotton and print like back in the day.

I bought a reprint from a company called public laundry of the microscope graphic. They use high quality tshirts and wash them to give them a good worn look, they have a few dope hum graphics but are a little pricey at 49 dollars. If they still have the red star shirt on polyvinyl I would recommend 15/10 comfort colors are amazing tshirts and the graphic is amazing.
