Red Hot Chile Peppers - ChiliHead - Best Tag

Post by onetruevintage »

Picked this up from a vintage sale pile recently and I'm guessing it was looked over as an RHCP tee since it's not immediately obvious. Only comp I've been able to find is a crewneck version on eBay for ~$450. It's single stitch on a Best tag with a couple stains and light fade, and appears to actually be vintage, or at least be printed on a well-worn vintage blank. Any help?

Love this, but no relation to Red Hot Chili Peppers - it's Chile Peppers, a celebration of spicy stuff - probably influenced by the band name.

"Certified chilehead" is a term used to describe someone who is deeply passionate and knowledgeable about chili peppers.

Ah good catch! Maybe meant to be a spoof tee?

They were probably leveraging the band name to promo their goodies.
