Bad Brains – Supreme Collaboration

In the past few years, The Bad Brains have been striking hard on the merch scene. They’ve pumped out plenty of tees to Hot Topic and your local mall. And they’ve also worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. Everyone from Vans to Supreme. And not just once with Vans, but OVER and OVER again. From hemp chukkas to capital building lighting strike Sk8 His.

Then there is Supreme. While no one can disparage the mightiness that is the Bad Brains, this tee pretty much falls flat. Real fucking flat.

I’m not sure how many of you have seen the Pay To Cum EP picture sleeve, but the front side of that tee is a super bootleg version of it. It’s like Supreme grabbed a third generation photocopied Pay To Cum sleeve, blew it up, saved it at 60 DPI and just said PRINT. Ugh. Why bother? It looks terrible. And then to have the gall to charge $40 retail (at the very least, I’m sure). Wow. It blows my mind.

They’d be better off blasting that PMA text real big. That’d get my attention and probably a few sheckles too.

The moral of this story: don’t half ass anything related to the Bad Brains. It just makes you look weak.
