This T Shirt by Amplified is available from Next (www.next.co.uk), bit pricey at £35 but I presume it is officially licensed?

Firetrap also have a "Beastie" shirt but not sure if it relates to Beastie Boys or not, that can also be bought from Next.

There is also a Run DMC t shirt by Amplified on there too...

oh great, now the beasties are a tongue in cheek tshirt icon to be ironically worn by ironic indie kids (n)

Yeah I agree.

I do actually like the T Shirt but at least I can wear it knowing I actually have been a fan since the 80's, some kids are gonna wear it purely because of their iconic status and not because they really know or understand the band.

One positive offshoot of this is that it may help spread the word as it were and hopefully introduce some kids to 20 odd years of great music?

I don't think so. At least I didn't see this effect when H & M sold those Motörhead and Ramones-Shirts some years ago. :)

$70 for a t-shirt? Ridiculous.

what a big bag of balls that is.

Why does it have to have 87 on it? Is that some spotty ginger speccy four-eyed student twat can wear it claiming they have been into them for years.
Its like everything from PB onwards doesnt mean shit.

And if there are any spotty ginger speccy four-eyed student twats reading this, I still am one (http://www.beastiemixes.com/remixer.php?id=28)but with less spots and a job.

DON'T BUY THAT SHIRT!!!

I bought this (http://www.frontlineshop.com/SID=si34a79977e984de99bcf9861ebbcfe9/index.php?screen=me.product&TreeNodeID=457774&VariantTreeNodeID=457594) also from Amplified and washed it only once and it's just completely washed-out. They said it could be washed in the washing machine at 30° C and now all the other clothes are greyish-dirty :(

It's way too expensive for a oneway t-shirt. All the shirts from the shop her are so much better... :mad:

i saw the black version on the website for a shop here but allthough i really liked it there's no fucking way i'm spending £35 for a t-shirt and i was pretty miffed they were doing the 'ironic' 80's thing with the beasties.
but i haven't seen one person wearing it and the shop pulled the whole range i think and i got one on ebay for about £4!!! i love a bargain. would rather buy from the bb store but they never have the size i want-or rather i don't know how small is small(admin??)
seems to be holding up in the wash tho and my machine only goes down to 40

Just make sure you wash it seperately. The used-look is okay (not great though), but it really sucks if you ruin a whole machine-load for one t-shirt which was damn-expensive anyway... (just becaues I really wanted the glittering logo :rolleyes:).

I 100% totally agree.....you'll end up seeing some muppet wearing it probably don't even know Beastie Boys are a band...just some sort of saying, like sexy girl!
