coryemis Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not sure why I got the urge to post this, but here it is. I collected Alkaline Trio shirt from 98 - until about a year ago. I never paid over $20 for a shirt. Most of them were purchased at shows, but a lot were bought online (cinderblock/ebay/any other merch site.) I lost a lot of interested when Heather Hannoura Gable wasn't the main artist for these shirts. Although I never was really sure who the artist was, just assuming. With that being said here is my Alkaline Trio shirt collection. I know there are Alkaline Trio fans on VC. So, I hope someone might appreciate these as much as I do.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 very impressive. never seen that black and red striped shirt at the top, but I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I got it at Hot Topic a few years ago. The stripes don't go all the way around or I would have liked it a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 oh, I was hoping they did too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Very cool. I did the same, for a while. I think my favorite was the bat-glasses one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryemis Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, I really like that one. It is a size too big so I only wore it once or twice, but it was only a couple of bucks on ebay. I couldn't help myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiebullets Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i don't think i own that many band shirts total...nice collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammyg Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I bought an Alkaline Trio Hurley polo from West 49 a couple months ago and ended up returning it. Out of curiosity, would you have bought it from me? I don't know if they were hard to find or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 And I thought I had a lot of ALK3 shirts......VERY nice! Still bums me out that I passed on a bunch of Goddamnit era shirts a few years ago on eBay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedavidescapeplan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 WHOA! This is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I never heard of an Alkalino Trio polo, I will be searching for this later. Depends on the price. I never wanted to spends tons of cash. $10-25 probably yes. I did narrow my collection down to Men's tee shirts. I almost added hoodies (I have three) to the collection, but they are too expensive in general. I didn't start collecting until Maybe I'll Catch Fire era. There are a few I passed on early that I am still kicking myself about. *edit* I saw an old listing for the shirt, but no picture. $45 ouch If I liked the design maybe, but like i said, no pic on the site.

tylerrr Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Which one is the oldest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 The oldest one I can honestly say is from the MICF era is the hearse (4th one down on the right) If you believe the guy I bought it from on ebay it would be the gray heart (6 from the right, 3 down) supposedly it was one of their first shirts. I have never investigated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 And I thought I had a lot of ALK3 shirts......VERY nice! Still bums me out that I passed on a bunch of Goddamnit era shirts a few years ago on eBay! Funny, I think I remember the same bunch of shirts posted all at the same time. I was out of town when they ended and none of my bids were high enough to hold on for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah there was like 5 or 10 of them. I won one but should have bid on some of the others. And the polo is long gone....should have got one on the Hurley site ($45) but never had Medium for sale so I passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihprstl Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I donated 3 trashbags full of shirts I don't wear anymore last year, but this is one of the few I couldn't get rid of. I got this at a show they played at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville before Goddamnit came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The girl and goat one that you have three of (4th row down) dates back to pre-MICF. The band had those in both shirts and hoodies when I booked them in January 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannonball Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Pretty sure that tee w Wizard of Oz characters( top row/4th in) is an older one too....atleast in that colorway. Now there on the Asian Man website and other places but they're white w a black decal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 It definitely is an older design. I think it may be a bootleg. I am not sure. I know there are a few bootlegs in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
