Manics Tour T-shirts.

Not too long ago, I got this awesome EMG-era US tour shirt off of eBay...it's a brownish-grey color with the EMG logo on front and a quote on back ("Mute icons are the only kind of beauty we find acceptable today." - Mark Rothko). Are there any other shirts from this era out there? Is there any way I can find them?

Kabumpo!

I have that exact same one!

It's more purplish, though.

I also have a LB tour jersey T-Shirt, as well as a KYE promotional T-Shirt that's so worn out I only use it for working out.

Same here. I have a fuck load of Manics t-shirts from GT to Lifeblood. I really should sell more of them but I love them...

My favourite is a Reading 92 one which I bought from a drunk man in the student's union. He took it off, I gave him a fiver and he went off to get another beer. Topless.

Anyway, in answer to the original question, are there any inparticular you're looking for? I could probably part with a couple if you let me know what you're after...

My Lipstick Traces t shirt has shrunk around the neck, so my head can barely get through now and I don't have a BIG head either

I think it'd be cool to own a shirt from each album/era. There's a plethora of them out there, I know. Is there any way you can take some pictures of some shirts so I can see what they look like?

People who wear band T-Shirts are sad cunts. It looks crap, and it just makes you a marketing whore for the band and their record label. The Manics/Sony are earning enough money as it is, they don't need me going around with their corporate shite scribbled all over my clothing. It's just as bad as going around with Nike ticks or Addidas logos or whatever.

...anyway...let me know about those shirts, Clover.

I've tried to wrangle together all the Manics shirts I have, but most of them have faded to spectre like points, so the only really wearable ones I have are a Gold Against one with the great cover artwork on, Hell is Other People shirt, a Lifeblood tour and a Holy Bible long sleeved deal. But even that's shrunk through frequent washes, fun designs though.

Oh man, I would step over my own mother for that shirt.

I've seen a few of them floating around on the old eBay and other internet marketplaces, it's one of my less worn due to it having no real design, it reminds me of what Joy Division would have...

Might you name a few of these "other internet marketplaces"?

Right now it would probably just be eBay, some dedicated trading sites used to have similar stuff, but generally now it's just eBay me thinks. The GATS shirts generally seem the best in my opinion.
