South Wales band using Richey on new shirts
Just randomly spotted this one, a hardcore band from south Wales called 'Harbour' have used a slightly "modified" image of Richey on their new shirts.



Anyones opinions?

I hope Nicky doesn't discover that. That's pretty cheap really....I'd be pissed off if I was the band.

Really poorly photoshopped and very trashy, apalling.

Badly made.
And why would a hardcore band use Richey?
Just makes them look more than a little bit desperate.

Yeah, most people in the general musical public aren't going to stare at the arm long enough to figure out it says something other than 4Real. (for one, most people aren't as familiar with the exact image as manics fans, the other being it's really difficult to make out, I would have had trouble figuring it out if I didn't know what it said).
So basically, it looks like a bootleg manics shirt. So Their fans will be advertising the wrong band. How is that good for them?

are they actually likely to sell any shirts?
Does anyone actually buy local band shirts anymore? Or did they ever?

Richey = the new symbol of h.c. punk, South Wales and welshness in general?

Yeah, They're not actually a band, that's just a cover for their bootleg shirts market stall.

I think Richey would have been happier to be shelling Coca Cola on his bloody arm, than some shit band.
