Sharks Richey T-shirt
Anyone seen this?
Great band sharks but don't really understand their rational behind using the pic, other than iconic rock image.

I wish they just fucked off.
I won't buy this t-shirt, but as long as they're paying for the use of Richey's image...
INWRWHW. Maybe.

Before I clicked on the link I was about to do a long spiel about how the early Manics appropriated iconic images too, then I saw they were selling them rather than just wearing them. Grr.

Seem to remember another band having a t-shirt like this which came to our attention a while ago. As I recall the reaction here was rather 'frosty' to say the least...

The band was 'Harbour'. Don't see the big deal.

Yeah, I was thinking we'd had this conversation before! That was only a few months ago too. They'd edited the image to have the band name over the '4 real' which made things a little worse.

^ At least they'd done something to the image to kind of make it their own, though. This is just laaaazy.

Thanks Quatercircle.

I find it very WTF. He's not even their band member?

I'm sure they've got some sort of reason.

Maybe someone who's on Twitter can ask them?
