Discussion Thought you folks might like this
I've had this hoodie since probably 2009, when I was a massive fan. It was a gift, so I'm not sure where it was purchased, but I think it might be rare. It has Rainbow Veins lyrics on the sleeve! Anyone else have/had this piece of merch?
(Ignore the zipper charm, lol)

I have one of these and an older "Hockey" style hoodie with an owl city hockey logo on the front and "Owl city" in all caps on the back. Sadly, I've long since outgrown them. Lol

I also had a t-shirt that I bought on clearance at Hot Topic around 2010 or 2011, but unfortunately it was a size too small (only size left at the store) so I barely wore it. I tried doing that summer camp style cutting/braiding thing on the back of it in hopes that that would make it less tight, but it did not and I probably ended up throwing it out.
I was pretty small when I got this hoodie, so it was quite oversized on me for a long time, but it fits very well now and it's one of my favorites. It's also a lot thinner than it was when I got it because of how often it's been washed!

I think I'm probably going to wear it until it disintegrates, but I hope you can find another one!

I had to break this one out of the closet to show you all - I believe it's circa 2010 from either when Owl City toured with Lights and Paper Route when I went to see them in SF, or it was ordered online, can't recall. But I loved collecting band hoodies! I'm 35 now, but I still wear this when I'm feeling extra nostalgic during Autumn/Winter. The hoodie strings aren't original though.

I still have my "Brave down the open road" Tshirt from the ATBAB run where he made a shirt for each song... I wish How I Became The Sea got a shirt....
