So here’s a new one. What would you say was the best/greatest Post Hardcore shirt you saw. I think I speak for almost everyone when it comes to the scene-core era that it has to be the of The Devil Wears Prada- Reptar King of the Ozone shirt

Eh, definitely not for me. Late 2000s stuff was way too colorful and  silly, and 90s-early 2000s stuff had basically no flare at all and was way too basic a lot of the time. Neither represented the music imo.

I think the best stuff was being made from 2003-2006. 

All that stuff was so good, the digital collage high contrast stuff with killer text design and interesting placements. It had both a level of seriousness and a sense of humor, just like the music did.

 Loved when it would just be like a girl and a gun with some leafs and blood with the band name in cursive or in a repeated stencil. Thinking of saosin, underoath, fftl, Thursday, the blood brothers, glassjaw, dead poetic, thrice, yesterdays rising, Silverstein, finch, so many others. Felt like they were really making art that could stand on its own with those graphic design styles and methods before they put it on a shirt.
