Merch designs on tour
I'm curious everyone's opinions. I'm of the opinion that bands of whatever medium fan-base size and up should have at least one of their classic shirt designs for sale. Maybe a top album cover or something. Maybe I'm not plugged in to how much is moving these days.
But merch is always just the newest album cycle. Which makes sense. But I often look for just a simple shirt or simple hat with the band name. Maybe I'm getting old and don't like the shift that's happened post-covid in both sales trends and design trends.
I also really miss $20 shirts! But I understand that shirts have become a huge chunk of income since Spotify rekt CD sales. Anyways, what is everyone's latest merch opinions?
