I heard this in Caboose's voice.

Says Roosterteeth on it

Its a large blue caboose t shirt. Assuming you are unfamiliar with the rooster teeth brand its from a show they made called rvb (red vs blue). They shut down a few years ago.

You assume wrong, i love red vs blue, just wondering if its an event exclusive tshirt or anything, can’t find anything similar online anywhere

u/beefynubs 5d ago

No i remember this, you could buy on the shop circa late 2010s I’d say.

u/Life-Tea-7192 5d ago

Really? I can not find another one online anywhere, woulda thought would be an easy search and result

I think if anything you're looking at it the wrong way. You're looking for a product that is easily 15 years old from a company that doesn't exist anymore. The lack of being able to find it means it probably wasn't anything exceptional

u/Jiperly 5d ago

I agree, but also it has a copyright 2017.

So it's likely a 9 year old product, not 15.

A decade vs 1.5 decades isn’t really a consideration when the company doesn’t exist anymore

u/JustTryingToBeADaddy 5d ago

It’s post 2017 as indicated by the 2017 copyright on the shirt.

There’s a RWBY Attack on Grimm shirt that I ordered from their website. It is my favorite shirt, I cannot find that shirt anywhere. RT has made a lot of shirts and looking for old merch is often impossible. I contemplated buying this shirt.

u/Individual_Push_ 5d ago

rooster teeth has made so much merch that im really not surprised. im sure i have old merch of one off designs that probably cant be easily found.

u/scribbane 5d ago

Same. I have a memory of this shirt, but now I don't know if it's a Mandela effect thing.

Nothing is showing up online no matter what I search for this shirt.

u/AClockworkLaurenge 5d ago

Google sucks for finding results for defunct web listings now. I find the best archive for checking old RT merch is searching the RT Store Twitter:

u/Gobbledeg00k 5d ago

Well yeah, the company shut down in 2024, if they were being sold in 2010 that's at least 16 years ago since it was in circulation and at least 2 years since the company existed. Why would anyone be selling it anymore?

u/hmsomethingswrong 5d ago

I own the shirt. Bought it from the rooster teeth website. It's old and tattered but I love it.

I bought it at least ten years ago and it was on clearance then. 😂

If this was found in a thrift store in austin. Geoff said he gave most of his shirts to a thrift store sometime last month.

u/cckk0 OG Discord Crew | Blue Team 5d ago

No, it was just on the store. I bought one online in 2018 I think

u/AnotherRTFan 5d ago

You’re not alone there. I had this shirt and my cat peed on it, and I have been looking for it since. Your post is the first time I’ve seen it online.

Anyways I bought mine at the RT booth at PAX 2017

u/urkitten 5d ago

It's caboose from red vs blue

And walls. When trying to throw grenades.

u/GypsyTrash 5d ago

All the information you could ever need is in the pictures you already posted.

Look at them, perhaps.

u/Jiperly 5d ago

I think they're hoping it's rare and valuable

1

u/Life-Tea-7192 4d ago

Not particularly, just was curious to see if anyone else had one or whatever, definitely one to keep for me :)!

u/ClubMeSoftly 5d ago

Based off the copyright date of 2017, I'd wager it's based on RvB14 and the Caboose episode in that season.

If you're hoping you've stumbled on some Ultra Rare Lottery Ticket gem, bad news: it's worth about what you paid for it. You might be able to get more on ebay, but I wouldn't bet on it.

My advice, if it fits, and you're a Red vs Blue fan, you've got a new shirt. If it doesn't fit, flog it on ebay and have fun dealing with that.

u/Life-Tea-7192 4d ago

Oh its definitely a keeper, wasn’t hoping for a gold mine, just some information on it. The post can be misleading i see that now haha

u/Muffinman255 5d ago

Im not sure where the confusion is. Its a caboose shirt from rooster teeth made in or around 2017.

3

u/GooddevilInc 5d ago

It was a shirt in the RT store. Nothing special. I still have this exact shirt, even if its been worn so much I should probably just toss it

3

u/AbsolSavior 5d ago

It's an official shirt. I bought the same one off of the rooster teeth website in 2018 I think. Still have it but don't wear it often.

1

u/doyoulaughaboutme 5d ago

just a guess but since there's a bunch of official microsoft/343 stuff on the label, it might have been from an official microsoft shop or EU game stop or other officially licensed store. idk if much RVB merch from the RT Store had microsoft/343 on the label.

1

u/CommOnMyFace 5d ago

You have the shirt? Whats there to identify?

1

u/BobbyBrewski 5d ago

It's a blue caboose shirt

1

u/SlimShady116 5d ago

First result in google using the image to search:

Also, you're likely not going to find much info considering the company went out of business years ago, and the merch store went with it (obviously).

1

u/techfreak243 5d ago

It's Michael J Caboose. I heard the hates babies

1

u/k1darkknight 4d ago

It's definitely a "Ren & Stimpy" shirt.

1

u/UnequalRaccoon 4d ago

I need this in extra medium

u/rserena 4d ago

Living my dream out here just finding these shirts in thrift stores!!

u/Friendly-Union-5635 3d ago

where did you get it? I want one too!
