THE RIP OFF CHRONICLES

been awhile since i've posted ripped off graphics, logos, and tees. here is one courtesy of my friend Kaitlyn. i bet they figured if they flipped the gun print backwards that they could use that as defense. hmmmm, i guess the brand's name is count down? couldn't tell with all of the rip off going on in the shirt.

ORIGINAL - ROGUE STATUS - GUN-SHOW TEE


RIP OFF - COUNT DOWN - GUN GRAPHIC TEE



ok, this next one is a 3 part rip off! it comes by the way of a brand called Unauthorized Ink and Anchor Blue. the tee was made for a group which i actually like called Psycho Realm. i actually used to really like the Unauthorized Ink brand too and i still admire the work of the brand's owner and designer - Big Tiny who is a tattoo artist, graphic artist, and clothing designer. in fact, he designed the FM$ 'Dice' tee many seasons back. i lost a lot of respect for him because he was interested in sponsoring my band years back and also wanted me to street team for them. dude asked me to send him $100 to be on his street team! whack! and lastly, Anchor Blue is even more whack. i know Big Tiny does freelance work - Bobby from The Hundreds told me that he might be the one behind the Anchor Blue tee as well. that's a first - a triple rip off!

ORIGINAL - THE HUNDREDS - EIGHTEEN TEE


RIP OFF - UNAUTHORIZED INK - PSYCHO REALM TEE

so next up we have a FM$ and a 187 Inc. shirt. 187 Inc. is a brand from the Orange County his has numerous rip offs behind its belt. this one isn't that blatant but given the brands history - i know it is one.
