> **[Local Vyntage | Nostalgic Apparel | Vintage & Local | Retro Inspired](https://localvyntage.com/)** > > Celebrating local nostalgia through premium apparel. See what you remember and share your memories! I came across this site a while back, and they sell t-shirts (and other stuff) from defunct stores, amusement parks, radio stations, venues, sports teams, etc from all around the country. There are a bunch from New England (where I grew up) that would be worth getting and I would wear proudly. Here’s my pick: [Grants](https://localvyntage.com/products/grants) This was our local department store, back when department stores were a thing. I actually still have a cutting from a cactus I bought at Grants in the 1980s that’s still going. What logos from your past would you wear proudly? ---

I can think of many original concert t-shirts I would love to have from the 70’s when I was too young to go to those concerts. Not sure where to start to name them all… ---

I remember a lot of guys having this tshirt in 8th grade (1984). Be nice to get a brand spanking new one. [https://www.etsy.com/listing/4394236648/lxl-vintage-jimmyz-graphic-on-back-100?gpla=1&gao=1&](https://www.etsy.com/listing/4394236648/lxl-vintage-jimmyz-graphic-on-back-100?gpla=1&gao=1&) ---

NOFX “Punk in Drublic” t-shirt. The black one, with the album cover on the front. I’m not really a NOFX fan and don’t even own the album but I have loved that title ever since it came out. I was a goody-two-shoes wallflower in high school but I remember seeing the punks wearing it and I’d giggle to myself and wished I could have it too. It just tickles my funny bone. Punk in Drublic lol! The shirt is actually generally available and I can afford to get one, I just haven’t made the effort. It’s less that I want it now, but that I want teen me to have had it. ---

I’d love to get another copy of the concert T-shirt I bought at a Yes concert during their _90125_ tour in 1984. I bought one at the concert, and wore it to death. ---

I’m not sure I _want_ it, but when I was in middle school Big Johnson t-shirts (all making the unstated reference to a large penis) were popular. One I still remember: **Big Johnson Bar & Casino** **Liquor up front, poker In the rear** ---

The one I want I am not sure if it even actually existed. I swear I remember a t shirt that said “I don’t want the antidote. I need THE CURE” on the front and a picture of Robert Smith of The Cure on the back. Did this actually exist or it is some weird “mandela effect” misremembering on my part? ---

> [@msmith537](#): > > I feel like when I was in college in the early 90s, Big Johnson was part of a cluster of “frat guy” fashion Absolutely. We used to visit the Wisconsin Dells (a tourist area in central Wisconsin) often, and the main strip that went through the town had a number of shops that sold t-shirts and other tourist crap. In that era, there were several places which had a wide selection of “Big Johnson” t-shirts. 😛 ---

The original Zero shirt from the Smashing Pumpkins. (It’s also my favorite song of all time.) I had an official shirt from Hot Topic and it was my favorite shirt for years. I even had to get a couple of holes mended because I wore it so much. And then it vanished, I have no idea what happened to it. In the film _Scott Pilgrim vs the World_, the protagonist wore that shirt also in one scene. [![](https://d2thvodm3xyo6j.cloudfront.net/media/2013/07/Scott-Pilgrim-Zero-Shirt-600x338.jpg) ](https://d2thvodm3xyo6j.cloudfront.net/media/2013/07/Scott-Pilgrim-Zero-Shirt-600x338.jpg) (Though his version is black and white, and the one I had was black and silver.) I did find a replica shirt that I wear, got it from Amazon, but it’s a knock-off and not the same quality or feel. It also doesn’t have the SP logo on the sleeve or the silver collar and shirt cuffs. I wish I had that original shirt again. ---

Had a bootleg purple tie-dyed shirt from the 1991 Clash of the Titans tour (Slayer/Anthrax/Megadeth, with Alice in Chains). Lost it sometime around 1994, never seen another like in the wild (paid $10 for it in the parking lot) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-long-gone-logo-t-shirt-do-you-want/1026732.md?page=2)
