The Wildhearts

Two old shirts up on ebay I've just found if anyones interested, they're the tie dyed phuq one and fishing for luckies with the big fish and best of all for all you nay sayers there's not an acoustic guitar in sight


PHUQ shirt

FFL shirt

You'd have thought...



I've got the second one, but it's on a tie-dye. I'm not sure how 'official' it actually is?

Im pretty sure the tiedye one is official as I seem to recall seeing them at the merch stand at the town and country club in leeds back in 95....

How the hell do i remember that when it was over ten years ago and I cant even remember whether I made my bed or not before I left the country.

I'm pretty sure the first one's official, but I'm not sure about the second one.

see i cant even remember which shirt i posted first, forget i said anything, the tie dye one is definatley official its the fish one we're not sure about............is it time for my medication yet?

A good few years ago now I went on a good old fashioned night out with some friends and awoke the next morning a) skint b) with a taste for Lucky Strike and c) wearing a turquois XXL Fishing For Luckies tie dye monstrosity.

To this day I have no idea where it came from, but I hope to God I didn't pay for it.

Yegods, £13 for that monstrosity? It's awful.

The FFL one isn't official, because I remember buying one of those after a gig for a fiver or so..

The biggest give-away is the font is wrong for the wildhearts on the FFL one.

I can remember paying a fortune for an embrodied 'p.h.u.q.' version of the tye dye. When I got it home I discovered it had bad staple holes in it where it must have been hung on the merchandise stand. So I actually found out who the merchandise people where at the time (i.e. the firm who sold the t-shirts on the WH behalf) and called them, they actually sent me the printed version and a 'trial' version of a t-shirt that was never released, once I sent the old one back. How nice was that... so I probably have a unique WH one that nobody else has!! Should get round to flogging it on ebay.

Nice work from the t-shirt people though... that's good customer service!

pictures of the one that didnt get used?

yeah good point... must try and scan that one in or take some photos. I'll get back to you, but don't hold yer breath!

Is now a good time to ahre with you the fact that I won the bidding on one of the FFL shirts?

Got it for £9.00, the last one went for £14.00.

The shirt print smells a bit foisty/musty. It doesn't wash out either. Haven't worn it since I found out it wasn't official. Gutted a bit really.
