			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>T-shirts have long been an important aspect for many bands. They are often the one piece of merchandise outside of the albums/singles that fans own. They serve several functions including: allowing a fan to show their support for the band, raise awareness of the band and raising money for the band as shirts are cheap to produce.</p>
<p>Below are a selection of iconic shirts featuring where possible the cast of Flickr. I do not feature in any of the images ha. I&#8217;m aware some shirts aren&#8217;t strictly original and are lame-ass re-issues. This also isn&#8217;t intended to be a complete list by any means. Just 18 t-shirts that I like a lot and are iconic for various reasons.<br />
