Only Stupid Bastards...

[eastmidswhizzkid]

...would try and get hold of a t-shirt from 30 years ago that probably wasnt officially made in the first place, but i'd love an "Only Stupid Bastards Use Heroin"  t-shirt if anyone's got one.

Best of luck with that one

A quick search on the net didn't bring up merchandise but two articles from the LA Times dated in the late 80's.

Thanks scrooge. Couple of interesting reads from way back then.

Didn't Joolz do some re-runs of the print for charity in the last few years? I think they're long gone - but i'll see if I can find the link

EDIT: I did some googling & Joolz did a very limited re-run of the shirt that was auctioned off on ebay to raise cash for a drug charity.

yes Joolz did a limited run for charity and we did manage to get our hands on one of them 

They were white t-shirts with a black ink print which was nice as they were the opposite to the original one. I'll post a photo here of it when I dig it out of the closet.

very nice (and cheap still compared to what some of them auctioned at) but i  really cant wear white, not least because it doesnt stay white for very long. nice of the seller to be donating some of the proceeds to charity as well.

How many of these t shirts were made

Would you want to wear this t shirt that often?

[eastmidswhizzkid]

i have enough collections of different things without starting a t-shirts i dont wear collection.    and it would be a crime to cut the sleeves off so i wouldn't ever wear it. let someone have it who will.

[peternotbaldyet]

Do you have artwork for the t shirt?

The original shirts did come in white and i think I had a yellow one too. Still have my white one and it still fits (just).

The print was a bit wonky like that on both shirts.
