New T-Shirt on the official site

#1 Post by tottenhammattspurs »

It's a new "PSB since 1984" release. West end Girls T-Shirt at a slightly jaunty angle. Yours for £40.


£40 for a t-shirt. What a time to be alive.

I see a lot of effort went into that

At least their protractor works

Gaaah, why add more items to the store just a week or two after the previous update? Of course I like that they add items, but several small orders from the store add up to quite large shipping and customs costs.

They put the Japan merch on when playing in Japan. They're put the West End girls merch on because of the anniversary of their first number one. The dates dictated the releases.

It's rather cheeky to charge €45 for that.

Well that's a bit freaky, because in the small hours whilst trying to get back to sleep I was thinking about the "PSB Since 1984" range and how it had been said that more was coming and now this arrives a few hours later!

I do understand that, of course, but we’re talking ~1 week here… releasing the West End girls T-shirt at the same time as the Japanese merch would still have been near the anniversary. If so I might have bought it, but if I was to order it separately it would cost me €18 extra plus extra handling fees from the customs and I’m not THAT keen on that shirt :) . So, less sales for PSB.

Having several product releases within just a couple of weeks makes it more expensive for the fans, and that extra money isn’t going to PSB since it is postage and tariffs etc.

£40 for something that’s setting off my ocd, no thanks. Would’ve been better if Farrow had come up with something a bit more imaginative. The whole Since ‘84 series so far has been, erm, interesting lol.

I guess reinventing the wheel isn't Farrow's strong point.

The Disco 5 cover is brilliant, but this could have been designed by a child.

Well this must have taken Farrow all of two minutes to "design"..

Ironic given Farrow didn't design the 12" or the 7" cover that is on the t-shirt.

Am I the only one who would rather turn the picture to the left than the right? Or at least flipped "PET SHOP BOYS".

I think it's one of their few good-looking shirts, honestly. They're generally rubbish, but this is very PSB.
