Band T-Shirt Swap?

Sign in to disble this ad
I don't know if anyone has done this before, but if they have, I haven't seen anything recent. I have some extra T-shirts from my band's 2010 reunion "tour" that I'd love to swap for a shirt from your band.

These are clean. Never worn. Just leftovers (2 L and 3 XL) that didn't sell. I'll trade one of my mine for one of your L. Cool way to great rid of my shirts and add some (hopefully) bitchin' band shirts to my collection!

Post a photo below and what sizes you have up for swap.

Sounds like a cool idea. Unfortunately I don't have any band t-shirts because I'm not in a band, yet.

This is a good idea! If I had shirts to trade, I totally would be down!

MnAirHead...post a photo of what you have and available sizes. I figure everyone who wants to participate can start an open air swap and contact each other here.

I'm looking for size L.

cool idea. And particularly for bands playing in the same region/market, it'd be a great way to help each other create marketing buzz.

Bump for anyone who wants to join in. Lots of talk, little action so far...

Cool shirts! A bit big for me, but I'm sure we'll get some takers!

Ours can be bought... either at shows with cash, or if you want you can shoot me a PM and we'll work it out with paypal, or check, etc.

Like when I traded my VOL for your Bass Wah. I used one of my old band shirts as padding. A while later, I see a picture of you playing a gig and you were wearing that shirt! Certainly made me smile!
