Rage against the machine - „Evil Empire / Fear is your only God“ shirt

Shit-fucking reprint of the „Evil Empire“ shirt from 1996.
I thought I should buy as a addition to my original “EE” from ‘96 a new reprint of the shirt what I can wear sometimes. But what should I say?! The print on the front is ok but the back….seriously?! The slogan “Fear is your only God” from the song “Vietnow” is totally crooked and way to high lol! I thought about to exchange this one but it was so cheap, it is not worth with the high shipping costs!
I think really nowadays the official merchandise mail order and their quality sucks more and more…

lI agree with the quality being really bad with a lot of shirts. Strangely enough I've ordered this same shirt twice about 8 months ago (printed on 180 grams Gildan's) and these look much better then yours and the 2006 and 2008 versions I also own myself.

The E140/140 grams B&C shirts are poor to begin with, too bad, cause the E190/180 grams B&C shirts are much better and would give a much better print/shirt. I usually order shirts using EMP and send them right back to them if the print is really bad.

Even the EMP suck nowadys! Fun fact: I purchased this shirt from EMP 😄! I don’t know how old you are but the old folks will remember in the 90s was EMP the hot shit with so much great merch from the coolest bands and brands like for example “Blue Grape Merchandise”, nowadays you can not imagine this anymore and every time when I get the new EMP magazine and see the stuff inside I have to laugh because I remember the good old days….

I think in the 90's it was a real profession to make T-shirts, now it's something a lot of people do.
I'm 47 now but thrown all of my 90's shirts away like my Bodycount shirt and my Geto Boys promo shirt that I got from the local record dealer back in the 90's for being his best customer.

A few years ago in Japan Insonnia released a bunch of RATM long sleeves that looked to be made with great craftsmanship. I don't own any of them, but wish I did.

I had to look at a few of these, since I'm wearing a 2010 reprint right now, and I'm glad I checked yours since you know what's up! Long gone is my 1996 Giant-licensed version - I remember it started to get this massive holes all over after a short time, and I'm pretty sure my mother tossed it after only a couple years. My reprint is decent enough and mostly consistent with how I remember the original, but the height of the back print is the first thing I noticed. It's almost right under the neck, where my original had it more across the lower shoulder blades. I'll post it soon.

Hi brother, yes on the original is the back print between or lower the shoulder blades. Even on the longsleeve version with the tour dates what for example Brad Wilk wore on the ‘96 pinkpop festival is it not so high like on this shitty reprint.
