Ryker's Ryker‘s - “Brother against Brother” Shirt

DavyJones480Thu, 25/04/2024 - 14:45

First of all: The best Hardcore Band in Germany & Europe (end of discussion). Second of all:
Ryker’s “Brother against Brother” shirt with a great color. Back in the days the Ryker’s had cheap and great shirts in lot of different colors on their shows. Of course, nowadays nearly everybody claim that they were on their concerts back in the 90s.…
This shirt was printed & ordered from “nastrovje Potsdam” and a lot of hardcore bands had shirts and merch in the 90s on this mail order. The Brother against Brother layout was also printed on Screen Stars blanks back then. What I want to point out is that the print is still in a fantastic condition (on nearly each of my shirts from this mail order) and we talk here about 30!!! years. Nowadays when I wash a new shirt for example four times, the print begins to crack and after one year the shirt is fucked up!
So and as an addition I uploaded an old article from the “Visions magazine” about the band (in German). It is from the time when the Ryker’s were popular and they also talk in this about their shirts on shows and so on.
Damn, I miss the 90s and the good old times…

Finally someone who still knows Nastrovje Potsdam! This mail order still exists today but I don't think they make band shirts anymore and even if they did, it wouldn't be comparable to the quality of the 90s... I always like to write a bit more about my shirts but basically this is like "throwing pearls before swine" here on tshirtslayer as we like to say in Germany. You make the effort, write a bit of background information and/or the story behind the shirt but in the end nobody cares. In future maybe I'd rather just post the shirt with the front and the back without any comment and that's it.
But anyway, thanks for your feedback and the flames buddy 😎🤘🏻

I was born in Potsdam. I still have an ancient mid-90s shirt which belonged to my brother saying "Männer müssen stinken!" printed my NP. Ryker's had a great cover of Venom's "Witching Hour". I think it was on the Ground Zero album. I liked them. because they always had more metal in the sound.

yeah....Ryker's Witching hour is the best cover of this song i ever heard. Better then all other Metalbands, who have covered the same track! ..fucking love it! What a great band :D

maybe..sometimes...yeah..feels like 'peal before swines' ....my text's went also a bit shorter, then at the start here.
But anyway - i love that, when some1 have infos about the item, background stories or his one memories and stories about a item, and shares them with all. I like that, and appreciate every text :D

And yeah..NP still exist as far as i know...but what they are selling now...is horrible...a complete different shop nowadays...ppfff...
Unbelievable what was made out of this fantastic Shop...
Same goes for Lost & Found records...god i miss this shop, i bought sssoooo many stuff there.
Merch and records....good old times :)

Thanks for your kind words my friend! I like it as well when somebody write always his history or the history in general of the shirt or the printing!
Yes, if you want some series shirts (sesame street) or film stuff like for example minions shirts then you can buy some stuff in the today’s NAPO shop 😉. I haven’t found any band merch there but maybe I have overseen something….
Yeah, the good old Lost and found catalog 😄👍🏻. I remember the sign and the stuff inside like it was yesterday. They had if I remember correctly mostly stuff of hardcore bands like Battery or Ignite.

You’re right, good old times….🤘🏻

Nastrovje! Kenn ich noch geil man, da hast echt verblichene Erinnerungen empor geholt! Ich war damals iwie noch zu jung, aber ich 3rinner mich an Patrick im Bus, buzzcut und Jeden Tag den rykers hoody in dunkel blau. Bin relativ spät dann wieder zu rykers gekommen und wirklich eine unfassbare Power! Da brauchen manche aus NYC gar nicht die fresse so aufreissen.

Und noch jemand der das Label bzw. den Mailorder noch kennt 👍🏻😎! Freut mich das ich da ein paar Erinnerungen bei dir wecken konnte 😉. Die hatten echt geiles Zeugs damals, vor allem wenn ich mir noch die alten Preislisten von damals dazu anschaue!!

Was die Band angeht, dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen 🤘🏻
