Sick of it all - „The pain strikes“ shirt / Size: XL

“The pain strikes” the most known Sick of it all shirt from the 90s. Deadstock and perfect/new condition- never washed or worn!
I also added here two pictures of the package because some people ask or write me during the years If I bought all my stuff just in concerts or mail orders. The fact is back in the 90s you could also go to record stores (not many of them exists nowadays anymore) and you could buy a lot of merchandise/shirts like this shirt in this kind of packages. Besides you could hang out there with your friends after school, listen a lot of great music and check out the new releases. The today’s generation cannot imagine this anymore....

Ok, enough nostalgia ;). Here some facts about the shirt:

This piece existed in so many variants like for example:

* Black shirt/longsleeve with red front & back print plus white dragon
* Black shirt/longsleeve with white front & back print plus red dragon
* Black hoodie version with band logo and “Return of the dragon” print on the sleeve
* Orange and brown shirt/longsleeve with white front & back print and blue dragon and additional dragon logo and band name on the sleeve
* ....and so on, maybe I forgot one version ;)))

Note: The back print is designed by New York Tattoo artist Steven Huie.
He took for this Sick of It All shirt on the back print the band’s logo and turned it into a Japanese dragon being slayed by a samurai with skulls in the foreground.
Fun fact: Steven met his wife on a Sick of it all show (and so the circles closes) :).

interesting to see the developments that took place between your and my generation. I’m from ‘86, which was a great year metalwise, but by the time I started listening to metal and wearing band tees, a decline in terms of quality had already set in. You could still buy tees in record stores tho
