My girlfriend thinks Battles has a tee-shirt that incorporates the Nike logo. Can anyone confirm this?

― Nigel (Nigel), Friday, 24 June 2005 19:24 (twenty years ago)

yes they do.

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 24 June 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

Is there an image of that shirt floating around anywhere?

They're really bad at this, aren't they.

I'm not exactly sure which periodical the front cover is borrowing from, but the back cover pic of Jah Wobble tweaks the TIME font, and the inner pic of the drummer (pre-Atkins) mimics the old LIFE logo.
