Uploaded with ImageShack.usHey everyone. This is a t-shirt that i had back in 97, i wore it until the shirt fell apart.. literally. I've been looking for one ever since. I know you cant really tell much from the picture so here is a brief description: Black shirt, Blind Melon written in wavy letters covering the back. I cant really remember what was on the front. I want to say it was probably the bee girl.. but i cant be sure. Can anyone identify this shirt? Thanks.. Here is a link to a video where i am wearing the shirt.. you never see the front, but you can see the back more clearly through the progession of the video:

I'm pretty sure I know that shirt. I didn't have the bee girl on the front, but it has that psychadelic image of what I can only describe as "Blue Meanie (the characters from the Beatles Yellow Submarine, not the mushroom)" looking things on the front (two of them), with a green arrow above them.. I think the band used the image to influence the backdrop for the 2007/2008 'reunion' tour with travis.. They pop up on Ebay every so often! Edit, I found a picture Uploaded with ImageShack.usI believe promo shirts for "Soup" (and it's tour) were the last Melon Shirts from the Hoon era. I don't believe any were printed up in 1996 (from what I've seen anyway). The font/logo on the back of the shirt you posted returned (albeit smaller) for a shirt after the reunion, I have one.. Same writing, but smaller, with a credit card sized image of the same thing printed on the front left (where a pocket would usually bee). It's also used as a logo at the top of this page! I thought that was really cool how they dipped into the past going forward!

Not sure if this is the one you meant but it is the one referenced above. I got this off eBay several months ago and I've seen it a few times since. I actually have this shirt in 2 sizes - Large and XL - this being the Large one (that is in much better condition). The XL one is in OK shape but it's much more faded out. Here's the front image attached.

...and the back: And you know, since I have 2 of these, and IMO the XL is not one I would ever wear because it's kind of short (in length). If this is the shirt you're talking about let me know because I'd be happy to sell it to you for like $20 or something if you want it. I can send specific pics of it if you want to see how it looks. It's not bad just faded more. When I bought these they both said "93 tour shirt" though so I don't know if they're the ones you meant.
