ok whats your fav t shirts, i love the popmart ones the blue one with the lemon & shopping cart & dates on the back. also the green with the 3 symbols & popmart 97 on the back. i just loved the popmart era the zoo ones were great to :wink:
 
Probably the Achtung Baby baseball jersey shirt that I recently found again...
 
Black and Blue tshirts are the only ones I buy.

For that reason, Vertigo has a lot of cool ones.

The lemon one from POPMART is still the best,
There is a blue one with the zooropa logo that is awesome...

but i really like the symbol ones...

you know.. the front just has three symbols on it

for Zoo Tv is was a Trabant, A Star, and a Babyface
for Popmarti is was a recordplayer, a shopping cart, and a (hmm... what was the third symbol. I can't recall)
for elevation there were two:
one had a suitcase, an elevator and an airplane flying around the world
the other had a suitcase, an apple, and a dove
for Vertigo it has a "V", a bomb, and a peace symbol
 
The 3rd Popmart symbol, I think, was the globe logo they used that tour. I think.

As for the two Elevation shirts, the 2nd one (featuring the apple, etc) was done for the shows post-9/11. The symbolism is obvious: the apple for NYC (Big Apple), the dove representing peace, and the suitcase/heart, which, of course, was the tour's symbol for the things you can't leave behind -- friends, love, etc.

I thought those were beautifully done.
 
the popmart shirts were definitely the coolest. but i prefer minimalist/abstract designs anyway. i mean how many different photos of the band can you slap on a tshirt? boring. but even the "band pictures" popmart shirt was cool, just 4 simple b/w photos of the guys on a black shirt. and the blue lemon and green symbols shirts were both awesome. i remember having difficulty settling on one shirt to get, before picking the green one.

i also like the fact that they've done a 3 symbols shirt on every tour since zootv.
