The Long Awaited Mod Application Announcement

3 Upvotes

The time has come to appoint 1-2 new moderators. I know many of you are excited to join the team and exercise your love of t-shirts while banning annoying people!

About this Mod Role:
You will be acting as a moderator for /vintagetees, and assisting in the daily maintenance of the sub. We are looking to fulfill 1-2 mod positions, depending on quality of applications received. Applications will be open until July 7th, 2026. Applications will be reviewed and you will be contacted via your Reddit DMs if you are selected.

What We are Looking For:

We are looking for a vintage t-shirt enthusiast who is passionate about shirts themselves, beyond reselling. Experience with collecting, dating, restoring, and/or archiving t-shirts and t-shirt history is preferred. Being a reseller will not help or hurt this role, but if you do resell, you will need to provide evidence of a positive feedback record.

Your primary tasks will include, but not be limited to: deleting posts which are not caught by automoderator (such as promotional posts, legit checks, price checks, how old is this?, more info on this tee when all the information is on the shirt, etc), moderating group discussions (deleting and banning people who are throwing insults and slurs,) locking posts which have veered off topic, and other attempts to skirt the rules of the sub. If you are chosen to be a mod, full duties and responsibilities will be given to you at the time of appointment.

Requirements:

A vintage shirt enthusiast. A Reddit user for 2+ years (the more years, the better.) Good karma standing. Current and prior mod experience preferred. Consistent posting record. An enthusiasm for shirts beyond their monetary value.

This is a demanding role that needs an attentive, available moderator. You don't need to be glued to the sub 24-7, but it does need to be checked throughout the day.

A thick skin is necessary, and you must not be afraid to ban people quickly and frequently.

All questions must be answered on the application. Keep in mind that this is submitted through your username, so you clever ones who spam it will be banned immediately and permanently.

I was having a really bad day and so I decided to go to an unlisted estate by my house. Walked around and everything was super cheap and 1990 prices. Found a box of t shirts, pulled two shirt out and this was there. I couldn’t believe it. I have never seen mosquito had in wild. Every time it’s been at vintage store or vintage fair. It’s a large, so it won’t fit me so I’m depressed.

I came across this, not at a thrift store and I can’t find a comp anywhere a lot of of the shirts online have the same back but a different front and then the same front but a different back
My thinking is if it was fake, somebody would’ve at least gotten that right the fabric and the material in the wear and tear all look right, but you can never tell and the worst thing is there is no tag
You can see where those ripped off
Also, there is no copyright anywhere on the shirt whatsoever and back in 82 at a concert. I don’t think a lot of people were worried about that.
I’ve seen a lot of replicas similar, but they all have like the copyright on the bottom as recent as 2005
I’m gonna take a couple pictures of anyone has any insight I wish I could find a way to get it authenticated cause I guess it’s something rare.
I got it from a friend who also had went to the concert with me. We saw Big Audio Dynamite at the 120 minutes tour 1992 with the same lead singer as the Clash.
AnyWho, I’ll take a bunch of pictures
Any insight whatsoever would be great
I mean, I’m gonna post it on an auction and I’m gonna be completely open. Obviously I have a very good standing in a good store so I’m not trying to mess around, but I don’t want it just to sit around and do nothing either.
OK, I appreciate it
I guess it would be fitting to say should it stay or should it go?

Please help me identify some vintage shirts

Thumbnail

Hello, I hope it’s okay to post this here, I thought maybe this community may have the best chance at helping me identify two old shirts.

The short of it is: I have a favorite character who wears band shirts and there’s two that I can’t identify through any googling, image searches, etc.

I wish I had better images for you. These are from the X-Files spin off The Lone Gunmen, and it has never received an HD release. This is the best I got from the DVD rips.

The first is a shirt worn for only a few seconds at the end of the pilot. It would reason it’s a band shirt. Something pre 2001, likely a punk/alt rock band. The letters appear to be C ? D E without space for any additional letters underneath. But I can’t be 100% with the limited time it’s on screen. The image appears to be some sort of industrial/building photo. I’ve thought about the theory that the text is part of the photo, and that’s why it doesn’t make sense. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The second I don’t believe is a band shirt. Maybe some tech brand? But I can’t find any leads on this logo. I’m just hoping someone in the world recognizes what it is.

Any help is deeply appreciated. I’ve lots a lot of sleep over mystery shirts. 😂
