Brand: Jinxed Clothing

So first an apology for the continued shitty photography. My camera is new, I'm admittedly not so good at it and all these black Ts with shiny material aren't helping. So this brand is Jinxed Clothing, another Philly original. They're a little more pointed (and less weird) then Ghosticorn but they're a welcome addition to our designer repertoire. Philly's Rudest is a little behind on this brand, check out the other reviews.


We KILL FOR GOD! Bad ass! Whatever you think of their subject matter, what everyone can agree on is the quality of the materials. Very nice thick shirts and the designs are very solidly adhered vinyl. I've washed this shirt dozens and dozens of times and it's never faded, shrunk or cracked. This one is my favorite, by far. The art itself is hilarious; I'm in love with the lines branching off the figure as if it was an instructional manual. The subject is drenched in satire and irony, definitely not a serious political statement. Overall, (like the perfect man) it's attractive, funny and fucking hardcore!


The art style on this one is somewhere between Medieval religious icons and 1930s Soviet propaganda. The skeleton to the right gets some props for being worthy of carrying the prestigious Standard of the Mexican Wrestler. Although the fellow of the left definitely has a dashing cape/scarf. 

If you don't know, this is a hilarious play on the famous Love sculpture. Hate is probably more appropriate anyway. This bold design is immediately identifiable to anyone from the City, I'm frequently stopped and asked where I got it from. 


I'm not actually totally sure that this is a Jinxed piece. I got it from the Jinxed store, but they carry brands other then their own. I suspect it's not Jinxed, as the T-shirt itself is a Hanes and Jinxed usually uses Gildan. But either way, it gets an honorable mention for being bad ass.

Where to get: 

Their shop is at 620 South 4th St., right down the block from Jim's Steaks. Available online at Upset the System. Usually 24$ for a T, but they often have a 2 for 4o$ deal.
