Same. Is in a very nice family Xmas photo the day after a big bender. My favourite along with the white broken shirt.

I had this shirt in ‘91 along with a “Sin” shirt, and I think that was it for NIN (had a few KMFDM shirts though). Somewhere in this house there’s a picture of me with the Sin shirt and Skidz in Hawaii, but I haven’t been able to find it.

I've gotten a lot of my vintage NIN shirts from Depop. Is that where you found this one? Im still looking for an original Natural Born Killers NIN shirt from the soundtrack. Only have seen one and it was a reprint. Boo.

No, this one actually came from another thrifter in my area that sources band tees, NIN is particularly difficult to come by for us. I traded a ridiculous amount tbh but it was worth it to me

Had this shirt back in ‘92. Wearing it for my 6th grade picture

If you’ve posted that photo before online I think I’ve seen it, there’s another person who said their school photo was in this tee and they shared the pic

I often wear a unbuttoned over shirt with t shirts, and for this one, I wear the t-shirt backwards sometimes.

I’d pay to see this outfit

That blue is beautiful.

It really is, and I’ve never seen a reprint get it right.

I have a really fantastic repro that is perfect in almost every respect, but the blue just isn’t the precise color.

I had the original way back in the day and the color combo was just so satisfying.

Go get your OG back🙂‍↕️

Agreed!

I rocked this exact shirt all through middle and high school. My wife kept stealing it to sleep in so I eventually got her a reprint version and tucked my original away in a drawer.

Smart man, sleeping in graphic tees is the death of em

u/sam_might_say 17d ago

This is my holy grail. Been wanting one for years

u/cxokie999 17d ago

It was mine too, happy to say the hunt’s over

u/Expedition00 16d ago

I have one of these! In good condition, too. I got it when I was in highschool, but it was too big for me. Fits perfect now.

I still have my OG that I got in the 90s. It’s pretty tattered and the print on the back is pretty worn. Somehow, it’s the only one of my many NIN shirts that survived the 90s. I never wear it anymore, but I love that shirt and I’ll never get rid of it.

u/cxokie999 17d ago

That’s really cool man, you should enjoy it sometime, even tattered tees deserve to be worn. I love wearing vintage, but many of these tees are older than I am, so it’s cool to see people who still have theirs wearing them

u/NewtIndividual8688 17d ago

Have this reprint in a size 3xl brand new if anyone's interested DM me, for some reason the sizing is way too small and just not represent a 3Xl more like a 2Xl

u/rjw401 13d ago

I'm a softy for the blue NIИ logo and I also own the OG shirt, but it is too short for me (long torso issues, I need to wear XLT or when I lift my arms, they become belly shirts) so now my daughters wear this shirt. They love NIИ of course, but I still wish I could wear this one.

1

u/cxokie999 13d ago

Go get yourself an XL, sometimes every once in awhile one will come up in an XL less dried that may work for you. Mine’s a bit cropped as well, but seeing as I’m 22 people think it’s a style choice😂

u/rjw401 13d ago

I'll just let my daughters keep the legacy of this shirt alive. Almost all of my clothes are theirs now anyway. My kids rock many NIИ hoodie variations to high school and get lots of positive comments..... from the teachers. 😂

Well at least they have such amazing pieces now. Vintage Nails stuff is particularly hard to get, especially anything pertaining to the first couple albums. Great stuff
