The 14 best Black Flag parody shirts—and where to buy them
You’ve seen them at shows, you’ve seen them on Instagram, you’ve even seen them across the chests of your favorite punk celebrities. We’re talking about, of course, the classic Black Flag parody shirt, which at this point is as much of a cultural institution as the Black Flag logo itself. We’ve compiled some of our favorite rips we’ve seen throughout the years, and also tell you where you can pick them up—assuming they’re still available. A lot of these types of things are made in ultra-short runs and when they’re gone, they’re gone, so act fast!

If you read your rock history, you’ll learn that not only is Mike Love kind of the world’s biggest dick, but Brian Wilson was pretty punk as fuck, too.

This bit of artpop is also, tragically, unavailable.
