The wife and I have about fifty between us bought from KTF tours up to The Circle. Don't tend to wear them too much now but some have been worn to death.

Rock t-shirts should have skulls or guitars on them

I hink I had that one from the actual show at Donington although thinking back now not sure if it was the baseball jersey type,trouble was as I wore all day and had a programme down the front of it the neck stretched and never got its shape back so I had to turn it into a vest(very 80s). The best one I had was from the 7800 tour,white with the album cover on it. I had the ops shirt too,but it didnt have the ads on the back.
A good one from the 90s was the Crossroads one,mine went that perfect grey after a lot of washes,wish I still had it.

There are a couple of good ones. The Al Capone one is great. Got one from '88 with 'the Brotherhood' written in blood on the back. That's probably my favourite, just that it's transparent by now, hehe.

The Slippery era had a few cool ones. The skull with the top-hat smoking the cigar. Or the other skull with a towel/ American flag around his neck. And my favourite of all...



Coud never ever find it. There is a similar one from BJ/ 7800 era. White with the old Bon Jovi font, the one designed by Matt, written in Red and a very similar silhouette.



This one

Also, on the Jersey tour there were a couple of other good ones:
Bon Jovi forever one, the We're Back Kickin' Ass biker skull one...the special edition one from Milton Keynes 89 with Jon on a Harley with the Queen in the back knocking over Stonehenge.

Actually, here we go: the old school ones were class!

The one The Darkness blokes got on was Iirc the one on the merchandise stand when Jovi supported KISS in 84,but I bought a KISS shirt instead. Should have said the recent shirts post 2000 havent been great but as you said the 80s ones were very good. Beenlooking on Google images and realised I spent way too much money on shirts in the 80s/90s.

By the way, talking about t-shirts, do you know why Jovi never licensed to someone like Amplified? They make absolutely GORGEOUS rock t-shirts. Totally over-priced though. AC/DC, Guns N' Roese, the Stones, Iggy, Maiden, Motley Crue...just to name a couple. Fantastic t-shirts and some of the old-school designs would fit perfectly.

Also, I got a couple of AC/DC and Aerosmith T-shirts from Junk Food Clothing. Amazing shirts as well. Wish Jovi licenses to those companies too.

the one that Justin Hawkins is wearing is from the Slippery era though. It says Slippery When Wet under the woman. The other one must have been there in 1984. Quite similar...

Possibly the other way round and they dont want to associate themselves with Jovi as they are deemed by some as being uncool?

I don't think that. They're all up for making as much $$$ as possible and Jovi shirts would sell I suspect.
Plus, when I was looking for an Amplified Jovi shirt I stumbled upon this:

http://www.amplifiedclothing.com/tag/bon-jovi/

Amplified spotted none other than Belle Amie’s Sophia Wardman rocking a Diamante Rolling Stones USA T-Shirt during an epic performance with music legend Bon Jovi

That's on the official website. So they can't think they are so uncool.

Sorry wasnt reading or looking properly and thought it was a small version of the big pic.Tired and old eyes dont help. I remember seeing a similar one to the big pic with a three way road sign and a woman(or her legs, close by).

I had a 1988 (I think) Bon Jovi MK Bowl t-shirt (skid row support)
Has a skull on front with Bon Jovi above it
On the back it said: We Came, We Saw, We Kicked Your Ass
