Where is the merchandise?

Am I the only one who thinks it's remarkably hard to find great looking Bon Jovi t-shirts? When you search the web, there's not a whole lot to choose from. All you get are these huge baggy tents with the same old motifs. A lot of smaller band seem to have superior things on offer for fans that want to proclaim their loyalty. I want t-shirts that look good and fit. I hate wearing the tents. Burn the tents!

I got a nice HAND smirk T-Shirt at the Amsterdam gig but the smallest they had was a medium. I like my t-shirts tight dammit.

So that you can show the all the girls how big your muscles are?

Not exactly, I'm no Jon Bon Jovi but I do go to the gym and workout and I think fitted shirts look an awful lot better then big baggy yolks that look like potatoe sacks.

I find a lot of band T-shirts are too tight. I'm quite a big guy and require an XL, and they are ok before the first wash, but after washing, even on a cold wash they shrink to about a medium. It's annoying! I wish they would make T-shirts out of good quality fabric.

I think on Crush, OWN and Bounce tours they had good merchandise size-wise (talking as a small girl) because even the S-sized T-shirts [not that they would have had them!] usually look like a tent on me... So I've got loads of baggy BJ shirts from previous tours that I just can't wear, because of the sheer size. At least nowadays they get them in girl-sizes (read: fits) too!

Well, girls have an easier time of it getting fitted t-shirts. It seems they believe XL is the answer for all us guys. I have the bon jovi forver shirt and two other cool ones from the 80s. But it's like stepping into a garbage bag. Even the sizes that fit don't really fit. They're not made to follow the contours of a body at all (not that I have a mad desire to show of my contours, but shirts should fit to look nice).

all right then!
just kidding with you...

Oh I know! It's only recently though girls' fitted T's have been available as band merchandise.

I'm sure they had some non-tent type t-shirts for men on the last tour?

Aloha !

There's no merchandising so far except for the smirk shirts, though in Korea and Taiwan some limited editions of the album were delivered with a shirt which had the album cover of the single as the front print.

I was a bit disappointed of there being no cool shirts like the Casino shirts back in October. I can't be bothered buying a shirt without any dates or places on the back. The cool thing about tourmerchandising are the dates in my opinion.
