Some cool merchandise in honor of the 35th anniversary of “Twitch” popped up on the official Ministry site. Curious about the origins of the artwork on the “86 Classic Hoodie.”
Those designs are cool for sure. The stick figure design on the hoodie is based on the original t shirt from the Twitch tour, which was also used as a backdrop on the stage. No idea who designed it… Maybe Brian Shanley? It is also similar to the design on Lead Into Gold’s Age of Reason.
I’ve never bought anything form the official store. I believe i’ve read something about people not getting stuff they ordered. is this true, or am i confused?
Since most of their shit is handled by third parties now there were some problems with people getting the wrong shit. I haven’t heard of anyone getting straight up screwed, but . . . it’s Ministry, so of course everything is still a clusterfuck.
I had one of the Twitch “Stickmen” t-shirts, which I ordered from WaxTrax in 1989. It was an awesome design, but only available in white, and I never liked white t-shirts much. No idea what happened to it…somehow it got out of my hands. Wish I still had it.
Last year I had ordered the Ministry stacker logo tshirt/mask combo pre sale and when it shipped in April or May it had tracking that never updated, I dont know what happened with the order I think I read on here they had supply issues, I contacted them 4 times before I finally contacted Liz (Thank you for the help!) and she made sure it got out to me, I finally got it in August. I ordered the Alain 86 shirt on release and it shipped out quickly.
