March is the [unofficial] month of merch, and band merch can be a real hit or miss. Across all genres, artists release various mediums of clothing and/or accessories available for purchase as a means to make money, and for fans to have the ability to express their love for an artist through what they wear. The thing about band merch is that regardless of the quality of the design, people are still going to wear it, and props to them for their bravery.
A Day To Remember is one of my all-time favorite bands. I adore them, I really do, but their merch makes me cringe.
It can’t all be bad though… right?
A Day To Remember aren’t the only ones guilty of atrocious clothing though. Allow me to introduce you to a band called Panic! At The Disco.
But none of Panic! At The Disco’s merch is anywhere near as bad as All Time Low’s.
Pierce The Veil has some questionable merch as well.
At this point, you must be wondering if there is any hope for nice band merch anymore. Let me assure you, there is, and here is my evidence.
And our grand champion… Being As An Ocean.
Moral of the story: it’s always worth it to employ a genuinely good graphic designer.
