OUT OF STEP?

Punk News -- Popular retailer Forever 21 has stocked an interesting looking shirt with what may appear to be imagery from Minor Threat.

The Tripwire got a statement from Dischord Records who replied:

This is an unauthorized shirt and it is still unclear whether the shirt was produced by Forever 21 or if it is a bootleg that they just happen to carry. Either way the members of Minor Threat are looking into it and Forever 21 will be asked to stop selling it.

The band and the label tend to deal with bootleg shirts on a case by case basis, acknowledging the vast difference between kids screening shirts for friends and professional printing studios screening shirts for profit. Obviously this absurd Forever 21 shirt falls under the ‘unacceptable’ category.”
