Can you buy 'Brixton' T shirts anymore?

[OpalFruit]

You can't get them any more because they were absolutely CRAP and made everyone wearing them look like a right bloody nob end.

well hence their appeal to my American tourist relatives!

Thank you all - and thanks for the Savage London link.

yuc
they are horrible

A number of years ago I did a design swiped off somone in Cork swiped of somone in the states.....

THE PEOPLES
REPUBLIC
OF BRIXTON​

could always do some more anyone got any screen printing screens I could borrow

Those Peoples Republic of Cork T-Shirts are very popular. Some really good other ones here: http://peoplesrepublicofcork.buy.ie/catalog/index.php - although you may need to be from Cork to understand some of them.

Very good site too.

I'm OK, I've actually got the Dictionary of Cork slang mentioned on their site Great site...can't wait for my daughter to see it...

I'm ok too.. I have my own personal Cork slang expert in the shape of my "Jaysus, Mary and St Joseph". .mother... I can understand her fine until she starts talking to her sister on the phone and speeds up to about a million miles an hour of gibberish...

It would be nice to have one with a little map of Brixton on the back showing things like the Albert, the Canterbury Arms, the Phoenix, Dogstar, the Lounge, your favorite greengrocers (the Ethiopian in my case)crackdealers on the corner...etc.

thus perpetuating the idea that Brixton is a place young people come to to get pissed of an evening. Nice.


At around the time Boulevard had them in the the window at a hideous price, I bought one in the market for a couple of quid. Never worn it though, for the reasons Enid outlined.

And your T shirt would have what on it?

Bet she doesn't go round calling people langers though

No... I'm "girl" when she remembers not to call me by my brother's name..

She does occasionally call me/others things in Irish that no one understands though...

Her language has been heavily influenced by working in the SE London probation service.. so nowadays she's more likely to call people "wankers" than "langers" tbh..

Something to make fashionable Brixton seem more attractive? Given that I don't think that's a great idea, I doubt I'm about to go into Tshirt design.
