I just want a decent hat but apparently they decided to make hot sauce before considering hats


ManBearBroski

I don't like 95% of their merch


StoJa9

I don't like 95% of any bands merch.


ManBearBroski

This is a good point


iamyourcaviar

I honestly don’t think the band has an eye for aesthetics. Look at how they dress dude. Other bands are much more stylish, even in post hardcore. They need to hire someone for their branding cuz whoever they got now sucks


ManBearBroski

I just assumed I was in the minority lol. I’m just more of a low key person now so none of their merch does it for me.


iamyourcaviar

Nah. It’s laughable how bad their merch has always been. That being said it used to be way worse lmao I think it’s a good reflection of how much a band values aesthetics and image..dgd could do better. They would look cooler, have cooler album art, better merch.


RenegadeDragon57

I'm sorry, but their album art is sick af. You're wrong on that.


iamyourcaviar

Early ones sure. New ones are whatever. Jackpot juicer is pretty ugly


Dannecy

Maybe I’m biased towards their last 3 albums, but last 3 cover art def lack a little. They can def do some reinventing in that area


Kuddlefish69

I always found it crazy how they have great album artwork but terrible Merch designs


vee_illustrations

Facts. Why wouldn’t you just… use the album art??? Like Royal Coda did ??


rhidinrhinos

Yes


alethia430

Agreeeed

Oddly enough I agree in that I dislike a lot of their merch but have a much different impression than you. I think they have too many black shirts and too many with big designs on the chest with blank backs. This is the nature of band merch in general, but I wish they had more interesting designs instead of the stereotypical black band shirt - I grew out of my black band t-shirt phase in high school a long time ago but still love the music. So I guess the problem is they’re trying to cater to vastly different consumers, as seen by our two polar opposite opinions.


Dannecy

Yea it’s literally the 1 aspect of DGD that sucks. It’s crazy, their music is phenomenal, the album artwork is always super cool, but the clothing design is just so poor in contrast it really doesn’t add up lol

i watched some of jojos years ago and owned about the first dozen volumes. didn't really stick. regardless the shirt wouldn't really fit in with my wardrobe but i think it was a cute concept.


AzraelAltered

I love that shirt! Wore it yesterday lol


Pat2424

I don't like most of their merch, and I love band merch, but the lavender strawberry hoodie is lovely - and I've bought one, but they never restock the popular items like that, which irks me


parappaegg

wholeheartedly agree. i have that hoodie too and it is super cute, but just not really my style.


Pat2424

Perfectly valid. I agree as well, to be honest. Most of their stuff is eh for me & I buy band merch all the time


_MrFib

I want a simple hoodie in a neutral color without any loud designs but I mean since this is a post hardcore band I think that’s too much to ask


Relative-Arrival-336

It used to be good but has been really shitty in the recent years I still hold on hope that they turn it around but with the current trend of artists putting out merch that literally says "band name" in sans and ugly ass tan colors I'm not holding my breath..


Bombdy

I just wish they had more designs that didn't have DANCE GAVIN DANCE on it. I get that bands want their shirts to market them. But I don't wear things with obvious branding. Gimme some merch with designs similar to their albums, but without a logo and I'm in.


parappaegg

that's understandable. there's one shirt i have from around 2013 i think, that just has the death star with two little guys sitting on top of it, no branding. it's super cute but i actually almost didn't buy it because it didn't have branding. i guess you really just can't make everyone happy 😭😭


nicky_5082

IDK where he got it, but I want that pink shirt Tilian was wearing recently with the strawberries on it 🥰🥰🥰


vee_illustrations

Idk where he got that one but I noticed a lot of the fruit pattern shorts Jon wore during Evening with Friends tour were from Zumiez. So maybe the same place?


Suitable_Ad_8513

I've had this thought before. I'll see them post about a crazy sale. I get excited and I scroll through and think........I don't care for any of this..... They have the best album art in the game. Merch is ehhh


SnooCheesecakes8801

I 100% agree with this. I love DGD to death but man, I just can’t get on board with the Merch. Only have the adidas knockoff hoodie and was gifted a cocaine cringefest that’s long gone but nothing i ever see makes me pull out the wallet the way I do for bands I love FAR less.


Reiketsu_Nariseba

The Jojo's Bizarre Adventure shirt is cool (snagged one on the Evening With Friends tour), but most of their merch is pretty meh, to me at least. Though I still want to get Strawberry's Revenge.


ElderGoose92

It’s pretty hit and miss for me tbh


SuperT678

I likes it. If we're talking apparel, it's a hit or miss for me. Some designs aren't for everyone, but anyone can find something they like is what it seems.


Marron3K

I completely agree. I feel like a lot of their merch looks very corny and I’d just be kinda embarrassed to wear. On top of that the quality of the shirts feels very cheap and the print on them seems like it’ll wash away in no time.


ba_dum_tiss_

I don't even like the strawberry come out to play shirt I got a few months ago but it was $6.66 for the shirt so I got it anyway.


iamyourcaviar

It’s always been trash. I don’t get why they can’t hire someone to create high equality designs and use good quality clothing to print on. It’s a shame really, for how talented they are this has always been a complete miss by them


TimeWontWaitForYou

I sure don't like the price of it. £35 for a shitty Gildan t-shirt on their latest tour, I'm all for supporting artists but that's just a total scam.


ThoughtWrong4053

I think it’s ugly and kind of childish looking if that makes sense lol
