I have this. It's great. But I'm sure bruce&e street did one exactly like it.

So now they're plagiarising too??!

I shouldn't poke fun. I'm who this stuff is aimed at. (Nowhere near as crazy as some of the collectors I know. But I did have a thing for this logo. It's great)

Well this one is pretty great but dents really easily. Which is odd cos SIGG usually make solid stuff.

For a guy who once took issue with people chanting his name at concerts, he sure doesn't seem to mind people walking around with his initials emblazoned on all thier shit.

I wonder how he reacts when he sees a fan at a show wearing thier EV tshirt with thier EV cap and EV socks, drinking out of thier EV cup, lighting a cigarette with thier EV lighter.

:gomez: If they'd just release the album I could waste my time bitching about that instead of cups.

I regret not getting one of those lighters. They were up on the website for ages too.

Easily got for cost price if you go to lost dogs and stick up a post.
I'd give you one of these but both are special to me.
If you need help getting one let me know.

I'm sure he smiles and sees dollar signs in his eyes.

Honestly, I think all this stuff has lowered my opinion of Pearl Jam fans more than that of the band. If it's all merch, shirts, and new payments for old shows, now, then it's only because people are buying.

Yeah, I agree. If they put this stuff up for sale on their site and no one bought any of it, they wouldn't make it. But pretty much everything sells instantly. Also, I'm not sure if it's still this way, but like 35% of the posts on the Pit at some point were about more merchandise they wish the band would make.

"Guys, I was at Target buying a toaster and I was like 'HOW SICK WOULD IT BE IF I COULD BUY A PEARL JAM TOASTER?' Do you think 10C will make one if I start a petition?"

I figured I'd made it up, but I thought "eh, it's Pearl Jam fans, maybe I didn't." So I ran a search, and this is the closest I came up with. It's not as glorious as I'd have hoped for...

"It would also be nice if the 10 club gave some type of promotion free with the purchase of the deluxe version like what they do at Best Buy or Target when big releases comes out. I dont know... a Pearl Jam toaster would come in handy and end up being a nice free gift!"

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was trawling to get one of yours. Good idea about posting in lost dogs though, cheers.

Google travel coffee mug ... there are plenty of mugs over $20. I'm not saying I'd pay that, but how far is it from "I need a new OXO coffee mug w/ rubber grips" to "I need a new coffee mug, maybe I'll get one w/ my favorite rock band's logo"?

I've yet to buy any of this merchandise, but with the exception of the dog collars, which still blow my mind, this stuff is hardly out of the realm of the super fan with disposable income.

But when Ed's being a capitalistic whore (which is fine), is it supposed to pass as irony that his art is a rip-off of iconic logo? I ask that as a serious question. I'm not baffled by his selling crap but by the choice of artwork.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.
