I'm talking the "official" FGTH, black print on white shirts, not the JC Penny knock-offs....God help me, I had two - -

LOL... can't say I did. Or how about the Wham-inspired shirts like "Stay Alive in 85".

My favorite shirt was a mail order job. I think it was '81... a U2 tour shirt (October Tour I think). Long sleeve black army shirt with green and white silkscreen

Note: t Shirts with "Frankie Says" were fakes
Also, some of these were obviously too long for t shirts but were featured on other FGTH memorabilia.

Amazingly enough, or maybe not, my 15 year old son asked me for one of these "RELAX" t-shirts a few days ago. Momentarily dumbstruck, I did what most fathers would do, I said "NO FREAKING WAY!!". Then upon second thought, I realized that since my son is

I still own such a shirt, though I think it's a cheap reproduced knock-off. Still, it helped me get rid of a rather crazy girl I was dating a couple of years ago...I had already broken it off with her, but fell for the trap when she was complaining about

There was a bootleg shirt I always wanted that said "Who give a **** what Frankie say!"

My favorite shirt was a black tshirt with a collage of Sex Pistols pix in white, and hte bands name in red. This was about 1984. About 4 years ago I got another o

i can remember being in 7th grade and we'd have class nights at the "skate ranch" and we'd do the usual dorky stuff kids did....but they'd have an hour where the skates would come off and the kids would dance...and there were older teens dancing.....one h

I always liked Frankie Goes To Hollywood's music, but I can honestly say I NEVER owned one of those Relax shirts. I always wore black t-shirts. Still do. [;)]

I had a "choose life" shirt back in the day. I remember them being pretty oversized though, a lot of us girls wore them like a sack-dress...<shudder>

That being said, lately, I've really had a hankerin' to revisit that look. (not the sack dress, just

I have two that I got on ebay they are authentic with the FGTH and symbol. They didn't come cheap, and they don't actually fit me but I just had to have them to preserve in my currently-growing-at-an-exponential-rate 80's archive. They are the standard

You HAD to have one. What a great band. Don't forget welcome to the pleasure dome& two tribes.
And I totally agree with Kimiii, I'm a parent of two girls and she is right. Dressing back then was an art form. Come on,how did we come up with some of those

by **skinnytie** » Sun Jun 27, 2004 5:24 am

I never had a Frankie shirt, but I did have one of their buttons (It said "Frankie Goes to Hollywood" around the side and top edge, with their emblem in the middle) that were given out as were waiting to get our albums signed by the band at the local Towe

No, not me. I did have the Coca Cola Rugby shirts circa 1985 though. [:D]
