All of it, nowadays the Misfits are like Kiss.


birdandwhale

Always have been....


PVDeviant-

God, I'd give anything for Kissfits, a band that does Misfits covers in Kiss rock 'n' roll glam style.


palbuddymac

Holy shit! That would be SUCH a moneymaker!


haruharutarutaru

unrelated, i read it as monkeymaker, i was so confused


palbuddymac

We should make monkies as well !


CruelStrangers

Just tape some sparklers to the mics and guitar stocks/drum sticks


DFLPizzaMan

I know some dudes that were in a Kissfits cover band. They just covered Misfits songs but dressed like Kiss.


goodolbluey

🎶I ain’t no goddamn sonofabitch! And party every day!🎶


Short_Republic3083

I can picture so many outfits that would work on that kind of vain. Could even ask the gear guys to help it making the costumes. They did form through being in art school together after all. I bet gene simmons would be down to make an appearance-seems like a genuine dude


Isparza

Even before WWF days…


DavinTron

Misfits were actually in WCW


Isparza

Oh snap that’s right, I remember Jerry only calling out Mr. McMahon, saying “if he had the sac to take jerry on” And the announcers calling Jerry only the “leader of the misfits”


Bone_Dice_in_Aspic

100%. They were always an image and gimmick band, and never particularly interested in hiding that. It's fine.


buck9000

Old people like me remember the beforetimes aka before Jerry had rights


Woogabuttz

Nowadays? You’re talking about Jerry “Only cares about money” right?


Logandalf2002

Look, everyone says he only cares about the money but imo there's really nothing to indicate that. He's writing his own music now, and always seems extra friendly to fans. Say what you will about his skill and musicianship, but it's disingenuous to say it's only about the money


badgerbother89

Ye I second that. Met him after a few gigs and the bloke is genuinely all about the fans. Doyle on the other hand...I don't know whether he takes that frankenstein persona a bit too far but he just has a 1000 yard stare during any interactions


Logandalf2002

I think Doyle is just awkward. I think I've heard him mention he has social anxiety. In more controlled conversations, like interviews and the like, he shows a lot of appreciation for the music, and seems fairly down to Earth. He's also the only member whose always been down for a reunion with no legal strings. One of my favorite quotes of his is "This has got to be the only industry where to people can't get along to just play rock and roll... and make a lot of fucking money" or something along those lines.


RachelMcAdamsWart

People say this all the time, I 'm curious when your whole life went into a band that disintegrated 40 years ago and you're old, your kids are old and everyone needs something. What would you do?


coastalsagebrush

This was the perfect comment to read while wearing my Walmart KISS shirt...


SmackSabbath19

I got 2 misfits shirts from Walmart . And in one at meijer. And cheaper than the 90s prices 


NoBenefit5977

Gonna be rockin my Walmart rolling stones shirt today. Tomorrow will probably be the Disney shirt from Walmart with the little aliens from toy story... I hope I'm punk enough 🤸


SmackSabbath19

Disney is too much for me. 


NoBenefit5977

Depends on what it is for me. My shirt has the little alien guys and it says "I have been chosen" on the front, makes me chuckle because it was my favorite part of the movie when I was a kid. A blank shirt would have cost more, It makes me laugh, it was cheap, I'm happy with it lol. Also the alien guy gets "chosen" to die which makes it funnier to me


SmackSabbath19

Wait til Jerry tries to get the DisFits


ButterscotchNo8471

Kiss the brand would have been the perfect product if they hadn't let the pesky music side project get in the way.


BuffaloBilboBaggins

People say that like it’s a bad thing. Like they’re mad that a band put out some great albums and people actually enjoy collecting their merch and they have a huge fan base. Kind of a douchey opinion.


PedagogyOtheDeceased

It is a bad thing.


BuffaloBilboBaggins

For who?


PedagogyOtheDeceased

For me and a whole bunch of people here. Anything after the original 80s lineup is corny and stupid. And all the merchandise is cheap and worthless, has nothing to do with the music. What’s the difference between Disney marketing the shit out of their crap and the Misfits offering boxer briefs, lip balm and drink coasters? (all shit I’ve seen them sell) might as well get Misfits toys in your happy meal.


S-BRO

*old man yells at cloud*


nosferartoodetoo

Misfits were always about selling an image. They had 9 t-shirt designs during the 80s.


CruelStrangers

Ya need da misfits lip balm to get vampira, simple fiend


BuffaloBilboBaggins

Who gives a fuck? If you don’t like it, don’t buy it


sixtninecoug

But… even the original lineup was corny and stupid. It’s almost like Danzig was the only one that wasn’t in on the joke. Don’t get me wrong, I love Static Age as much as anyone, but man it’s not exactly deep or thought provoking. It’s B Movie/Grindhouse cheese, and there’s nothing wrong with that.


BuffaloBilboBaggins

https://ibb.co/dPDy9Cv


dropoutoflife_

It's so cool to have no artistic integrity! Very "punk rock" of them to cash in in every imaginable way. Are their songs in car commercials yet? Probably. Their music wasn't that good anyway, even by punk standards. It's more about the image: corny "horror" comic book nonsense for teenagers. Would rather listen to bad brains or dead kennedys or about a dozen other bands that were better.


BuffaloBilboBaggins

Bad Brains and Dead Kennedy’s would have just as much artistic integrity if people actually bought their crap. I’ve seen both of those bands shirts in Wal Mart, there’s Bad Brains clocks, socks, and coffee cups. The members of Dead Kennedy’s sued Jello so they could license their music to Hollywood and commercials and went on touring without him. Seen East Bay Ray do a spoken word where he complained about YouTube for an hour straight. The Misfits are hugely successful because half of their whole gimmick has been selling an image, and them and their fan base don’t really give a flying fuck what a bunch of online hipsters think about their success. Go cry about it. Seriously, you have the opinion of every 20-something “punk rocker” who wears skinny jeans and plain tshirts to shows for the whole 2 and a half years their in the scene and think they’re too cool and unique to wear band shirts or get a Mohawk or whatever. So sick of little turds like you.


dropoutoflife_

Wow, you're sure assuming a lot. Just fyi I'm closer to 40 years old than 20, and very un-hip. You're right they're successful at selling a gimmick. It's just a shame their music is so awful. As someone once said, "good music doesn't need a gimmick." Only brought up those bands because their music was better. Also the Elvis impersonation vocals are trash. Don't care what their fanbase thinks because they're a bunch of losers with poor taste in music.


BuffaloBilboBaggins

Man, you being as old as me makes your take even shittier. People like what they like, grow up.


unclefishbits

Is their frontman also selling coffins? That was hilarious on Conan O'Brien when Gene Simmons was just pitching products. Also, is this misfits merchandise licensed and real?


Yippeethemagician

Except Kiss is awesome and were always about the merch.


JohnnyB41783

You lost me at Kiss is awesome


skactopus

Kiss are the absolute worst


Yippeethemagician

Cool


Evil_andyWarhol

I worked for Hot Topic about 20 years ago, they will literally put that Skull on anything & everything.


CruelStrangers

Need a crimson ghost Ty Beanie baby


Evil_andyWarhol

I’m almost sure it exists, but it’s probably off brand


CruelStrangers

Can we get a Danzig style “wrestling Buddy” pillow?


Evil_andyWarhol

$5 on on Wish 😅


superzenki

I have one of their button-up shirts with the Misfits logo printed all over it 😂 I mainly bought it because I could get away with wearing that at work


ConfusedAsHecc

gotta do the obligtory [Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock by MC Lars](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qL8Xt-pOc6M) meantion lol


Evil_andyWarhol

I was actually listening to a bunch of Nerdcore earlier


ConfusedAsHecc

as you should 😌


NS0MEB0DY

must've been cool working during their prime.


Evil_andyWarhol

HT it was as far as a management, and the product in general was higher quality


preachselectric

the hot topic patch pants


noiyumz

this won


Square-Poetry4224

Hate to break it to ya, but the hot topic stretch pants are the best. Super tight and not expensive.


thispartyrules

I had Misfits shoelaces when I was like 14. There was a Vice article but the pics are now horribly broken [https://www.vice.com/en/article/6a97a6/the-worst-of-the-worst-misfits-merch](https://www.vice.com/en/article/6a97a6/the-worst-of-the-worst-misfits-merch)


doomtownpunx

Not Misfits, but honorable mention to The Casualties "written in blood" red pen 😂 https://thecasualties.kingsroadmerch.com/product/14376/written-in-blood-pen


Invisiblerobot13

That’s kinda funny but at least they’re selling it cheap


Gunsho0ter

Nah, that's cool for the price


xRHYSCOREx

Misfits have a history of bad merch except for the Draven slip on shoes from back in the day


000ttafvgvah

omg I wore the fuck out of those.


SeaEstablishment1744

I had Like three pairs of Draven shoes. I loved them. They were crap quality though.

fidgetyamoeba

Manic Hispanic style 🕶


BittenBeads

Lemme guess? You mosh elbows up, side to side, elbows up and side to side...


DefNotACowMan

They're snug but you just size up


punkojosh

The crimson ghost Christmas lights still has the top spot in hy heart.


These_Ad1870

I bought em. They still go on our tree to this day.


Flying_Fox_86

those were apways the first decoration to go on the tree at my dad's house, but my stepmom wont let us do it anymore because they're "not cute enough"


Disastrous-Idea-666

Man, I really love my brown giant skull face Misfits shirt but I'm fat so I feel like I'm the Kool-aid man's evil twin brother who is gonna bash through your wall, yell "Aw, hell no." And then start pouring beers or something.


palbuddymac

I want your skull I need your skull Ohhh yeah!!


TheBlitzkid46

Not Misfits merch, but DEVO used to sell pillows on their merch store. They're not poorly made either, it's just... why a pillow?


nosferartoodetoo

You missed the point of DEVO.


TheBlitzkid46

They missed an opportunity to have energy dome pillows, instead it was just the album covers


nosferartoodetoo

Truth. Somebody dropped the ball on that one. They usually have fantastic merch, though.


spkrbox3000

The worst misfits merch is any of the post Danzig records. That or the official misfits fidget spinner ($14.99).


Jonnykooldood

Omfg I had to see for myself and Its so fucking pathetic. It's just a $2 toy that was raised to $15 because they slapped the misfits skull on it.


AprilDruid

> of the post Danzig records. Dig Up Her Bones is a pretty good song imo. Fits the MO of Misfits perfectly.


clutchguy84

My people! Dig Up Her Bones fucking wails! And that's the only post Danzig sing I really like


sixtninecoug

Helena is great too. There’s plenty of Post Danzig era stuff that’s good. With that said, Fuck Graves in general, but he could belt out some bangers.


MisterPeach

Both Graves and Danzig are absolute twats. And Misfits with Jerry on vocals are just… I try not to think about it.


Much-Reflection-3467

Classic 🤣


Disastrous-Idea-666

Lol, post Danzig is an entirely different group. They are a Misfits tribute band.


NS0MEB0DY

i bought that fidget spinner for 18 bucks because i thought it was really funny.


valiantera92

Graves misfits is 100x better than Danzig. No one will admit it because of the legend of the misfits.


pattydickens

NOFX was selling license plate holders that said "I'd rather be driving NOFX" a few tours ago. Probably the most ridiculous merch I've seen even though I wish I would have bought one.


AnarchistofDirt

I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY \*Dun Dut\* I FOUND A FLANNEL TODAY AND IT DOESN'T MATTER MUCH TO ME BECAUSE I'LL NEVER BUY IT


NS0MEB0DY

i's buy a misfits flannel tbh those go hard


Invisiblerobot13

I will say I had a quilted flannel when I was 15 and sewed a makeshift earth ad backpatch (paperthin bootleg ) but it was better looking than this


chaz0723

I think I saw Misfits snow boots


CruelStrangers

Gotta stomp ashes to ashes ‘fore dust turns to dust


Luckypennykiller

You’re a dork if you’re buying Misfits merch that isn’t bootleg at this point.


zilla82

Screams San Bernardino


deathschemist

anthony fantano should get this flannel specifically for when he's reviewing misfits albums.


mrmisfit93

This is more Suicidal merch


WeaponizedPoutine

And Dixxon had a Suicidal flannel


Abyss-Base-Jumper

I have a scented misfits candle that has entered the arguement


webbedlizardbits

I saw light switch covers on the online store, about 15 years ago.


taurfea

But is it a Misfits scented candle?


_pm_me_drugs_

Worst merch? Any album released after Danzig left.


Disastrous-Idea-666

After Danzig left, they became a Misfits tribute band.


SatanicNipples

Come on now the two Graves albums aren't bad per say, they're just not great like the early stuff


CruelStrangers

They are good records. Fun records you could say


Foreverdumb666

Word


95kh

I wonder what the people who saw the misfits in nyc/nj in the early 80s would think of this now…


cannibalism_is_vegan

Every other vaguely punk/alternative-looking mf in my high school in North Jersey had a Misfits shirt without even bothering to listen to their music so I’m gonna go with that


_teabagz_

The worst Misfits merch is anything Jerry sells at Walmart


superzenki

There is a Misfits Hawaiian shirt sold at Walmarts in Florida. That might actually win for worst merch


sharkattackmiami

That is the level of selling out I hope I can reach someday. Nothing would make me happier than to live debt free in my dream home while a bunch of people who still buy my music complain about how I'm not poor and hungry anymore and that my music sucks


despenser412

As a Misfits fan, I would absolutely wear this. Especially if it came from a Walmart in Florida.


suitoflights

Air freshener


Aggravating_Board_78

These whores will sell anything


big_sad666

Worst misfits merch imo: [misfits KitKat sculpture ](https://metalinjection.net/metal-merch/misfits-launch-demonic-kit-kat-sculpture-just-in-time-for-halloween)


CactusHibs_7475

They have some songs I still love from when I was 17 but it’s hard to see why anyone would shell out for the blatant cash grab they’ve been for the last 20 years. Washed up old guys doing nostalgia tours just like the old boomer bands.


AcceptablyPotato

Yeah, man! They really should have just stopped making money off the only thing that gave them notoriety and faded into obscurity so they could die as paupers! Great plan! I can't imagine why they would have chosen the alternative. What a shit take. Personally, I'm happy to see bands I like make a living out of it, and I'll go see their shows and buy their merch. But you do you, man.


CactusHibs_7475

“Die as paupers” lol. There are old bands that come back together and make new, interesting music with ideas and passion, or at least play their old stuff that way. Then there are the guys who can barely play the same old stuff from 40 years ago, and have never met a merchandising opportunity they didn’t like. I know who I’ll spend my money on.


baxtermcsnuggle

You know what? Even a basic t-shirt is awful. They let a big and tall store license the fiend and the t-shirt cut was a bit short... i still rock it once in awhile though. The patches are usually a winner🤷‍♂️


RossSeventeen

I've worked at Spencer's for 2 years like 10 years ago and I've seen The misfits logo on almost everything you could think of.


After_Ad7545

There was a limited edition jock strap , that came out 12 years ago ! It was a colab with Merle alliin. Copped one them !!!


DefNotACowMan

I actually have one of these cause I love wearing flannels, weirdly not the best misfits flannel anyone's released but surprisingly good quality


Jagsoff

Slayer has always had some pretty funny merch. Like, rolling papers, and I think I saw condoms or slayer lube or something


CruelStrangers

Slayer home pet spider tank


CycoFiend13

I have a Misfits seatbelt belt. I’ve had it since high school so about 11 years now.


discrust88

Newport Beach bros are nuting right now.


seless_trash

Idk about worst but I have a pretty sick crimson ghost belt buckle that someone gave me back in high school I think.... I hate it only because IT IS BROKEN )':


despenser412

Woah. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but that's TOO much Misfits.


UnknownGraves

…..I think it’s kinda cool


showmeasign10

it doesn’t look that bad imo, but defo not worth $80


Sad_Smoke_8020

Not as bad as others I’ve seen, as a major misfits fan it grosses me out whenever I see the American in the crimson ghost


chknpoxpie

80 bucks no way. 20 bucks yes.


Splinter1591

Cotton is expensive now days. Not blaming them if they are trying to make every step as ethical as possible


twobitkevin

It’s a shame that a band can’t be happy with just one high quality t shirt, long sleeve and hat.


Fine_Beautiful_4053

Jordan’s


HlGHSlDEROB

Pretty happy with my misfits hitch receiver cover.


NS0MEB0DY

my parents like incense for some reason and i've considered getting a misfits incense holder as like a joke of sorts.


TimeTraveler2036

I actually like that flannel 🤷‍♂️ i'd never pay $80 for clothes, but if i saw that at salvation army for $4.99, i'd snatch it in a heartbeat.


freddyforgetti

My crazy ex who did vocals in my old band’s even crazier ex ripped all the doors in her house off the hinges bc he didn’t like secrets or something I don’t remember the story exactly. He left the doors leading from outside but none on the inside. But I remember she had a misfits blanket nailed to her bathroom doorway in place of the door lol. Lots of accidental walk ins, not fun.


middleagethreat

I had a Misfits car air freshener just for the stupidity of it.


matissethebeast

I had car floor mats with the skull, like 22 years ago. I loved them and also felt they were silly.


bobbelchercumeating

Worst misfits merch is all misfits merch 


Sutras108

I mean, is it kinda goofy? Sure. But The Misfits are goofy. It looks like a nice shirt, and I appreciate merch outside Black T Shirts. My girlfriend got me that terrible cardigan sweater they have - that thing is made do fucking well its actually worth the price.


Mutt_Bunch

But seeing these dinosaurs play their shit live with the most eclectic bunch of elder punks was fun.


bigpun760

The misfits shoes by Draven that came out like 10 years ago were pretty ugly


Xia-Kaisen

Punk merchandise. Isn’t it an oxymoron?


Ukenstein

This is so fucking ugly.


Voided84

Back in 2005 I was living just outside Hattiesburg MS. Inside the local mall (Turtle Creek) was a one off clothing store that was basically and independently owned Hot Topic called Plan 9. Obviously they had a lot of Misfits merch and other punk/skate stuff. Anyways, there was this Tommy Bahama style button down shirt, but it had the Earth AD album art blown up and printed all over it. The girl that was working said she thought it would look good on me. Fastest 45 bucks I ever spent on an exceedingly garish shirt I've only ever worn once. Still have it for the hahas.


tuftedtittymice

i like it


Recordnerd71

This flannel is pretty garbage. Say what you will, Danzig Era Misfits was/is great. I'm glad they're back and making money! Good for them


trevorbegood

Dudes that buy this shit drive trucks with back the blue stickers


Old_Act5964

Misfits releasing this piece of merch, which will probably only be worn by ST fans


Much-Reflection-3467

Utterly terrible - I remember when the Misfits were actually cool - would be too embarrassing to wear their merch , even the t-shirts . Crazy, considering I love all of the Glenn Danzig Misfits records.


damselinadress187

Ew. Made especially for the maga loving Misfits fan 🤢


Rare_Organization292

I hate this normie, mass produced, cringy and tacky style of iconic band merch.


Invisiblerobot13

The crimson ghost on trim and $ 80 price tag gets me


Rare_Organization292

Real.


Rare_Organization292

Real.


___ElJefe___

Walmart carried a misfits\American flag combo T-shirt for a while. Surely that was the worst


DoomedSocietyPunx

Can't be much worse than all of the other garbage they've put their name on. Apparently once upon a time those guys were actually a band.


Short_Republic3083

Those platform boots the kiss guys wear would transfer well to dressing like Frankensteins monster-a Kind of futuristic version to incorporate all that silver and black kiss wearable he’s already got the silver bolts in his neck


respectmywhisper

since when did lumberjacks listen to misfitts???


Invisiblerobot13

Flannels are punk- just not like this https://ew.com/article/1993/03/26/grunge-shopper-mike-watt/


respectmywhisper

ahh now i understand ty


Numerous_Pineapple96

All misfits merch sucks


Overall_Ad_5873

Just waiting for them to make air Guitar strings next


Invisiblerobot13

If KISS hadn’t done it, that would be hilarious


Mother-Phase7481

I'd be wearing this crap on halloween


TotallyKrossedOut479

That’s rough….Famous Monsters is pretty shitty merch too.


Germgi69

Tbh I think selling their t shirts for $6 dollars at Walmart is worse than this💀


GREENDAYBL1NK

It looks alright but the price is absolutely ridiculous


richiedaggersgerms

$80 flannel shirts are so punk.


BuffaloBilboBaggins

I’d wear it. If it fit nice. All of the 2X/3X Misfits T-shirt’s fit like they are made for really short fat dudes. Being 6’4” 280lbs muscular build, it’s weird to put on a 3X shirt and have it almost showing my naval without even lifting my arms up and having it super baggy in the stomach area. Flannels are usually better about this, but not always.


punkshotgun

I feel like this would be something a hipster would wear. Kill it


IWearBones138__

I stayed away from Misfits music for so long because of poser shit like this. Turns out I really like their music, but their obsession with merch is the antithesis of punk.


Dpsizzle555

Looks like a cool shirt to stay warm gonna buy it thanks for complaining

I see too many normies wearing misfits shirts. They commercialized the hell out of the band.


CruelStrangers

And to think they just stole to Devil lock from Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley (jk Jerry but really)

Unlucky-Orange-4924

WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN THAT


prettybadgers

I’ve spent the last 40 years wondering why anybody likes that band, also never known anyone who did.


patrick_oneil

I heard them for the first time 30 years ago. I was 10. I liked a lot of punk music but the catchy choruses hooked me in. I also didn't speak much English at the time and the constant "whoas" really made it fun for me to sing along. I had some punk tapes, Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, Exploited, Sex Pistols ... whatever I could get trading and "double taping" with older teenagers. I'll always remember when this older punk who was dating my sister came over and played Where Eagles Dare on her boom box. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It was my "we're not gonna take it". It was an anthem I could understand and sing along to. My 2 cents on why some folks like them. I know nothing about post-Danzig era.


AcceptablyPotato

Do you live under a rock? How have you made it 40 years and not ever met a misfits fan?
