Bridge Nine “Crimson Ghost Straight Edge” T-Shirt

(Also referenced as the “Fiend” and “Night of the Living Dead” shirt)

First Printing: 1996

T-shirt / 1st Edition (1996)

Bridge Nine’s second T-shirt design, and another effort to Trojan horse the Bridge Nine name onto a T-shirt that people who knew nothing about the label would want to wear. The first printing featured a red-and-black skeletal “DRUG FREE” screen-printed back design and was available on 100% cotton white T-shirts and ringer T-shirts.
