Bridge Nine “It’s Ok Not To Drink” T-Shirt
First Printing: 1997
1st Edition (1997-1999)
Bridge Nine can’t claim that it was the first to print an “It’s Ok Not To Drink” T-shirt; that distinction belongs to George Haye, who made them in the 1980s under the brand name Positive Peer Pressure. By 1997, after PPP had long since disbanded and before the internet got going, learning about George and where he ended up was pretty much impossible. Wanting one of the T-shirts but unable to find one, Chris Wrenn started making his own. These were offered in two colorways: red shirts with athletic gold ink and royal blue shirts with white ink. Most had the original Bridge Nine logo on the left sleeve, modeled after PPP’s logo sleeve prints; a handful of the blue shirts were printed in athletic gold ink only on the front with no sleeve print.
