Bridge Nine x Linas Garsys “Skull” T-Shirt
First Printing: 2002
1st Edition (2002)
The skull on this T-shirt was drawn by Linas Garsys, who worked closely with Bridge Nine in the early 2000s, illustrating logos and album covers for bands like COPS AND ROBBERS (2001), THE HOPE CONSPIRACY (2001), STRIKING DISTANCE (2002), DEATH THREAT / OVER MY DEAD BODY (2002), and most notably, AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, through their iconic angel (2001). This first edition featured mirrored skulls facing each other with BRIDGE NINE in the center, with one skull having a “B” carved into the forehead, and the other a “9.” The back featured a distressed Bridge Nine logo across the shoulders. This was printed on a black 100% cotton Anvil brand T-shirt.
2nd Edition (2013)
A little over a decade later, the Linas x B9 skull T-shirt was reprinted. This time, it featured one skull as a left-breast-pocket print and a much larger version printed across the entire back of the T-shirt. This was printed on a black 100% cotton Jerzees HiDensiti-T brand T-shirt.
3rd Edition (2023)
Twenty years after its debut, the Bridge Nine x Linas Garsys “Skull” design was printed for a third time. The pocket design from the 2nd edition returned, but as a two-color white-and-red print, and the back features a large Bridge Nine logo with a blood splatter (originally used on the back of a Champion T-shirt that Linas also designed). This was limited to 100 T-shirts and 50 zip-up hooded sweatshirts. Those were printed on a black 100% cotton Anvil Hammer T-shirt and an Independent brand sweatshirt, respectively.
