"Somebody Loves Me" The Old Stand By
(http://www.mymorningjacket.com/Gallery/2003/bonna-05s.jpg)
Personally, for me....nothing really captures the feel of the whole MMJ experience like the "Tropical Palms" shirt. It's damn sexy and it seems to say........."Come with me to a secret magical paradise kind of place" .Plus it fits really well.
Did You Know?
"Black Beauty" can actually be spotted all the way back to the year 2000. I thought it was something that was brand new for the Z tour. It turns out I was wrong (apparantly it was just put on hiatus).
I'm gonna have to go with Black Beauty on this one! :D
Tropical Palms 8)
somebody loves me....

Mark me down as a Tropical Palms supporter. :)

Yeah, you know what's up. If Jim ever auctions that shirt off on ebay for charity or something I'm going to buy it and eat it.
LOL!

A. I'm going to count that as a vote for "Somebody Loves Me"
B. No you can't have one. It was created by GOD for only Jim to wear, that's why it never has to be washed and it doesn't get lost, stained, faded, or ripped.........Sorry about that. Also, some people might think that Jim has 18 diffrent versions for each of his three shirts, but this is not true, he only has ONE of each.....and no washing machine. :o
I saw this coming from a mile away.........No Love for "Black Beauty" The thing about "Black Beauty" though, is that there is really not much to say about it. It's just BLACK....................
and Beautiful. There in lies the beauty of "Black Beauty" and the statement it makes. It says absolutly NOTHING yet it says EVERYTHING.
if so please report back on it's hallucinogenic properties and any funny stories which may result!!!

What about this one Brian?
(http://www.epiphone.com/images/N_JimMorningJacket1.jpg)
I've seen it a couple other places too (for instance, when I saw him walking around Asheville).
It's pretty sweet...anyone have a clearer picture?
Also, my vote goes for the tropical t-shirt. Only because it was THE ONE that got wet during Steam Engine at Bonnaroo. Woo!
Ah Yes, "The Predator" I don't really know what's on that T-Shirt but for some reason it makes me think of The Predator thus the name "The Predator". I think that must be the shirt Jim wears when he's not actually playing a show. This would explain him wearing it around Asheville and to The Epiphone Factory. I'm not sure it's going to recieve many votes seeing how it has what I like to refer to as "a physically painful combination of colors" going on but I'll add it to the list. Thanks,
Brian
Tropical Palms. Close win over Somebody in Birmingham Loves Me.
QuoteThere in lies the beauty of "Black Beauty" and the statement it makes. It says absolutly NOTHING yet it says EVERYTHING.
True. story. I think Black Beauty is too cool for votes anyway. It does not, and can not, pander to our Game of Fashion.
My fav of all Jim's fashion statements has to be the Pocari-Sweat wristbands.
He has to wear those at the Astoria!
Tropical Palms - I first layed eyes on this beauty during the solo Steam Engine and I was in love.
How about the new Mt. Rushmore/fireworks gem from the recent solo tour? A nod to a better presidential era?

Also a nod to a complete miscalculation on what would be appealing to ones visual senses. I don't see this one breaking into the rotation anytime soon. I'm betting this was a one time deal. Someone probably gave it to him for his birthday or something. Hey, there is an idea mabey for Jim's birthday we could all send him our favorite T-Shirt.
I'll be sending this one............

That's the best point I've heard all day. "Black Beauty" scoffs at your votes. By not voteing for "Black Beauty" you are in fact actually voting FOR it. Good Point Deanna.

FUCK.....................YES. That's what I'm talking about. What do we call that bad boy?
I think it's just called Three Wolves In Tie Dye.
I just called the fashion police...
What I Really love about that shirt is that the wolves are not howling at the moon, GET THIS............................THEY ARE HOWLING AT EARTH, Just think about THAT for a minute man.
That's why I would like to call that shirt........."Space Wolves"

that shirt IS a license to be a man. ;)
i have a tie, but it's a conditional tie:
it is between the birmingham t shirt and the tropical palms, but ONLY (and this is the conditional part) if worn as a 2piece fashion extravaganza with a certain FANCY vest - for details, please see pics from charlottesville on january 23, 2004. a night to remember, obviously.

eh?
i'd say tropical palms gets my vote, too. i think that ones just so damn classic.
but actually, hey. what about the blazer/sweater combo?

What is a shirt without some nicely matching shorts? I hope he'll like this one.

I know I would......I would also like to call those shorts "Pinocchio Pumpkin Nose"
I dont know if Jim's San Francisco shirt has ever been worn on stage, but I really dig that one. //http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=offtopic;action=display;num=1141824688;start=15// You can see it in this thread. And much to my surprise I found one very similar at a thrift store about a month ago :(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/jeff79ro/HPIM0716.jpg)
But much to my disappointment I got the damn thing home and its to small. Its says L but fits more like a M. So if anyone digs this shirt and would like to formulate a small trade( really small shirt only cost $1) I will take offers.
Jeff
I have a shirt just like the tropical palms , bit it's a darker shade of blue, I think I got it at a Salvation Army. I'll have to get a photo wearing it and post.
we should do a "design a new t-shirt for jim" competition
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/me%20and%20my%20people/wrestlingtom.jpg)
didn't i already win?
honey, you won in grade four.
mother of pearl that still makes me weep.
How about screw the tee shirts and just wear a sports (suit) coat with nothin under it onstage 8)!
I happen to really like this look
(http://www.mymorningjacket.com/Gallery/buffalo-03s.jpg)
I like the color scheme of the tropical palms, but it reminds me of a shirt my dad used to wear when I was a kid. That kind of takes the coolness down a notch or two...or ten.
I think my vote would have to go to the Somebody loves me shirt.
the sombrero knocks that pic out of the park...
I'll have to go with the tropical palms. Jim looks like he's always on vacation wearing those shirts.

thats one cool ass shirt
Somebody Loves Me - the old one, I think. But all of them suits Jim very well. ;D

Thats my friend Krystal. We met Jim at the solo Camden show!
With the advent of the new tour... and seeing that he was sporting a suit in Knoxville... had to bring this thread back.
Well, now that they've moved frrom the club circuit to the theater circuit I guess he decided to class it up a bit. I'm still hopeing for Tropical Palms in Atlanta though. That suit was some flat out gangsta shit.

Nice! ;D 8) Do you have anymore pics of JJ in his suit? Is he starting to wear a tie now too? :D
I thought the guys looked great in the tuxedos they wore at Boston Symphony Hall :o
Jim's suit was awesome.
Almost as awesome as the suit the bear on stage was sporting.
Jim was rocking the Mt. Rushmore t-shirt at the ATL show!
I'm going to piss in Jim's water if he wears the Rushmore tshirt at our shows. Thats about as bad as wearing a tshirt of a swastika or a black man being lynched.

and why is that as bad?
The mountain to which that is carved on is the holy lands of the plains natives, particularly the Lakota. That monument is a terrible smack in the face to all people of native life and culture. It is a symbol of hatred and racism and anyone who thinks otherwise really should think twice before singing the national anthem or pledge of allegience. To think this is a nation based of liberty and justice really needs to think about the people they displaced and who were here first in perfect harmony.
I envision it somewhat like this
"hey jimbo lets kick these dirt-worshippin prairie niggers off their land, stick them in little plots of land, expect them conform to our beliefs and carve our leaders faces to look down on their culture and laugh at the misfortune we gave them!"
I would hope to think Jim is either too ignorant and misinformed of what this 'monument' really means, and is part of the commonplace belief that the native american population is just a thing of the past, a piece of history and an emblem on your favorite sports team, or something I surely hope not....a bigot American.
Fuck Mount Rusmore.

thanks for the education. i didn't know that. i'm sure Jim doesn't know that either. that isn't taught here in KY. so maybe pissing in his water may be a little drastic.
One more lesson for the day! I'm glad you now know though. I blame the government for not informing people.
That isnt taught anywhere actually, maybe more closer to those midwest states where native culture is more prominent, but im from D.C. basically and the most we learned was the silly Disney Pocahantas story and a brief mentioning of the trail of tears, but we are all taught this at a young enough age that it doesnt make an impact on us and we forget about it. How clever. And I never knew that native american wore paper grocery bags as clothes when they were little 'uns.
I'm just hoping Jim is in the same boat as you are in though, considering hes a KY fellow too.
I never knew that about Mt. Rushmore, I'm thinking it's not real common knowledge. Sadly every one I know who's seen Mt. Rushmore says it's underwhelming, what a shame.

I think its no use being angry about something that happened long ago in the past and obviously no one here today has any control of. I have no problem with the shirt and I'm not a racist. There I said it.
And the fact the US government is still oppressing the natives? Or rather, not doing anything to help them today. The statue is symbolic of the actions still happening at this very instant. I'm not attempting to call Jim a racist, but I find it offensive for him to wear such a shirt.
QuoteOne more lesson for the day! I'm glad you now know though. I blame the government for not informing people.
Is there anything you don't blame the government for? it's just a t shirt after all. (that's a rhectorical question, btw).
while i'm posting in this thread I might as well get it back on topic. I like somebody in birmingham loves me..
I'm not meaning the tshirt for your rhetoric (if i understand you correctly) I'm meaning the government and the education system of teaching the american people about the people who were first here. I feel it is inadequate to teach children about the natives at the k-5 level. Nothing is soaked. I think the most that we can remember from that is they ate food with the Pilgrims and shot bows and arrows. 'Wow, quite a civilization we had here in the states! I'm glad they arnt out there anymore out to pillage my log cabin and rape my wife and kids! '
Bonanza! :P

I'm going for the red suit or black beauty.
QuoteI'm going for the red suit or black beauty.
word up!
I'm disqualifying Rushmore because it's painful to my eyes anyway.
fo sho'! Jim looks very classy with that red suit too. It reminds me of how I might have envisioned them prior to knowing what they looked like.
I will say the Rushmore shirt is ugly, I like the Somebody Loves Me shirt
Has anyone mentioned the boo shirt? with the ghost holding the bag of candy and boo written above it's head? I think that's my new favorite
I think the Rushmore shirt is great. It's so random haha.
My favorite, however, is the "eat the worm" shirt. Especially with the sombrero.
I also like the suits. Very bad ass.
THE BOO SHIRT IS BY FAR THE BEST!
