The 'F**k R**ism' T-shirt

Because if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything...

Keep it simple

In the early 90s we produced this striking T-shirt. It was a simple idea, aiming to be provocative & clearly spell out our position. We started out printing them just for ourselves

Give it impact

When you're at war with racists, it's nice to have a suitable uniform & once people saw us wearing them out, everyone wanted one. They hit the spot & were a great way to highlight our musical activities, whilst clearly illustrating the side of the line we were on.

Don't be swayed

The cops & City Council at the time objected & tried to force us to stop distributing them. They were hung up on the first word & the 'offence' it might cause, totally missing the point. When you're right, you're right, so we totally ignored them & shifted bucketloads

Time for re-run..?

This is the only remining FR shirt we have left, 30+ years later. It's looking a bit worn out now, but is still just as iconic & 100% relevant. Given the state of society today, maybe it's almost time for a cheeky re-run..?
