AD 29 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 AC DC is doing customized sports jersey merch for the Canadian tour, except Ottawa of course.

AD 29 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 AC$DCThe jerseys ($150) cost more than the insane ticket price ($130) (that I willingly paid). Also, appears Moncton didn't get a jersey but they don't have a pro sports team that I know of....(I think the jerseys are tied to the venue not the city... Wonder why CFL / RedBlacks didn't get in on this. Other CFL stadiums did) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edger 107 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 I've only seen them once. Over 12 years ago now (!) for the SARS benefit. AC/DC put on a GREAT performance and by all accounts that I recall, they stole the show right out from under The Stones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Wish 63 Report post Posted August 27, 2015 Pearl Jam does this too. The last time I saw PJ they were sold out well before the show even started and were selling (not just listed) on Ebay for $400 plus the following day (retail price of $145).

DevO 27 Report post Posted August 28, 2015 Cool. If there was a Hamilton show and Ticats jersey I'd consider it, then decide not to because I paid so much for the concert ticket. Passing on the Toronto show because its at Downsview Park which is not a great venue, and is far away, and the tickets are $140. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That makes me wonder if the sports teams are involved at all, or if AC/DC just co-opted the colour schemes. That said, they are so close to what the actual jerseys look like that, if they aren't official, they are walking a very fine line, legally speaking.

I noticed that neither the city nor team names appear on any of the merch, and the only two symbols I see are ones that can't be copyrighted (fleur de lis and maple leaf). So all they're using are the colours / colour scheme. I would think that if there was going to be an agreement in place, both parties would want to fully capitalize and use the actual team logo. It would be interesting to know for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
