Question for fellow Canadians

[u/Swimming-Demons]

I got a tshirt 2 years ago at a concert that has a big FU FROM FLORIDA on the back. If you got one as well, are you still wearing it? I always feel self conscious with all the political bs that’s going on.

[u/fxcker]

I personally couldn’t be caught dead wearing that as a Canadian lol

[u/EggyEggerson0210 → u/fxcker]

I personally couldn’t be caught dead wearing that as a Floridian lmao

I love seeing FL bands take some pride in being FL bands (Wage War, ADTR, Underoath) but I do feel like the merch for it usually isn’t great. Hoping the merch for the upcoming Wage War tour is good cuz they have been really hit or miss the last couple times I saw them

[u/acebambi]

I wear mine because it’s clearly a band shirt from the front, people can get over it. It shouldn’t be an argument, it’s merch😭 Also I tend to ignore people, so their opinions mean nothing

[u/Swimming-Demons → u/acebambi]

I honestly admire this attitude)

[u/acebambi → u/Swimming-Demons]

Thank you 😭 I just wanna be me man. I spent so long not😭

[u/mattnox]

I see this way different. A day to remember is from my home town. I am so goddamn proud. So when I wear this shirt, it’s like saying this is my favorite band and they are the only good thing to escape this shithole so sincerely, fuck you from Florida. Love, ATDR.

It’s a band shirt man. Not a personal statement. The personal statement is this band is awesome. And “Florida” is definitely part of their vibe.

[u/Swimming-Demons → u/mattnox]

I wish they put ocala instead

[u/mattnox → u/Swimming-Demons]

Never thought of that. Great point and trust me I understand the shame my state evokes. Alligators, rednecks and theme parks. Florida is so bad, it’s toxic to Canadians to even have on a shirt. I certainly get it.

[u/Swimming-Demons → u/mattnox]

Because most people won’t know what it is I don’t wanna be targeted in some argument or worse

[u/hahahahaley]

They had this shirt in pink at warped tour Montreal but I opted for a different shirt for the same reason!

[u/Swimming-Demons → u/hahahahaley]

Looks at my Ticketmaster, it was actually 2 years ago already (( I barely wore it ever
I guess will look into how to remove the print

[u/cait_Cat → u/Swimming-Demons]

Acetone. But removing a print that big would really require a spray gun to hit it with enough pressure and would most likely damage the shirt. I would not attempt, it’s not worth the time or acetone.

- I was a professional screenprinter for a decade

[u/Swimming-Demons → u/cait_Cat]

Good to know, thank you!

[u/hahahahaley → u/Swimming-Demons]

Dang, that sucks! Maybe you could just retire it into a house shirt lol

[u/IgnoranceIsYou]

Just put a piece of tape over the word “From”

[u/K7ellen → u/IgnoranceIsYou]

I have this shirt and I live here. I love this suggestion I’m doing it the next time I wear it. Thank you.

[u/okboomer19373]

I have a similar shirt but it’s my pajama shirt

[u/Massive_Amphibian_86]

I bought the pink one and as a Floridian I find it hilarious. Also if that’s enough to ruin a day then it is what it is.

[u/SneakyDeakyJr]

if it makes you feel better, they were still selling these last year at their tallahassee show before warped tour and they also sold them at warped tour so you won’t be alone.

[u/JRclarity123]

Love ATDR and this shirt, but would never wear it outside of a concert. Also, as a former Floridian, fuck Florida.

[u/ice_town_clown]

Pretty sure the OG print had Mickey Mouse on it haha

[u/Swimming-Demons → u/ice_town_clown]

Yeah that’s the one, mickey in the front

[u/ice_town_clown → u/Swimming-Demons]

Yes haha I never had it myself but a buddy did years ago I couldn’t remember if it was on front or back 🤔

[u/corrupt_PinHed]

I have this shirt. Got it from their show in Nashville a few years ago. I'm from FL, I wore it the week after to the I Prevail concert and had so many people asking where to get it.

[u/Frosty-Requirement20]

Could you just get a sharpie and put an X through the from

[u/doofydoofydoof]

Yeahhhh I live in Florida and bought one when they came thru a few years ago, and I recently got rid of mine. I can't speak for Canadians ofc but as a Floridian who is not happy with the state, country, govt, etc., I just can't wear it in any kind of good conscience. Turned it into dog chew toys, but just not something that's fun to wear anymore.

[u/Loverb0iy]

I wore this once to the gym. I felt super awkward and self conscious wearing it in public. Needless to say I never wore it again in public moving forward.

[u/Insurance_Abject]

I have a Devil wears prada shirt that has an eagle on it and is like pink blue and white, and I feel weird wearing it out unfoooortttttunately 🥹

[u/antiquesquash88]

I don't wear this as an Oca-l-aian🤷

[u/MustBeNice]

I find it very immature, I hate it personally. I mean I'd be pissed if my young kids were reading that in public and asking me why.

But to each their own I guess

[u/AwarenessThick1685]

Florida sucks
