A brief word from the bootleggers

We didn't write a single one of these.

We just verified them, printed them clean, and refused to let them stay buried in a 2013 timeline. You're welcome.

The part where we sell you something

Obviously we made
these into shirts.

Every line above, printed clean and huge, verified at the source. Unofficial, fan-made, printed to order and shipped worldwide since 2018.
