Slipknot - Jumpsuit

In light of the news that dropped a few hours ago, let's go big with one more Slipknot entry today. This was about as close as most Maggots got to living out the fantasy in 1999, and it was a brilliant marketing tactic. This limited Blue Grape piece of merchandise was printed on a prison orange Red Kap boiler suit, and went through a couple small revisions. The earliest off the line were also the closest to the band members' actual suits, with no "Slipknot" logo in the chest barcode, and the rear barcode more enlarged and taking up more of the back. The "logoed" version appeared shortly after the initial release, and is more commonly found on the second hand market.
Fly high, #1. You were the first mask of the bunch I made, and you're alongside #2 again.

Epic shit! So sad he passed

Yeah, this one hits. The iconic lineup really is depleting. Thanks for the fire.

Slipknot isn't my era, and I never got into the band. But hats off to the guy. Great drummer, massive influence on a generation of drummers and will be sadly missed by those who were touched by his music. Great piece of merchandise too. So flames for that. R.I.P.

That's an eloquent acknowledgment, and thank you for the view.

This is bloody awesome man... never seen one quite like this before. It's especially cool that you have the first run of these before the changes were made to the second printing. And yes two tragic losses in a row today, can't believe this, Joey was a monster of a drummer and Slipknot just did not sound the same without him on the skins.

Yeah, the lineup that broke them huge really is dwindling. I knew he had health problems but not that they were this detrimental. Thanks for the fire, it's good to hear from you!
