1990s Sublime LBC Tee
This tee pays homage to Sublime’s gritty West Coast legacy—an underground-to-mainstream band whose blend of punk, reggae, ska, and hip-hop was uniquely Long Beach. Printed in the late ‘90s after the untimely death of frontman Bradley Nowell, this fan-worn piece echoes the impact of 40oz. to Freedom and Sublime (1996)—two records that immortalized their sound and spirit.
The graphic centers on a sharp “Sublime” typeface overlaid with “LBC,” rendered in bold collegiate-style lettering. The design pulls no punches—it’s simple, loud, and iconic. This is the kind of shirt that felt right at home in a backyard party, the back of a ‘90s Civic, or a sun-faded skate deck. It's not trying to be edgy—it is the edge, and it belongs to the fans who stuck around after the mainstream moved on.
The cotton has been naturally broken in through wear and wash, with a light drape and softened body. While many Sublime shirts were reissued over the years, this one speaks with the raw, posthumous reverence of an era that never fully healed from Nowell’s passing.
Tagged Large. Measures 22x27
Flaws - Small oil based stain on front
For Sublime fans, West Coast heads, or collectors of 1990s music culture, this tee is as real as it gets. Not a merch table novelty—this is the kind of shirt you found in a thrift bin in 2003 and wore until the threads gave out. And somehow, this one never did.
