This is the legitimate one,

I have that exact green one
Also the official blue one off Bleep
Also another even cheaper looking one that I bought for the hell of it on ebay. Even more obvious ripoff. Green cloth, white hexagon, white "boards of canada" under it

Wow, the ones on Bleep even look cheaply made.
Do they even make the designs for the t shirts? I mean, they're not horrible artists or anything. Their album art proves that. You'd think their shirts would look less minimal and cheap.
It'd be cool if designers on Twoism made a thread to get a bunch of designs together, then vote on the best one to be submitted to get pressed officially.

Yeah it was designed by them. You're right about it being cheaply made, the design on mine got washed out quite a bit after the first wash which was kinda disappointing but whatever.

I got one on Ebay which is really cool, it's unofficial but so much better than the bleep ones. But I also got a Bleep one as well to feel less bad
I admit that the fake ones are better though, BoCs merch is slightly dissapointing in relation to all their other awesome designs/album art.

i got that green one off ebay bout 2/3 years ago, still wears well, the logo has faded a bit but that makes it even better i think!

Bought mine off Bleep. Just like the fit of it, American Apparel is high quality too.

I have 3 good quality BoC V-neck shirts that I wear one at least once a week.
White, Grey and Black.
Probably best clothing purchase I've ever made.

Got one grey one with an orange logo off ebay for 20 quid along with a aphex one a while back. It's actually good for a fake, the print is decent quality. Would love a hoodie version of the legit ones on Bleep

Frankly, as far as BoC shirts go, I'd rather just get some waterproof fabric-paint and make my own. It's more fun, and there's more of an opportunity for creativity and personalization/customization.
With regards to Aphex Twin shirts, though, it really doesn't get better than
this.

I've never seen that before, awesome!
I've never actually thought about buying a BoC or Aphex shirt... I did see a really cool Gescom shirt that someone made ages ago that I really wanted, but that was all.
EDIT- Just checked, I still have it in my favourites:

There's some half-decent looking ones I saw on Zazzle. They only show mock ups though and I wouldn't buy an unofficial one myself so I have no idea of the quality.
