Long time lurker but I have finally decided to register and post. I consider myself a bit of a Pearl Jam historian and collector and I have a serious question for my first post. Does anyone have any information on stone's sissy tshirt famous from SNL appearance and the Evenflow video? It seems to be an important part of Pearl Jam lore but no one i've talked to has much information for me.
What is SISSY anyway? My close friend and Pearl Jam mentor thinks it is some sort of athletic gear or apparel. Underneath "SISSY", the shirt seems to read "Choice of Champions". Where could I find one of these t-shirts to add to my collection?

Yes I agree this is a very important topic. We should all know the origin of the "Sissy" shirt. It would be a good topic for someone to write a small dissertation on.

It's a joke t-shirt, a parody. There was a brand of athletic clothing called Stussy. One of their popular t-shirts said Stussy in the style font that's on Stone's t-shirt.

No, this is not a joke. I try to learn at least a couple of things about Pearl Jam daily so I decided to get the faithful fan's opinion on the infamous SISSY shirt. Generally I approach the topic Pearl Jam from an academic point-of-view but sometimes I like to get on these "forums" to read fan opinions and topics of discussion and things of that nature. I was reluctant to join a "forum" because I am old-fashioned and find that many times they are primarily arenas in which to trade childish gossip and one-up others with knowledge of the band. But I look forward to using this as a medium in which to discuss Pearl Jam intellectually

Careful my friend, it's not cool to be that much of a fan of pearl jam on this pearl jam forum.

if that is the case you should check out the website twofeetthick, which is an excellent source of this kind of trivia

if that is the case you should log off the internet and take a deep breath.
Does anyone rememeber the rumor that cryptically in the Stussy logo appeared "I am gay". I wish I could find a picture of this. Maybe it's all coming together!
