Maybe it's one of those things I'll regret not buying, like the laptop bag, but I just can't bring myself to shell out $25 for a water bottle.

Oh, and the "Built to Last" motto. What the fuck is that?

Those water bottles were 30 fucking dollars at the two Seattle shows.

might as well just buy a $10 metal thermos, print out that image on some sticker paper, and make one yourself.

guys.

SIGG bottles expensive even without PJ's logo on it.

a regular 1.0L bottle like the PJ one is $25 normally:

so they're actually a pretty good deal honestly.

and Built To Last is an album by the Grateful Dead and kinda become the motto of the band.

p.s. that logo def infringes upon Independent Trucks logo pretty hardcore:

Wow, Pearl Jam really has become even more corporate. Ripping logos off now. Very lazy. They could give someone creative a job with their money to make something unique.

I don't think paying homage to something is the same thing as ripping it off.

I got a hoodie with this logo from the 02 show. It's nice.. quite funny they've ripped off the Trucks logo.. doesn't bother me.

Well yeah.. It's not like a Truck company invented the cross image is it.. I guessed it was something like that. A badge of honour type thing.

yes... the Indepdendent logo was just based on the Iron Cross obviously, PJ still ripped off their own logo design almost completely. maybe they got permission to modify it slightly idk, just worth pointing out.

I don't like how the logo on the bottle is different from the one on the t-shirt.

Hey, this logo is O fucking K.. I'm surprised everyone's being negative about it.

Hopefully none of you will punch me in the face if we meet and I'm wearing the hoodie.

The tagline is just so cheesy and self absorbed.
