Plus all the others are British bands so that maybe why you see more Misfits designs than those. I'd say here it's about equal.

I haven't seen any of those images in expensive retail shops but I've definitely seen the Misfits thing in the young American mall culture for the past 15 years or so. Until this thread, I had no idea that those kids don't even know the original Misfits albums(?!) - for shame - I thought kids knew better..
When I was, um, mall age I used to see the Zeppelin angel, Eddie, and Motorhead thing everywhere - but this was not so much a hipster thing as there were just lots of metalheads everywhere and they were into those bands. God, I saw the Zeppelin thing on probably hundreds of jackets, t-shirts and bumper stickers when I was a kid. In fact it was years before I knew Zeppelin and Motorhead were not American.
