Welcome to the first Featured Collectible of the newly redesigned and revamped Styper.com!  We hope you like what you see, and come back often!
 
If you're a Stryper fan with internet access, you have no doubt heard about the upcoming October 9th movie Whip It.  It's the directorial debut by actress Drew Barrymore, and features a Stryper shirt in many scenes throughout the movie!
 
While Stryper fans will immediately recognize the logo and the image on the shirt, what they might not know is that the shirt is actually a concert bootleg.

Concert bootlegs were shirts that were mass produced by someone looking to make a fast buck, and sold outside the venue where the band is playing.  They are normally inferior to the official shirts, both in the quality of the shirt and the graphics.

There is an official shirt similar to the one in the movie, but there are several differences:

  • The bootleg image of the band is more 'cartoonish' than that of the official shirt.
  • The Stryper logo on the official shirt is the triangle logo, and is under the band as opposed to over them.

  • The back of the bootleg shirt incorrectly displays SOLDIERS UNDER COMMAND, while the picture on the front is from THWTD.

Even with the shirt being a boot, it's still GREAT to see the guys getting some big time exposure!  I for one will be going to see the movie, proudly wearing one of my Stryper shirts.  Who's with me?!?
