Original The Choke Paint Shirt

The Choke Paint Shirt is essentially a white T-shirt adorned with a black “choke” scribbled across the chest. Vicious’s original design was created using black finger paint, giving it a raw and haphazard appearance. However, over the years, numerous variations have emerged, with the “choke” rendered in paint, embroidery, or even studs.

The Choke Paint Shirt became a potent symbol of the punk rock movement’s rejection of mainstream society. The “choke” represented the frustration and suffocation felt by many young people at the time. By wearing this shirt, punks asserted their right to nonconformity and expressed their anger at the political and social status quo.
