Checking legitimacy of Syndrome (Kisaki) merch

A bit of an unusual request. When digging through Mercari I found an item for sale — that’s a hoodie from Syndrome from around 2000. It’s obviously pricey, so I started my due diligence on whether it’s real. And so far there’s nothing that would most likely confirm the authenticity of the item.

Circumstantial evidence is here, though — the design is literally poor as expected and I found confirmations online of the fact that the “united sports” brand was indeed in use by some vkei bands back then for their merch.

Other than that — nothing. So very curious about your opinions on whether it’s real or fake :slight_smile:

I would say “real”…it looks basic and cheap like a MV from Matina. Then I would add..“who cares”? I mean…what’s the market for t-shirts of Syndrome mark 1 (let’s not even get into mark 2…lol) ? It’s not like the band was anywhere near mainstream 25 years ago…
Real…Fake…it’s the nostalgia value it has for you (and perhaps 3 other people on earth…maybe I’m one of them, lol) that matters, doesn’t it?
