All 4 of the band you mentioned are on PA, and Pink Floyd is an awesome prog band. Just because a lot of people (such as I) wear Pink Floyd shirts doesn't mean that it should get any less credit. The reason why so many people wear Floyd shirts is because they are awesome and popular in the prog community.

As far as people who wear the shirts for he hell of it, well any degree of fan is still a fan.
At least they're putting dinner on David Gilmour's plateLOL

Dunno bout that one, but I grabbed an Adam and Eve shirt on one of TFK's sadly few and far between visits to the states.

Got a rack of old concert T's from back in the day (early-mid 80's for me) from various prog bands like Rush, Yes, ELP, Tull, PF, Genesis, etc...sadly I was a much thinner lad then, and even should I want to sport them these days I would look absurd.Ermm

Newer ones I rock on a regular basis are the TFK one mentioned above, Mastodon (Leviathan Tour), Tool (got a couple from various tours), and a Giant Squid one I mail ordered.

Funny enough no PT after all the times I've seen them, gonna have to fix that next tour.

I only have a few. I have a shirt with a Tool logo that a friend of mine made for me in his graphics class. But I also have a Meshuggah one with the really badass Nothing logo in blue on it.
 
And I also have this infamous one:

I think it's nothing bad to wear such a t-shirt. But to wear it and think about myself that I'm better than others, it's like these hop-hopers and their arrogant clothes, flat cap, loose trousers, music which makes me puke turned on very loud (from their hop-hop mobile phones) ... don't you think ?

I wear jeans all the time, pseudo jeans jacket and white T-shirt. All the time, just this one. I'm used to wear it and I don't want to change it. Well, I don't wear bands clothing, but still I wear comfortable clothes which don't make me feel bad.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

In my many years of buying and wearing progressive artist t-shirts if I've learned one thing, buy as large as possible. LOL
Even if you don't grow larger they will all shrink, progressively of course.

Quoted for truth.
 
 
I've never been a jeans and T-shirt person, prefering to be a little more individual in how I look, but I have a few band T-shirts, most purchased at gigs were the cash goes direct to the band.
What?

I have T-shirts of Gong, Here and Now, Hawkwind (several), VdGG, Peter Hammill and probably some other artists which just don't come to my mind right now too. I like the  "Warrior on the Edge of Time" t-shirt a lot because anatomy fills in the right parts for the landscape on that one. :)
I should mention that I have this on my t-shirt:

Prob'ly for the same reason I am, my friendLOL
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

It seems to be the case with sports t-shirts as well. If another person is wearing a Cubs shirt or hat and they have no knowledge of baseball whatsoever I really couldn't care less- it is not my place to judge. I have shirts from the bands I like; if they happen to be Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Beatles shirts, I don't really mind at all because I love these groups. I never see anybody wearing Beck, Jethro Tull, Return to Forever, Umphrey's McGee and other shirts I have; that doesn't bother either.

 
And yeah go right ahead and make your own shirts. I tried a few but wasn't very pleased with the results

I always get a kick when I go up to my high-school classmates with Floyd T-shirts on and say "So, you like Pink Floyd too?" and they respond "Yeah, he's cool." Wacko I have a Floyd shirt, two Beatles shirts, and a Yes shirt. Really ought to get more.
