It appears the maker behind a Blink-182 T-shirt has been out of the loop on the rock band’s current members. On Sunday, the band’s bassist and co-lead vocalist, Mark Hoppus took to Instagram to poke fun at the graphic T-shirt, which doesn’t appear to be officially licensed merchandise given its multiple mistakes.
Hoppus uploaded a pic of the tour T-shirt which excludes the band’s guitarist/vocalist, Tom DeLonge from the featured photo of the band, and instead includes former singer/guitarist, Matt Skiba, alongside Hoppus and drummer, Travis Barker.
