I don't have the oldest, but in my hey-day I considered myself to be 
somewhat of a T-shirt specialist, collecting at least one T, poster (from the 
venue wall with nikko'd dates, not "for sale" ones) and setlist per concert of 
anyone that I attended.
I have or have had:
Most loved: 10-1 barcode on US flag with sprint hands for stars on the 
front and list of places Aussies have fought in wars on the back - 
purchased at DD tour (88?) Brisbane.
Rarest: Diesel and Dust to Big Mountain tour T from USA tour 88 with 
Yothu Yindi and US tour list on back - present from Spy V Spy for web 
services rendered.
Most sadly given away (21st present to Krusty Fries): 97 Brazillian tour 
beautiful shirt with list of Brazil venues on back ... gorgeous design - 
present from Spy V Spy for web services rendered.
Most primal: Head Injuries / Breaking of the Dry singlet - sadly non-original 
(purshased at DotB Brisbane), but beautiful HI cover pic on front. Friend 
had THE original (and a 10-1 original) and shreded it.
Most destroyed: Scream in Blue T.  Unbelievable T - material seems to 
have been produced for the T, taking in the blue motif on the album, and 
then the T constructed out of it - ie: motif runs all over - sleeves etc. Worn 
to death, but still basically wearable.
Others: BSM cracked desert, Breathe fish, Surfs Up beach, recent 10-1 
barcode black, Sprint cap ... more? can't remember.
Other bands: at least a dozen Spies shirts, dozen crowded house / split 
enz, assorted U2, 6 or so H&C, 6 or so Sharp (no logic there!!!), another 
40 or so assorted oz & os bands ...

fun thread ...
cheers
