I don't think that t-shirt was a pizza skateboards thing. I think it was just a diy screen printer thing.
Pizza skateboards sucks, but I saw this shirt and pins at the Punk Rock Flea Market in Philadelphia in the winter of 2014. It was at one of the t-shirt screen printers stands and they had enamel pins. Pretty sure the shirt has nothing to do with Pizza skateboards and was mostly a fucking around with the Palace design because it was especially iconic among celebrities that year. I would never have purchased anything Pizza skateboards related and at that time I don't think I ever heard of Pizza skateboards. I bought a white shirt with red font and immediately fucked it up because I eat like a big baby.
I actually did a quick search and the DIY people making these appear to be daywaste and found that they still have the pins

Yo, good research, thanks for correcting. If anything, my mistake only highlights how successful Pizza's crappy marketing campaign of an art direction is; their shtick is literally to never produce any original graphic (and boy, what an inspired shtick), so much that their shit ends up blurring the lines and crossing over to pop culture with no effort needed; they just put the stuff out and the rest of the world does the job for them. Originally I was just looking for that deck in a Google search and not only did that specific shirt also show up (so I naively included it), but also dozens of other big name logo rip-off graphic legit Pizza shirts. It's probably the first skate brand to openly admit just riding the masses' wave as opposed to creating something original and nurturing the original skate culture to such an extent.
Point kind of still stands, if you're going to attack another brand, why not attack a brand that's actually shit and directly ripping off your product instead of a longtime local company ran by a fellow skate nerd? Scared to piss Thrasher off is my guess and if true that's pretty weak.
