Our families thing was finding hard rock cafe t shirts from places that very definitely do not have an actual hard rock cafe. I think my dad's "Hard Rock Cafe Bujumbura"(capital city of Burundi) is the winner.

Brilliant. I never thought of collecting comedy knock-off stuff like that!

If I had the time and effort, it would probably be quite a good business idea too, particularly if mixed in with geek culture. Hard Rock Cafe Alderaan; Hard Rock Cafe Pallet Town; Hard Rock Cafe D'ni; Hard Rock Cafe Winterfell etc etc.

I would 1000% wear a Hard Rock Alderaan shirt!

...now I'm gonna be editing shit in GIMP when I should be doing something constructive, lol.

After a bit of research, the font for the city is "The sans caps bold" in lowercase.

I work 3rd shift, so I can't play in GIMP until I get home

It's been like a month, and I got distracted by something shiny, or a squirrel, or maybe even a shiny squirrel but I did it! HR Alderaan

When I was a little kid I had one from Entenhausen (Duckburg)

Oh man, I've got one at home I got from Europe 20 some years ago. I hope to remember to get you a picture when I return

It says "Hard Rock Cafe Prague" in orange letters that don't match their font on a black sweater. 1000% unlicensed and I love it (I'm pretty sure that is the correct city)
