In Flames. At one time, a heavy weight in the world of Metal. Now-a-days, nothing more than a standard issue American mallcore band from Sweden. There was a time when this band had great songs and albums under their belt, and a mascot that was definitely unique and worthy of the halls of Metal.
As time progressed, their music took a turn for the worst as they chose to write music for their new-found mallcore/emo/screamo/fake goth kids/insert name of counter culture youth movement which will hold the attention span of said kid for about a couple of weeks here/etc., and with it, the downfall of a legacy that has not been seen since the likes of Queensrÿche and their "unfortunate" turn for the theatrics.

As In Flames moved forward, their merchandise also took a turn for the worst as their shirts started looking like the artsy wardrobe the aforementioned clowns (aka the modern In Flames fans from 2002 and forward) wear.
This presents to you one of the greatest travesties a Metal shirt can ever place on the world of Slaying Steel.
Tarnished Iron presents: In Flames Motörhead inspired shirt.
Words cannot described the atrocity and the crime committed against all that is Metal that this shirt has committed.
Think about what In Flames has done here. They took one of the most well-beloved mascots, Snaggletooth, and one of the most iconic logos, the arched with umlaut Motörhead logo, and made it into one of their emo-inspired trash they refer to as their band schwag.

This is a message to all Metal fans who hold Motörhead to your hearts (and that's all of you). If you see anybody wearing this shirt, I call on you to destroy the target of said bozo wearing this over-glorified clown overalls on the spot. No exceptions and no parameters on how this task needs to be done. And while you're committing the deed, make certain to scream "LEMMY IS GOD!" as a way of letting the dragon at Niflheim know you've just sent another unworthy scraplet to his supper plate.
