7 WWE T-Shirts That Were Total Rip-Offs

6. Putting The 'Punk' In CM Punk

CM Punk has never been shy to incorporate his other passions into his ring attire. His heel run as WWE Champion saw him often don a plain (but eye catching) 'Gracie Jiu-Jitsu' hoodie, while his now-legendary Money In The Bank 2011 entrance saw the debut of a t-shirt based on the Chicago state flag. However, Punk's most blatant rip-off came during his time as leader of the Straight Edge Society. As his ring name suggests, Punk is heavily into rock music - particularly that of the fast, aggressive, three-chord variety. What better way to pay homage to the genre than wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a slightly altered Ramones logo. The New York foursome popularised punk in the late 1970s, and are responsible for one of the most iconic tees of all time. Punk's take on the classic Ramones logo retains most of the original's key features; it has the circle, the eagle, and the encircling words. The Straight Edge Superstar's personality is allowed to shine through slightly, the lightning bolts and central X-shape adding a dash of originality to an otherwise faithful recreation of a classic.
