No because it says something like "Festival Crew" on the back of it.

It looks like an American flag with a pint of beer in front of it to me.

Uhm... Maybe that t-shirt has been printed by a street hustler, because the "Polywag" print looks so much darker than the original one. :] Apart from this, yes, it's the USA flag + a glass of beer.

As mentioned in the thread that [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] posted, the t-shirt that Eric is wearing is from The 1998 Great American Beer Festival.
Description from wikipedia:
"The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) is a three-day annual event hosted by the Brewers Association, held in Denver, Colorado, in mid to late September or early October. The GABF brings visitors from around the world to sample thousands of different American craft beers. Over 100 beer judges from the United States and abroad evaluate beer in the associated competition, ultimately judging several thousand beers entered by hundreds of domestic breweries. Gold, silver and bronze medals in 92 beer-style categories (as of 2015) are awarded, though not every medal is necessarily awarded in each category.
Started in 1982, the GABF was created by nuclear engineer Charlie Papazian in Boulder, Colorado. The original GABF had 22 participating breweries and the 2014 festival had over 700. The GABF is considered the largest ticketed beer festival in the United States."
Great American Beer Festival website: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
As stated on their website, anyone attending the Beer Festival must be at least 21 years of age and provide a photo I.D. Since Eric would have only been 17 during the 1998 Beer Festival, he would not have been able to attend. Being that thousands of people attend every year, it wouldn't have been hard for him to get a t shirt without attending.

Well I mean, the first Pokemon game came out in September 1998 in the US...
I think that video is from March 1999? Anyways, doesn't look like a Pokemon at all lol. They might not have even heard of the thing before they killed people and then themselves.

Sorry if I'm wrong but that doesn't look like an American flag?

i was going to say, i have no clue because you can't get a good glimpse of what's on his shirt. at least i couldn't.
but now that someone else on this thread was able to get a good look, it was a photo of a beer glass.

Exactly. For me this was a little kids thing and I was only CHS Freshman's age at the time. So it must have been even more so for these 18 and 17 year olds.
