On other photos
from the period, Gene is seen wearing another home-made t-shirt... a black t-shirt with a
golden KISS logo (picture E).
By the end of 1973, it was the idea that everybody in the band would wear a dark, tight
outfit, and in picture F you can see Gene's. It was a pair of dark pants (probably jeans),
a studded leather belt, and a tight, long-sleeved T-shirt. Since the picture is
black-and-white, I can't tell what color the shirt had, but it is obviously somewhat
lighter than the pants! Picture G shows another version of that costume, with a darker
shirt! Here you can also see Gene's first platform boots: a pair of plain, black boots. |
