The shirt is a faded blue.If you look at the screen used shirt it is clearly blue, but it is pretty faded.Also , if you watch the arsenio hall show clip with kane the shirt is so faded it almost looks grey, but when it has a wet sheen it turns a dark blue, and yeah photography has a lot to do with the look.Also if you watch that clip, look close, there is only one pocket on the right side of the shirt.I actually just noticed that myself.Denim shirts would be fine,just make sure it does not look too much like jean material.As far as black?Not really, but hey it is your suit.lolI suggest going to wal-mart, and looking in their mens section.they have faded glory blue shirts for $5 right now, and I will tell ya, they are easy to weather, and the holes and rips look really nice as the shirt kind of has a fuzzy feel to it(look close at the part 6 paintball shirt, and you will see the fuzziness I am referring to).No need for washing them over and over, they naturally fray really nice.I did my part 6 with the olive green Faded glory shirts and bought a couple more for my part 3 and 4 redos.They do have light brown buttons, but a sharpie does the trick.They have the proper pockets.Here is a trick, take a dark blue shirt do your latex, modge podge, or perma wet, whatever suits you, and take some grey primer spray, and give it a light mist all over the shirt(I use spray paint, and watered down acrylics for a good majority of my weathering).It gives the shirt a slight faded look.Also if you get the faded glory shirts ,and hit it with a sanding sponge all over. and especially around the pockets and collar. It will actually give you a really nice worn faded look, but do this before you add the wet material(latex, podge,permawet).Good luck bro, and look forward to your costume pics.

Also black will not show as many details, and may blend in to well with the night. You can't go by what 1,000 people say, only by what 1 customer wants, or of course screen accuracy. Which is why most do custom work as opposed to mass-marketing.
