wondering if someone had more info on this. looks like the one i used to have, but tag is only giant, not giant by tee jays. i assume this is a second or third print of it? maybe from 91-93?

I would have assumed Giant without TeeJays was first - I've never really dug into Giant -
but perhaps it was always an extension of TeeJays? I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason as the the timeline of Giant tag with/without TeeJays - take a look here:

There's two tees from 1991 - one with just Giant, one with Giant / TeeJays

I believe Giant by Tee Jays preceded the regular Giant tag. I assume the Giant by TJ tags show up on some later 90's shirts as they were merely depleting their remaining inventory, which was mixed in with the regular Giant tagged shirts.
