Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hi, in my search for t-shirts, I've often come across this label, which should be the one used by Desantis in the 80s.I often see t-shirts with this label missing the word "Love."

I've always wondered if these are simply fakes or if the ones with this word are a kind of Easter egg. Has anyone ever noticed this detail? Thanks to anyone who answers.

Great eye, I had always assumed they all say love, as we featured that one here:

Definitely not a case of counterfeiting, I don't think fakes of this tag exist, they would be really hard to pull off anywhere near convincingly.

I think at some point they just decided to drop the love for some reason.
