What is the pit to pit, and what concerns do you have? It doesn't immediately have any red flags

Speaking on FOTL tags, measured 21x30. Tag already looked sus but because it was on sale (Boxing Day) thought it was worth taking the risk.

I have an actual Brockum one that's good but something about this intrigued me.

I have never seen a fake FOTL Made in Canada tag. Put the two t-shirts you have together and photograph the fronts side by side and lets compare.

Here's the other tee.

The fade on the Brockum noticable and omits a couple dates on the FOTL one along with the Faith No More supporting hit.

If I was to guess, the Brockum is from the OG run of dates, and the FOTL was printed with the rescheduled postponed dates.

Yes this variant totally makes sense, on the Canadian FOTL - you can see the Canadian dates. Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, where Faith was Present.

Both seem fine to me. As does the original one posted, although they never answered about their concerns.

Also, note that some of them, on the rear, have Metallica first, and some have Guns first, another variation.
