Long time no see, hope all is well!
I came across this Liquid Blue tag on a Grateful Dead shirt with a 93 copyright on the image. It looks off to me for a couple of reasons, but curious to hear what you think.
Here's my list of concerns:
1. the colors of the swirls look off, too bright, especially the purple one which seems almost pink in the photo. Possibly the shot was taken with flash and they look off because of that.
2. the white stitching in the swirls doesn't seem to be prominent enough.
3. the stitching on the letters looks thinner than I would expect.
4. usually liquid blue tags seem to be more neatly sewn under, although I've seen some that look legit in this style.
5. I wouldn't place it at 1993, because the B looked different in those earlier tags, with a slanted connector between the sides. This style B looks more like the later nineties around 97. That's not really a concern, since copyright is not indicative of actual date, and mid to late nineties would still be cool for this shirt.
