Never saw this before: Just found 2 Bob Marley T-Shirts, by Iron Maiden . Made in USA. A little digging and the RN# belongs to Union Underwear Co. in Kentucky, which apparently operates as a subsidiary of FOL. Anybody ever seen this? No date on the shirt, and I can't find any info on the label to get a bead on the time period.

Re: Iron Maide BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
Weird! Could have just been the blank they used. Overstock of maiden branded tees bought up. Maybe mid to late 90s when their popularity dipped?

Re: Iron Maide BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
Weird, right? I probably would have skipped buying the tees as modern except that the Iron Maiden label threw me for a loop. And BTW, the print is really nice. Whoever did them did a great job. The other tee is a heather gray, same design. I tried calling the Union Underwear Co & they referred me to "corporate." I'm going to give them a call today and see

Old fake t-shirt from Thailand..Ask other Malaysia or Thailand collector to make sure.
Re: Iron Maide BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
matmin, can you expand on your post? I'm not sure what you mean
Re: Iron Maide BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
the Iron Maiden brand, it was used on a fake band t-shirt manufactured in Thailand. I'm not sure how old it is, maybe over 10 years.
Re: Iron Maide BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
Thanks -- I'll try to gather more info that way

Re: Iron Maide BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
Upon doing research & reading the replies here, most likely a bootleg, but I probably would have layed down a few bucks just because of the Maiden tag. The Ebay app is great when you're on the fence about buying certain tees, but it's tough to do a thorough search on novelty stuff while standing in the store aisle. But even licensed Marley & Hendix stuff is tough to sell, because there is so much of it (approaching Nascar-like saturation). But if you can get it under $2 in almost new or unworn shape, eventually it'll sell in the fixed price catagory for $10-15. Especially attractive designs, preferably black or rainbow tie-dye.
Knowing what I know now, I'd auction list this shirt for $20 to start, then lower it if there's no interest. Then if no bids, I'd do a fixed price 30 day listing at same price. Good luck!

Re: Iron Maiden BRAND Bob Marley T-Shirt
10 Years after this post I still can't find an example of this tag being used on a Legit t-shirt, including Maiden. Appears to be somewhat short lived, sometime in the early 2000s. So it's vintage at this point, but a bootleg creation.
