Beefer Sutherland Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Other than the old "Uzi suicide shirt", I never saw a shirt like this, and can't find any info on it. Long story short, I bought a box of mid to late 80's tour shirts from an estate, and this was in it. I kept a few of the more common tour shirts that fit, but this one is too big, and I have no idea what to make of it. Kinda think it was a bootleg shirt from their Israel show in 1993. Maybe someone here will recognize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 My guess is it’s a Bootleg shirt from outside the gig…. I think Brockum did the Shirts for the Illusions tour. Someone else can verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1991 Use Your Illusion tour shirt is made by The Brockum Group, with the fine print "1991 Guns 'N' Roses, Under License To Brockum". I just don't how international merchandise was handled. The Brockum shirts were made in the USA. Would they really travel with all their shirts, or just have them printed locally?

Still the nicest Guns shirt I own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The biggest hint to me that it's a bootleg is there appears to be no copyright info on the shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the tag. I still have my £5 bootleg shirt from 92. It hasn’t fit me since 95 I wish I was smarter when I was young and bought all large shirts instead of medium… especially bootlegs, they shrink after 2 washes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattleyCrue Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Looks like a bootleg for sure. All tees from 89-94 should have licensed by Brockum on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I loved the Guns N Moses ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. That's what I thought. Just had to see if anyone recognized it, or seen that UZI logo before. Every shirt in the box was legit, and half weren't even worn. Some of the tour shirts didn't have copyright info either (including a few Skid Row tour shirts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not official but they are cool designs! I collect original GNR tees I have probably over 100 plus originals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a Burzum long sleeve shirt on there I had in 1992, wish I had it now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does suck as old Burzum shirts go for a lot these days. I have probably 10 Burzum shirts/longsleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
