Vintage tour shirt from Israel.... Anyone ever see one like this? Or know anything about it?


Recommended Posts

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. 3QTclAx.jpg

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. 

Thanks. I can even confirm Brockum.

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?

The biggest hint to me that it's a bootleg is there appears to be no copyright info on the shirt. 

That and the tag. I still have my £5 bootleg shirt from 92. It hasn’t fit me since 95 :lol: I wish I was smarter when I was young and bought all large shirts instead of medium… especially bootlegs, they shrink after 2 washes.

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).

Looks like a bootleg for sure. All tees from 89-94 should have licensed by Brockum on the bottom. 

 

Looking around at some European tour shirts from that time, I see a few that aren't copyrighted, or Brockum. I guess they're all just bootlegs? (Not the best designs)

That shit is pretty dope though.

Thanks!

Yeah, I got lucky finding these shirts. Just trying to figure out what's what with them.

Yes I believe that both of those on the WyCo site are either parking lot tees or bootlegs. Definitely not official but they are cool designs! I collect original GNR tees I have probably over 100 plus originals

Very interesting.. old school fan from Israel here, I've never saw this design. 

Guess it's a dated bootleg

WOW

Thanks, now I'll be stuck down this rabbit hole looking up vintage shirts all night. Awesome site!

It’s the best shirt site I’ve come across. It pisses me off going through some of them, lots that I had are worth a few quid now, but I don’t have them do I !!! There’s a Burzum long sleeve shirt on there I had in 1992, wish I had it now..

That does suck as old Burzum shirts go for a lot these days. I have probably 10 Burzum shirts/longsleeves.
