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.

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?

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

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.

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!
