Came up empty, but likely Dirt Bike / Motocross related rather than a band of any type? Rod Stewart, just a coincidence, just the name of the artist?

The second chap didn't have any more to offer, but yeah, it's very cool, vintage but not an original BOY product, but awesome nonetheless!

Yeah, good eye. Here's the true version, so definitely a bootleg, but is it a modern day counterfeit or a vintage boot?

I can't find any other versions like yours currently for sale on the marketplaces or in google images.

Where did you get it?

Love it. For some reason, the price of Zeppelin tees ...WAY down. Found a few of these that sold in the $100 range. I would hold on to it for now.

Giant def had the account, found two other 1996 leppard slangs on Giant tags, one on this tee jays (but a different design)

I think you're good here - don't think this t-shirt would be a target of modern counterfeiters. Especially with the lessor seen back variant with dates across Asia. It does like a little washed out compared to some crisp versions online, but with a complicated design like that it would be easy to ...

The DS makes sense in the context of it being a euro tag. I just don't see this as potentially being a modern counterfeit. Did you get it from Grailed?

Awesome! Explanation - it's a bootleg from that era. The bootleggers used any blank they could get their hands on, including factory rejects, which are often torn prior to being sold to mark them as such.

Hunt down other tags that have RUMBLE on them, and we'll see what print is attached. I would also go back to your source and find out where he got it from.

My mate from @stylefrommyles came through in the clutch with this back of the tag. So it appears to be a fake tag.

Given how all over the place this tag design is, makes sense to focus on the ribbing on the side of each tag - which I haven't been able to find on any of now about 10 BG tags I have looked at - as well, I've reached out to a contact I know how has one in hand - and I've asked him for a photo of the ...

Would start by focusing on the tag. Based on a small sample size in our tag database - these tags are really inconsistent. In the 3 examples here - the BG portion, is spaced differently each time: https://www.defunkd.com/brand/bg/ so in this small sample size we see that this tag's design is not ...

Ok so the gent I talked to named Dave Edmond, was super helpful, here's his take: "Hi. I don't recognize this at all. I'd say it was probably some type of bootleg - or maybe something made under license somewhere. Its definitely 100% not a 1970's or 1980's print that was sold in London Kings Road ...

I personally reached out to him, he just responded, we shall see!

was a cool little find, cheers!

I don't usually look at these types of garments authenticity wise, but betting that repros have different measurements that we could compare to?

But looks to be legit.

Are you going to sell it?

When I used image search I got a TON of hits from Japan, but this link shows the reproduction of this tag: https://hurugiblog.com/champion-reproduction-or-vintage and it's been updated this year. Josh mentioned inside tags would be a giveaway. That said they could be removed. But it looks like it ...

He replied not fully sure either and was going to reach out to a contact he had with BOY.

Also, decent chance it could be a bootleg BOY item as well.

Ok phew, I think you're good!

Just wanted to know a brief history of the company and if they had printed any other types of tees besides the Jazz/Blues artist prints. Thanks! This should do the trick! Looks to have started in 1986, but found their groove with Blues and Jazz related t-shirts and were producing about 100k t ...
