Hey everyone,
I've been looking into this Nirvana From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah tee and wanted to get some opinions from collectors who are familiar with original 90s Nirvana merchandise.
The shirt features a Wild Oats Made in USA tag (XL), with a © 1996 Nirvana copyright printed beneath the front graphic. The back reads “FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF THE WISHKAH.”
The copyright date lines up with the album's 1996 release, and the overall fading and print wear look consistent with an older shirt to me.
However, I've come across a few different versions of this design, and I'm particularly curious about the Wild Oats variant.
Has anyone seen a confirmed original 1996-era example with this exact tag and print combination?
I'd also be interested to know whether this design was produced on multiple blanks during its original release, or if there are any known later reproductions that closely resemble this version.
I've attached photos of the front, back, tag, and copyright detail for reference.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
