Early 2000s Nirvana Smiley / Flower Sniffin Tee – Official or Bootleg?

Post by brian19830512 »

Hi everyone, looking for some opinions on this Nirvana Smiley / Flower Sniffin tee.

It’s on an Allstyle Apparel & Activewear tag, assembled in El Salvador, and appears to be from the early 2000s. Double stitch on the sleeves and hem.

The graphics and overall aging look period-correct to me, but I can’t find any copyright/licensing print anywhere on the shirt. I’ve seen other early 2000s versions with a small copyright below the smiley, so that’s the part making me unsure.

Were there legitimate/official versions of this design from this period without a visible copyright, or would the lack of one point more toward a bootleg?

Any thoughts on the tag, print, or overall construction would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think it’s an official reprint, but it’s just not worth much. Not an expert though.
