Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hey Defunkd community.. I'm hoping you might be able to legit check/give your two cents on this Vintage Nirvana Incesticide shirt. XL measures 23x29
1) I haven’t been able to figure out why some of these only have Nirvana 1993 licensing while some also say licensed by Brockum or Giant next to the 1993
2) I'm not sure if the big Nirvana should all have strong golden boxes around the letters “V” and “A” or if some variations should be expected. This one has some white in the print on the V & A
3) I've seen some supposedly “legit” Anvil tags have the red bar not meet perfectly with the L but also wanted to point that out in case

I've attached several pictures, but happy to take others if needed. Any help provided is greatly appreciated.

1 - Don't worry about that, here are two from our archive with both:

3 - the tag does look a little wonky, but you can see from our archive, Anvil didn't exactly have the branding always matching:

looks like yours has a bit of a print mishap/bleed on the black ink, making that lower part of the i and l, and all the other letters actually have an off footprint.

Measurements and shirt construction wise - it seems to check out in terms of that tag.

I haven't done a print comparison yet for Question 2.

Thanks for taking the time to put together that detailed reply. Based on that info, it seems to check out. If you have the time/resources to look into Question 2, I'd appreciate it. I know all prints won't be exactly the same though, so if everything else checks out, hopefully it's authentic.
