Legit or not? Print seems way too new. Additionally, I have trouble dating mid 90s-present Hanes tags in general. Bought it online, and the seller had it listed as an authentic vintage shirt, but didn't show a clear picture of the tag. I decided to gamble on it since the price was pretty good. If its not legit, I should be able to return based on their false advertising. Thanks!

The tag seems to match the fake we have listed here - with the additional concern of it being from Haiti, and the undertag not being fully visible. Also, the way it's partially covered by the top seam, the finishing on the side is also more prominent than the OG. All red flags.

Didn't study the print tho.

Yea, it all definitely seems off to me. Were the Hane's tags where "Heavyweight" is encased in a blue box even around in the mid 90s? All of the references for the heavyweight tags that I see, "Heavyweight" is in blue lettering, instead of white lettering in a blue box. I'm trying to get better with Hanes tags lol.

Its new product, there are many possibilities that I can say
1. This is not an original Hanes release (reprint)
2. This could be an original Hanes tag from (2001-2010)
3. It could also possibly be called fake because this release has never been reprinted
