Just picked up this MM red Lips t-shirt from a thrift shop, as the screen print looks good quality, the BG tag looks good and it states "(C) 2000 Marilyn Manson Under License To Giant" underneath the "Marilyn Manson" on the back. Don't know much about vintage tshirts but after some googling I understand BG blanks were used by bands in the 2000s, but are often faked. Have seen fakes of this same design with the "Marilyn Manson" on the front above his face, so somewhat hopeful lol. Was hoping to get some more opinions. Thanks in advance.

Legit BG tags have soooo many variances between them that we can only really compare this to known fakes, and this isn't one we have archived, yet.

That said, from what I can see the print looks good, anyone else?

Thanks both! Glad my intuition may finally be correct. Worth the $10 risk!
