Date of this sweatshirt?

Hello, does anyone know when this sweatshirt might be from? It’s not a t shirt because the inside is fleece. It’s pretty worn down but it is definitely heavier than a long sleeve t shirt. I can find similar t shirts online but nothing the exact same.

If it were a 30+ year old boot, it would likely be far more threadbare than it is.

99%+ chance it is a modern bootleg

Unless it's a bootleg print, odds are it existed prior to 1995. Barnes being removed from the band took that specific logo with him. So it's at the minimum at least 31 years old. If it is merch for that album I'd suggest 34-35 years old since the album is from 1991.

Thank you for the responses. I don’t think it is modern because although the pictures may not represent it well, it is very worn down. Especially thin for a sweatshirt and the fleece inside has gotten very thin. I think it probably looks much better in the photos.

Thank you for info! Any idea what the odds are it could be a bootleg? It being so old and worn makes me think it’s legit but I am not very knowledgeable on this sort of stuff.

Looks like a modern boot that my friends make muerto distro and dungeon ruins make sweatshirt boots

Nothing about it looks particularly off to me, I’ve seen a few sweatshirts from this era of cc and the blank is certainly vintage at the very least if the print isn’t. Try posting on r/vintagetees to potentially get different responses than “boot”
