Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam t-shirt from the 1992 “World Jam” tour. Jeff Ament is shown with his black Hamer 12-string bass, and he’s wearing a “King’s X” wristband. The back of the shirt lists the cities on the tour, and just like major league baseball’s World Series, only includes cities in the USA and Canada.
Reproduction t-shirt of the same design that was sold on an online auction site. It was represented by the seller, a virtual record store in Seattle, as the genuine tour t-shirt. The colors are completely different and design differs in many ways from the original shirt. The back of the shirt is completely different - apparently the faker wasn’t able to duplicate the artwork.
