Authentic 1990s Dropkick Murphys promotional t-shirt featuring the iconic skeleton bagpiper graphic. This piece references the band's rendition of the Irish folk ballad "The Fields of Athenry," a staple in their live sets and a nod to their Celtic punk roots. The artwork is credited to E. Kaplan, a frequent collaborator during the band's early years. Printed on a forest green Fruit of the Loom BEST heavyweight blank.
The Dropkick Murphys formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1996. This specific tag style—the Fruit of the Loom "Best" with the white satin texture and "Made in El Salvador of USA fabric"—dates this garment to the late 1990s. It represents the era of their transition into the mainstream punk scene, characterized by a boxy, heavy-duty fit that has become a vintage standard.
The shirt shows honest character from age. The screen print exhibits notable cracking throughout the front and back graphics, consistent with heavy-wear vintage items. The fabric has a general fade but remains structurally sound with no significant holes or stains.
Tag Size: 2XL (fits true to its era)
Pit to Pit: 27 inches
Length: 31 inches
