Fruit Of The Loom Clothing Tag Timeline By Year

An evolving Fruit of the Loom t shirt clothing tag label history by year.

How I came up with the years for the tags:

The date on a graphic tee doesn't necessarily mean that was the date the shirt was produced. The copyright dates are the date the image itself was copyrighted and not necessarily when the shirt was printed. Sorry but that Snoopy tee was most likely not made in 1965. A dated event graphic like a 1979 Annual Chili Cook Off is more likely to represent the true vintage age of the shirt. Unless it was a graphic popular enough to be reprinted, there is no reason a t-shirt with an event date would be printed in a later year than it states. Of course, any event shirt could always have been printed on an older blank shirt that the shirt printing business had in stock which is why you might see different tags for the same year. Unless we get a tag history directly from the shirt companies, this can never be an exact science. The years for the tags below were taken from shirts that had years for events that the shirt design was featuring and not from copyright dates. This blog is evolving and will be updated as I collect more examples. This is a tool for me that I am providing to you.
