    Van Halen Diver Down 82 Shirt?

    Anyone here know if they made an official 1982 Van Halen Diver Down Shirt, such as this one in the picture..
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Van-...vip=true&rt=nc

    Opinions on if it's an official VH shirt or bootleg. I've never saw one quite like it.

    I don't remember that style of shirt. Most of the Diver Down tour shirts had a lion with sunglasses busting through the VH logo on the front.

    I remember this one. A low quality design. Most likely a bootleg shirt from the era....

    100% not legit. The wrong guitar on the back is the first clue.

    Parking lot = run off in someone's basement = not legit.

    I've seen shirts like this where the VH logo is flipped. Yeah, that'll save the bootlegger's ass in court.

    Thanks for the responses! Has anyone ever saw a shirt like this back in the early 80s besides DiamondJimi? Does anyone believe it's a bootleg from the 82 tour? DiamondJimi was this shirt sold in regular clothing and/or music stores?

    I don't believe that shirt is from 1982, period. I think it is one of those done way after the fact, to try and make people think it was from 1982.

    I'm not saying it's not cool. I kind of like it. If you like it, and want one, get one. Who cares if it's authentic, as long as you know what you are getting.

    I've got a pair of Ed's stage worn striped up sneakers for sale. 250 bucks. They got holes and shit in em and these are the real deal. And if you buy them this weekend I'll drop the price to 100 bucks and I'll cover the paypal fees. Shipping is an extra $12.35 for the medium priority flat rate box.

    Shit, almost forgot to tell you...For an extra 20 bucks I'll have Ed sign the shoes. You just gotta tell me if you want both shoes signed or one shoe signed or you want a nice little picture drawn on it. Hell, for 30 bucks I'll have Val, Al, AND Wolfie sign 'em!! And don't tell anybody this, OK? For just 100 extra bucks, that's 200 bucks plus shipping, I'll toss in Wolfie's Magic Earbuds! No shit. These are the Real Deal Motherfuckers. The earbuds that raised Ed from the Dead.

    I also have one of Dave's Zorro capes that I'll let go for 75 bucks. Just let me know what color you want it to be.

    Ridiculous. Yeah, get your "retro" and "vintage" concert t-shirt made in China, people. It's only $150 (minus tax and shipping) and will literally fall apart after say, two washes. But no need to worry since most of you cretins don't know shit about any form of personal hygiene.

    I'll toss in Dave's signature for FREE!!

    And last but certainly not least...up for sale is the cup Dave drank from at the Cafe Wha?!!! That's right - the very cup that his holy lips wrapped around and sucked down some jack and Coke. Warf sent it to me one day after a particularly long cocaine/hooker binge. And today it can be YOURS for the insanely low price of just 600 bucks!

    Now, I know, you're probably thinking that's a lot for a damn cup. Well kiss my ass! Where else are you gonna find a cup that has both Dave's AND the legendary Warf's DNA all in the same spot?? Well, there was that incident in the alley after the show but that's another story...So act fast! This one won't last long at this price. And if you order today, I'll even have Dave sign it!

    The official VH shirts were good quality. Heavy cotton blend shirts with good silk screening. Mine lasted a long time before they wore out. My 1980 Invasion shirt lasted for years.
