Information about the Giant T-shirt tag-Giant Records and Merchandising was a joint venture founded in 1990 by legendary rock manager Irving Azoff and Warner Bros. Although Giant also produced merchandise for Warner Bros movies and cartoons their t-shirts quickly became synonymous with rock music. This was by design since at the time it was thought Rock fans were more loyal than others and it was hard to argue since in 1989 Brockum and Winterland combined for nearly $500 million in sales. Starting in 1991 Giant used three tags interchangeably, with no reliable heuristic. While other brands like Brockum silently used FOTL for their blanks, Giant entered into a different agreement with the manufacturers who supplied their blanks and included the company on their tag. It is not unusual to find a t-shirt on both the plain OG tag and Anvil/Tee Jays tag. Also not unusual is finding plain white Anvil/Tee Jays tags on Licensed to Giant t-shirts. It’s hard to talk about this period without talking about Brockum, but unfortunately, very little info is available on them for this time period. For example, Brockum handled all the merchandise for 1991 Lollapalooza, but after 1992 it was Giant. Most notably, the iconic Nirvana ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ with Giant/Tee Jays and Giant/Tultex tags reads ‘1993 Nirvana Under License to Brockum.’ This t-shirt was also the 1st use of the Giant/Tultex tag which would be used up until 1996. Giant Tultex tag shirts were sold at concerts, including TOOL shows.
