It is possible that the shirt sold in this issue is backstock of the Winterland shirts; however, this same issue includes the first mention of the 1996 "Rock Music" T-shirts (another Winterland design re-release done by Giant), indicating that merchandise responsibilities had already been shifted to Giant.
