World Tour 1980-81 Tees
1980, AUCOIN
Three variations of the UNMASKED tour shirt exist. The first one, sold on the tour, has the ‘World Tour...’ writing and a strange white area near the top of Gene and Paul’s heads. This appeared as if the instructions on how to cut out the image at pre-press were not followed or forgotten.
The second one, sold through the 1980 KISS Army Fan Club for $7, fixes this problem but loses the ‘World Tour’ slogan - possibly so the tee could be sold long after the tour was over. The image itself is taken from the Dynasty LP insert poster with Eric Carr added into Peter’s position.
The German logo version was seen in the 1980 merchandise form from that country.
