Official Metallica 'Phantom Lord' t-shirt, bought from the MetStore.
Back in 2013 when this was released, I actually ordered the plain-backed version (because I didn't attend the Asia '13 tour for which this was originally printed and I don't believe in wearing tour shirts unless I was there) but as they sent this one and the design is BAD ASS, I put my preferences to one side...!
The front might be one of their best designs lately. The design looks a bit misplaced however. Like it belongs on a Deathspell Omega shirt or something. I have a similar thing going on with a 'tallica bootleg I own where the motif on the front looks like it would be more at home on an Autopsy shirt.
Cool shirt, a bit perplexing. But cool none the less!
Footnote: as far as the "I don't wear unattended tour shirts" thing. To hell with it! If 16 year old hipsters can wear Black Sabbath shirts with "Tour '76" or something like that printed on it you can wear this without shame.

Interesting points.
And yeah, your latter statement is kinda what I figured for this shirt too.
