Pretty sure it was pulled after a massive public backlash.
they did't asked Hook and other 'thieves' about permission to use cover of their album, so Disney had to back from sell this tees, so the did, now this tee are for hundreds $ on e-bay. it was over month ago.

If it hadn't been pulled so soon, I'd gone for it

I believe it was on sale for five days before it was pulled. When I was a manager there, they had designed a line of football shirts with Hooks Hooligans on them. I explained that it could be deemed as offensive. They pulled them all without selling any! They did not think that branding a Disney character with hooligans was wrong. Just what Walt imagined I am sure.

My first reaction was to laugh out loud - there's too much po-faced reverence about JD, brilliant thought they were and tragic though IC's story is. Can't wait to see what Uncle Walt makes of the Head and Star logo.
I thought it was awesome and would have loved one. I more than half suspect that it would have gone well with Ian's sense of humour too.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
