RIP. I had a muscle shirt with that logo, and I thought it was badass even though as a very unmuscley awkward 13-yr-old I looked ridiculous in it.
(Actually mine probably said Marky, not Tommy.)
In interviews, Arturo always seemed like an awesome guy.

All the 'less-than-genuine' ones say "Tommy"

I bought it at a show -- probably from Arturo! -- so I think it was legit. It was on the Subterranean Jungle tour.

(Though per wikipedia, Marky was already out of the band by the time I saw them in fall of '83. Didn't realize that.)
