First of all the shirts that I received had a full black label printed at the neckline.  My first impression was that the fabric was of thinner material than older shirts with a red label.  I have measured the fabric thickness and compared with older shirt and found them to be the same.  However when looking at the transparency of the fabric the black label appeared to be less dense.  I weighed the two shirts and found the red label to be 9% heavier than the black labeled shirt supporting my impressions.  I am expecting this new black labeled shirt to not withstand the test of time loosing its shape much sooner.  I guess if you buy cheap you are going to get cheap.  Or maybe the Hanes people think that their customers are too stupid to care about the 9% difference.  I do know when I wear the black labeled shirt that it feels lighter than the older red labeled shirt.  Would not buy this shirt again.
