Theory:
Morrissey Camp is not the source for the design. They don't like the shadow at the bottom of the shirt, but for whatever reason, Warner is not going to go back in with the clone stamp to remove it. So Morrissey camp circles the shadow and passive aggressively posts the cover because they know the nature of Solo. After all, Morrissey camp is playing nice with Pete Galli, but there's still some room for plausible deniability posting this cover with their subtle lassoing. And Morrissey camp is never going to be a breeze to work with, they've got to live up to their reputation somehow to establish hand in some way.

Could be... all those posts about how much Morrissey has lost it with this cover, and we don't know if he had anything to do with it or was even consulted.
