Fresh batch of 80s/retro tees (part 2)
Sep 22, 2009 Pop Music-Inspired, Rock / Band Tees, Vintage / Retro Tees
Here’s a new batch of 80s/retro tees – some designs are brand new, some are improved versions of our old stock. (Why do we bother redesigning old tees? Because we know that tastes – ours included – evolve over time and we strive to give you only the best always).
Kokomo (Light) T-Shirt by arncyn / also available on dark shirts.
Although there’s a small city in Indiana of the same name, Kokomo is actually the former name of a real island off the Florida Keys, just like the Beach Boys sang to us in the 80s. That island is now known as Sandals Cay. It would’ve been nice if they kept the old name, huh? Then we can get there fast and then we’ll take it slow. (This one is a redesign.)
You Sunk My Battleship! (Dark) T-Shirt by arncyn / also available on light-colored t-shirts
What a player yells after getting their ass bombed in the popular 80s board game “Battleship.” (This is another redesign.)
Everybody Wang Chung Tonight (Dark) T-Shirt by arncyn / also available on light-colored t-shirts
If you don’t know what that means, don’t fret. Old time ’80s revelers will tell you that it doesn’t really mean anything! It’s really just a lyric in Wang Chung’s (yes that’s the singing duo’s name) 1986 hit “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” but obviously the phrase has surpassed the actual song in terms of popularity.
This is How I Roll (Dark) T-Shirt by arncyn / also available on light-colored t-shirts
The Rubik’s Cube took the world by storm in the early ’70s up ’til the ’80s and then it disappeared. I’ve seen some computerized versions of this 3-D puzzle game pop up in recent years (I even have one on my iPod touch!) but I’m sure you’ll agree that no digital counterpart is better than the real thing, however old-school-clunky it may be. I never had the patience to solve it though. How about you? (This is another redesign.)
Freeze Frame T-Shirt by arncyn
Freeze Frame is the title of a very catchy and popular synth-heavy J.Geils Band track that was released in 1982. I’ll stop here because I think the music video below will do a better job of explaining what the song is all about. Enjoy!

The new shirts are also available at our MAIN store.
