A Shallow Dive Into Adult Swim T-Shirts: Space Ghost and Beyond

@tiltedmoons is the online moniker of t-shirt collector Brian Lugo. Self-described, “Chicago has-been with Floridian funk.” visit his page on Instagram to see more of his vintage Space Ghost shirt collection along with other gems from the 90s-00s. Our story starts with Space Ghost. The classic Hanna-Barbera property that was given a new life by being reimagined from his 60s intergalactic superhero persona into an overly confident, yet very out of place, 90s late-night talk show host. “Space Ghost Coast to Coast” was one of Cartoon Network’s first original productions. The weirdness of the show eventually gave way to the ... Read more

Love is a Mixtape

The Goldbergs have returned! Back in May I geeked out and watched every episode from the first season and documented which vintage t-shirts make cameos. Well, I’m turning this into a weekly report… But sadly, I don’t have much to report t-shirt wise from the first episode. It didn’t feature much if any true vintage tees (with prints.) Our gut says that Lost Boys tee above is not true vintage. But thankfully the show has so much retro eye candy, nostalgic flashbacks, and laughs that we have found it in our hearts to forgive. Besides, I’ve heard rumblings from several ... Read more

The Ultimate Guide to 1980s T-Shirts in The Goldbergs

If you haven’t yet tuned in to The Goldbergs, there’s no time like the present… err… past. The show is set in 1980-something (need I say more?) and documents the goings-on of a family in Pennsylvania. There’s a rad twist, though: the show is based on real-life producer Adam Goldberg and his experiences growing up in the best decade ever. As a child (and apparently as a grown-up, too) Adam was frequently situated behind a camera. As a result, snippets of real, vintage Goldberg family camcorder footage rounds out each episode, revealing actual-events-turned-plot-inspiration. Basically, the show features more “reality” than ...

Big Bang Theory Gets Real Vintage Tee Makeover

Our theory is that they would make a bigger bang if they outfitted themselves in true vintage t-shirts. Here’s what they would wear if Defunkd was in charge of their wardrobe. Leonard Leonard commonly sports a modern-day red Periodic Table of the Elements tee…which is kind of cool. But comparing new tees to their vintage counterpart is like comparing Ag to Au. The proper detailing on this vintage tee ensures it’s worth its weight in Lu. Available at: Defunkd A radioactive symbol is no stranger to Leonard’s chest, so here’s a true vintage tee that radiates kitschy coolness. This t-shirt ... Read more

Magnum Kitsch

Take a peek at this wicked new trailer for the new Oliver Stone flick called Savages. Keep an eye on Taylor Kitsch (aka John Carter of mars) whose character Chon sports nifty Hawaiian shirts throughout the trailer. We don’t typically stray away from tees but when one of them looks to be Selleck’s epic vintage red Paradise Found jungle bird print, we start paying attention. The collective does have some pretty rare vintage Magnum tees available and our Magnum Halloween costume breakdown is worth investigating.
