Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hello,


I bought this t-shirt this morning and I was wondering if it was a t-shirt distributed at the tournament mentioned on it.

Thanks in advance

Amazing tee. I did some digging, and it appears as though the t-shirts were given out at the competition - I attached one below. Oddly yours is different, from the other 3 I was able to find, and can't find an exact match for yours.

I'm not sure what the explanation for that, perhaps the other version was too hard to read due to the way the letters were printed and they did a follow up version that was a smaller run?

Either way I have zero questions as to authenticity, you just gotta dig for answers, the truth is out there! Hit some of the Atari forums!

Thank you for your reply.

I'll go to the Atari Forum and pass on any information here.

awesome keep us posted!

I hadn't noticed but there's no doubt that the organizers have the right design.

SO perhaps that's the explanation - your version is staff/crew? and the other was the giveaway?

No real information on the other model, maybe a test run based on the patch model.

Only one Frenchman (Antoine Vareille) took part in the event, so it could well be him who brought it back from the USA. ( All participants received a T-shirt )

I'm waiting for information from the person I bought the T-shirt from.

Edit : You may be right, the model may be different for the organizers. ( http://www.atariasteroids.net/archives/tag/tournament )

That would be awesome, make yours slightly more rare.
