Licensed Masters of the Universe prodcuct via Threadless. I never cared for that cartoon, but I can appreciate a good remix. Skeletor and She-Ra on a skateboard. She-Ra has som custom Air Jordans. – Thanks to Pig City for the tip.

Not only hot, but hot and gross, as in Gross Graphics.

Join the McDonalds skateboard club! The age of this shirt is unknown, but the style and fashion says 80’s to me. The seller claims this was sold in a Sears store, which seems highly unlikely, or at least unusual. I can’t ever remember seeing fast food branded clothing sold at a department store.

It’s the Buckwheat B. Rad O-Tay Skate Club T-shirt. I can’t read a copyright date on this, but it was surely produced after Eddie Murphy popularized the “O-tay” saying in his portrayals of Buckwheat on SNL. Those Buckwheat skits aired from 1981-1984, and forever on reruns. Two cast members are making the most of the u-shaped slide, but Buckwheat is getting the short end of the stick with that bent freestyle board. This appears to be officially licensed “Our Gang” merchandise.

In modern times the skateboard transfer conjures images of going bowl to bowl, or spines on a miniramp. In the 70’s the skateboard transfer was all about t-shirts. This guy either has a gigantic stock of these or he’s completely unable to sell them, because I see these same couple of t-shirt transfers for sale all the time. Hot Dog on the dates to 1977 and Asphalt Animal is from 1978. I like how the seller backlights them so you can see what they look like on a shirt, minus all the parts where it doesn’t adhere or gets wrinkled. As you can tell, I never had good luck with t-shirt transfers as a kid.

Two Keith Meek Slasher graphic ripoffs in one week. I just couldn’t resist the title, sorry. I don’t think this is is officially licensed by Warner Brothers, as I couldn’t find it anywhere except on Ebay. – Thanks to BPA for the tip.

Another fine offering from the folks at Topps, T-Shirt Factory Iron On’s from 1988. They definitely carry on the tradition of Garbage Pail Kids, another Topps product. These iron-on transfers are maybe about 5×7 inches. I don’t actually have this, it was floating around at a party I went to. I did some due diligence when I spotted it and snapped some cell phone pics once I saw there was a skateboard graphic.

Future Envy, by Nathan W. Pyle, available on Threadless.

Hawaiian Punch iron on transfer. The seller says it appears to be from the 80’s but that doesn’t look like 80’s era iron transfer technology to me. I’m thinking closer to mid to late 90’s. UPDATE: Added pics of an 80’s era Hawaiian Punch skateboard. UPDATED UPDATE: This board came up in discussion in the S&A Facebook group and coming back to this 2012 era post with 2012 era low res graphics was embarrassing. Added some better pics of the board from a 2021 auction. And because it was Josh Baker that brought it, up an image search also turned up his 2013 post of the t-shirt transfer that has much better pics.

I don’t know… she looks so bored, possibly confused. I lost the link to this photo, but it was some place in the U.K. (I think) selling N.O.S. t-shirts for exorbitant prices. UPDATE: Dee Dee’s Vintage. Spinnin Wheels. – Thanks Matt.
