What is the deal with "vintage" shirts - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

gilligan fanatic · 10-20-2009, 08:52 PM

I was looking to buy a Long-Sleeve Arizona Cardinals shirt, and there really aren't a whole lot of options to begin with. I finally found one I like online, and it is a "vintage" one. The Cardinal Logo looks faded out. I know that is the style, but whats the deal with it. I have noticed it on other shirts at stores too and have seen a tone of people at school wearing shirts with worn out logos on them. The worn out and faded look just doesn't do anything for me. I am just wondering what everyone else thinks of it, because it seems like it is getting more popular.

I can't imagine paying money for something that already looks worn and used. I think it looks tacky. That's just my humble opinion

I'm ok with the vintage look when it's t-shirts that represent bands and old tv shows.

If you're ever at a thrift store such as Goodwill or Salvation Army and see any vintage concert tour shirts then my advice is to grab them. Vintage rock band tour shirts are going for astronomical prices on eBay especially Iron Maiden. Some of their 80's tour shirts have sold for up to $800. Be careful though if you find anything that looks vintage because some of the older tour shirts are being reissued.

I'm not really big on those vintage shirts, but some of them are okay, I guess.

I like vintage clothes although not a fan of the faded logo.

Same here, even though I dont wear them.

I personally like vintage clothes. Like browneyes, I also like shirts representing musicians and TV shows.

They're cool. I don't have a problem with them.

I also like the vintage soda pop and candy shirts too.

I have a friend whose daughter wears the rock music tee shirts she wore in high school.

I bought a shirt at The Ozark Cafe in Jasper, Arkansas, last July, and not until I got home I saw that the design was faded (a setback if you ask me). Now I think I understand why after reading this thread.
