From the LEGENDARY mind of artist & cartoonist Steve Nazar --
the guy who literally re-invented "graphic tees" in the 1980's when he brought to life the iconic "Thrilla Gorilla" and "Da' Boys" characters for Town & Country (T&C) Surf -- comes an all-new collaboration with Gecko Hawaii for our Artist Series!
We are stoked to bring you tee #3 in a series of 6 featuring a brand-new, motley crew of wild party animals that instantly generate that "nostalgic, 1980's neon, throwback skate/surf" feeling of pure awesomeness that you've been longing for -- with a new gang of neon icons for a whole new generation!
T-SHIRT FEATURES:
- Tee #3 In The Gecko Hawaii X Steve Nazar Storyline!
- Tee Type: Limited Printing on a 1980'S SINGLE STITCH tee. These tees have big, thick collors close to the neck and big sleeves, the way they created tees in the 1980's -- great tees to roll up the sleeves and help bring back that original 80's tee feeling!
- 100% Cotton
- Color: Retro Neon Purple (it's almost like a blue/purple or hyacinth)
- Uses Retro, Neon Green 1X Textured Puff Ink!
- Front Pocket Logo uses a retro, Glow In The Dark Green Puff Ink & features Gecko's 1980's "Nod, Nod, Wink, Wink" Pocket Logo Design!
- So many cool characters!
- So many easter eggs!
- This is the tee that reveals the storyline of all 3 tees to date! But to figure out the story, you have to find the clues on the tee!
- Shirt uses the EXACT Neon purple (Blurple) color recipe from 1988 -- nostalgia overload!
- Neon pigment dyed! Creates a brighter, bolder neon color made to "distress" to your specific body the more that you wear it!
- Made In The USA - 6.5oz, 18 singles, USA cotton, for a thicker, more durable tee (which can also help to show less of a beer belly!)
- 1980's cut sleeves -- wider and longer!
- Unisex -- GET YOUR ACTUAL SIZE! (The cut on these skews larger).
Anybody who grew up in the 1980's either wore (or wanted to wear) a tee with Nazar characters on them, or rented the T&C video game that featured the "Thrilla" characters for their original Nintendo Entertainment System!
For those of you who have been missing the nostalgic, laid back, party/skate/surf vibe of Nazar's artwork -- and have been buying old vintage versions on eBay in order to see it again in all of it's original & amazing neon & lightly puffed ink glory -- the WAIT IS FINALLY OVER -- And GECKO is proud to be the one that does it!
Please note, in general, the cost of our tees are not going up -- these Gecko X Collaboration tees cost more than normal to print, as we used a special, 18 station print/flash retro printing machine to make it as authentic as possible, which costs slightly more to create -- plus we want to be able to support the artists who participate in the Artist series.
