Optimized Short Sleeve T-Shirt for Powell Peralta Customers

This item is a screen-printed logo t-shirt featuring a large back graphic and a small left chest graphic. The fabric is 100% soft spun cotton jersey, weighing 5.5oz. The shirt was originally released in 1984, with the artwork designed by Vernon Courtlandt Johnson.

In the summer of 1984, while professional skateboarder Mike McGill was perfecting the challenging 540 McTwist maneuver at a Swedish summer camp, V.C.J. was working on a new deck graphic for him. Given the popularity of the "skull & bones" theme at the time, this became the design direction chosen for McGill's new skateboard deck.

The t-shirt is made from 100% cotton and can be machine washed. It has a pull-on closure type, and the inside label is also screen printed. The product was imported, but the specific country of origin is not provided.

This classic t-shirt design pays homage to an iconic moment in skateboarding history. As Mike McGill was pushing the boundaries of what was possible on a skateboard, the artwork created by V.C.J. helped define the edgy, rebellious spirit of the sport during that era.

The combination of the bold, graphic imagery and the high-quality, durable cotton construction make this t-shirt a sought-after item for fans of vintage skateboarding culture. Whether worn as a standalone piece or layered with other streetwear, this tee is sure to turn heads and spark conversations about the golden age of skateboarding.

For those seeking a stylish, nostalgic nod to skateboarding's past, this 1984 t-shirt is an essential addition to any wardrobe. Its timeless design and quality craftsmanship ensure that it will remain a beloved part of skate culture for years to come.
