CHALLENGE: Post your oldest bike t-shirt.

[Pearl]

I have been meaning to do this for a while, but kept getting sidetracked. I don't buy clothes often and relied on being clothed from bicycle races way back when you would get a t-shirt at every H2H race. I have 3 Wawayanda Spring Cleaning shirts.

My oldest shirt is from 2010, My first Cat 2 race at Blue Mountain. I remember this adventure vividly. I'm sure some of you real OG's have some real classics hanging; you didn't throw them out, right?

A buddy of mine had this made for me after I got run over by a Chemlawn truck during a ride. Way back in 87. Haven’t worn it in ages. It’s fun to pull it out of the closet every once in a while to look at though.

I'll dig it out later, but I have two contenders. One from T-Town swap meet and one from my Grandfather. My wife won't let me wear either shirt, though.

I think I have a VT MTB Fest shirt that predates this, but can't locate it.

Here is 2008 or 09 JORBAFEST gear.
That was a fun day.

Ha! That's great. I was only there spectating as a curious bike-obsessed teen.

Hecklers! Monster T. Magura hydro rim breaks that eventually crushed my rims. @jimvreeland knows them wells.
It was the break out year of the big bangers. Courses went across ski trails instead of down them. Saw like 8 snapped frames that day. Next year we both had super8s.

That shirt is great...its a 91 but has '80s graphic scheme and colors!
