Varsity 1980 Tee

The Varsity 1980 Birth Year Tee is a collegiate-style graphic shirt that puts your birth year front and center. It features a bold varsity shield with the number 1980. The shirt is made from soft cotton and printed in the USA. It makes a perfect 46th birthday gift or reunion outfit for 1980 babies.

What does the 1980 varsity design look like?

The design centers on a classic collegiate shield. It looks like the crest on an old university sweatshirt. Inside the shield sits the number 1980 in bold block letters. The lines are clean and the style is timeless. It reads clearly from across the room.

The print has a soft hand feel that blends into the fabric. There are no cracks or heavy plastic layers. The ink soaks into the cotton fibers. It will not sit on top like a sticker. The shield sits at chest level for a balanced look.

Five shirt colors are available. Black gives strong contrast to the graphic. White keeps the design crisp and fresh. Navy adds a true varsity feel. Forest and Red bring a sporty edge. The artwork is original to Quirktee. Every design is trademark-checked before printing. You will not find this exact shield on a bargain rack.

What fabric and fit can you expect?

The tee is made from 100% premium ring-spun cotton. Heather colors use a soft cotton and poly blend. The fabric is pre-shrunk and side-seamed. That means it keeps a clean shape wash after wash. The fit is unisex and true to size.

Between sizes, choose the larger one. For a roomier feel, order one size up. Seven sizes run from XS to 3XL. The shirt feels soft from the first wear. There is no scratchy break-in period.

Direct-to-garment printing sinks the ink into the fibers. There is no stiff plastic layer on top. Machine wash cold and inside out. Tumble dry low to keep colors bright.
