A quick post to introduce you to some of our cycling T shirts. Designed for the discerning fixie or single speed T-shirt fan or just people who like cycling (like us). Firstly we've created a steam-punk T shirt for the single speed gentleman. It's a 'Gentlemen Ride Fixed' shirt featuring a victorian rider and some strategically placed text. It's available in a selection of colours on Fruit Of The Loom Heavy shirts (apart from Khaki which they only do a Valueweight one of). This is it:
Second, a 'Life Behind Bars' T shirt (do you see what we've done there?) commemorating the time we've all spent in the saddle. A perfect cycle T-shirt gift for the pony-rider in your household. These are printed onto khaki shirts which give them a nice earthy quality (or something):
Lastly - one for the BMX T-shirt fans out there. This is a T-shirt featuring the classic Raleigh Burner logo from Raleigh's 80's series of cult BMX's. Here at Old Skool Hooligans we never had one (having to make do with a cheap mail order unbranded BMX) but would have been very pleased with a gold Tuff Burner. Raleigh re-released them recently but they were not quite the same (as per the Chopper - the new one didn't look right at all). Anyway - here's the Raleigh Burner T shirt:
Hope you like em. All currently available for £11.99 (although prices will be going up soon so be quick if you want to save £1).

We've just got in some great new Back To The Future T shirts. They're only available in certain sizes at the moment as we're evaluating their popularity. There's certainly a great deal of love for the Zemekis 80's time-travel classic amongst all ages of film fans. To me it's one of those films that once you've started watching it, you have to watch it all the way to the end (see also Spinal Tap, Dirty Harry, Jaws, Godfather). Robert Zemekis was, at the time, the king of teen movies and it's a shame that this blend of family friendly yet at the same time a brilliant cult movie isn't really made today. It was only a matter of time before one of the big license holders in the States started printing them. As such all the Back To The Future tees that we sell are all 100% official fully licensed merch. Treat youself to some classic 80's retro film T-shirts.
Firstly an 80's neon style DeLorean big logo print (click on the pictures to see them on the site....)



Next a Flux Capacitor T shirt featuring a design based on the time travel equipment within the Irish flawed vehicle:



Another shirt in grey with a design based on the original poster logo & DeLorean in a kind of distressed look print. All these shirts are full screenprinted designs.:


Then another in blue with a sublimation print (similar to screen printing but with a smoother & more retro feel where the ink is blended with the material rather than sitting on top of it) featuring the same design as the above but in a ringer style.
I hope you like em.

Jethro Tull T shirts


We have recently imported (at great expense I might add) some awesome new Jethro Tull shirts. There's only a small selection of designs at the moment http://www.oldskoolhooligans.com/catalog/67/jethro_tull but hopefully the supplier will create some more soon. There's the broadsword & the Beast T shirt here http://www.oldskoolhooligans.com/node/318 a nice Too Old To Rock & Roll, Too Young To Die image here http://www.oldskoolhooligans.com/node/319 as well as a Stand Up and an Aqualung shirt. We've also created an unofficial One White Duck shirt showing the equation from the song of the same name. Here at Old Skool Hooligans we think this is pretty much the greatest Tull song ever written so it deserves some sort of tribute. I can't see anyone else doing it.......

Father Ted T shirts


It's been a while since we thought of doing something based on Father Ted. I thought that commemorating the Holy Stone of Clonrichert would be as good as any place to start. I suppose there's any number of artifacts from even this one episode that would make a good shirt. Gary Lineker's Book Of Ghost Stories for one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tentacles_of_Doom).
Anyway you can buy it here
