Description: In Rastafari, the Lion of Judah symbolizes divine authority, strength, and the living presence of God through Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, believed by many Rastafari to be the returned Messiah. The image connects to biblical lineage, tracing Selassie’s heritage to King Solomon and the tribe of Judah. Spiritually, the Lion represents resistance against oppression, African identity, and the power of righteousness over injustice. It is often shown with Ethiopian or red, gold, and green colors, standing for liberation, faith, and unity among people of African descent and the global Rastafari community.
Description: The Durr Burger is a fictional fast food chain from a playful, ever-evolving video game universe. Known for its giant mascot head sign with bulging eyes, a lolling tongue, and a goofy grin, Durr Burger represents the game’s love of absurd humor and bright, cartoonish world-building. First appearing as an in-game restaurant, it quickly became a visual shorthand for the game itself, popping up in locations, events, and cross-dimensional storylines. Whether half-buried in sand, smashed by meteors, or reimagined in other realities, the Durr Burger turns fast food parody into a memorable piece of pop-culture lore, but has always remained a perfectly greasy taste of victory well done.
Description: The Grand Tetons rise abruptly from the Jackson Hole valley, a jagged wall of stone that feels both ancient and startlingly immediate. Unlike many mountain ranges, the Tetons offer no gentle foothills—just sharp, dramatic peaks thrust skyward, shaped by glaciers and time. Their stark profiles catch changing light with painterly intensity, glowing pink at dawn and turning steel-blue at dusk. Home to alpine lakes, roaming wildlife, and deep silence, the Tetons inspire awe not through sheer size alone, but through their raw clarity—a reminder of nature’s power, beauty, and enduring presence.
Description: Big Barry’s Grub ’n Firewater was pure Long Island roadhouse legend—rowdy, welcoming, and crammed wall to wall with Western kitsch. The name came from owner Barry Layne, a man barely five feet tall in his boots, whose oversized cowboy hat and even bigger personality made the nickname “Big Barry” feel inevitable. He opened the first spot in Rocky Point in 1977, followed by Lake Grove in 1980 and Huntington in 1983. The menu went big too, with burgers and steaks sold by the pound, making it a hit with families and night owls alike. When Barry was in the house, he worked the room, greeting everyone like an old friend. And if the food fades from memory, the corny TV commercials—packed with slapstick and Barry’s charm—never did.
Description: Soccer in America has grown from a niche pastime into a vibrant, part of the national sports culture. Once overshadowed by football, baseball, and basketball, the game found new footing with the launch of a new league in 1996, fueled by youth participation, global stars, and a passionate fan base. Youth leagues, and international broadcasts helped deepen the sport’s roots, while recent success of the U.S. teams elevated soccer’s visibility and impact. Today, packed stadiums, supporter culture, and expanding grassroots programs signal a game still growing, but firmly planted in the American landscape. This '70s design is about as cheesy as they come, and perfect for a soccer mom wanting to embarrass her kids field side.
Description: During the 1950s, cross-country bus travel entered its so-called “Golden Age,” fueled by postwar optimism and a growing desire to see America. Buses symbolized freedom and adventure while offering an affordable alternative to trains and planes. The era was marked by the debut of the 1954 PD-4501 Scenicruiser, a groundbreaking design with a two-level body, raised rear observation deck, and gleaming aluminum exterior. To compete with rising car ownership, buses featured then-luxurious amenities such as air conditioning, restrooms, panoramic windows, and air suspension for a smoother ride. Passengers often traveled in formal attire, and routes linked more than 15,000 towns, with meal stops at dedicated roadside post houses.
Description: The redesigned 1980 Astro was a bold Class 8 cab-over-engine truck designed for serious long-haul work and maximum efficiency. With its flat-front cab, the Astro offered excellent visibility and a shorter overall length, allowing more trailer space while meeting strict length regulations. Powered by big diesel powerplants like the 8V71, 3406, or N and K, it was built for durability and heavy loads. Its spacious cab, sleeper configurations, and distinctive futuristic styling made the Astro a standout on American highways, and was a favorite among drivers. Nonetheless, the Astro was discontinued in 1987, ending a run that began back in 1969.
Description: California surfing is a cornerstone of the state’s coastal identity, blending natural beauty, athleticism, and laid-back culture. From the cold, powerful breaks of Northern California to the sunlit point waves of Malibu and the reef passes of San Diego, the coastline offers year-round variety.

Today, California remains a global surf hub, where tradition and innovation meet in the rhythm of the Pacific. This California Surf Warrior tee is a classic souvenir style design is that so bad that it's good. You dig?
Description: Brownie Mary, born Mary Jane Rathbun, was a beloved San Francisco activist whose compassion reshaped attitudes during the early AIDS crisis. She began baking cannabis-infused brownies in the '70s, and when she learned that they helped AIDS patients regain appetite, ease pain, and restore dignity at a time when fear and stigma were rampant, she became an unexpected ally of the gay community. Repeatedly arrested but widely supported, Brownie Mary became a symbol of grassroots care, civil disobedience, and medical cannabis advocacy. This design came about after the City of San Francisco raided her apartment in 1981, and she was briefly jailed. Her work helped pave the way for compassionate-use and cemented her legacy as a quiet LGBTQ hero.
Description: Released in 1986, Enduro Racer is a fast-paced arcade motocross game that helped define off-road racing games of the era. Players race a dirt bike through rugged outdoor courses filled with hills, jumps, and tight turns, battling both the clock and rival riders. The game stood out for its sense of speed, smooth sprite scaling, and pseudo-3D perspective, which created a thrilling illusion of depth and motion. It was available in two arcade cabinet versions: a stand-up cabinet with handlebars and a full-sized ride on dirt bike cabinet. It is often seen as a dirt racing version of Hang-On, as it uses a similar engine and PCB. With catchy music, responsive controls, and adrenaline-driven game play, Enduro Racer became a hot ticket in arcades.
Description: House is a cult-classic horror-comedy that blends supernatural scares with dark humor and surreal fantasy. The film follows an author who moves into his late aunt's seemingly haunted house. His personal trauma manifests as grotesque creatures, shifting realities, and nightmarish visions, and is forced to deal with supernatural phenomenon, all while he tries to solve the mystery of his son's disappearance. Rather than relying solely on traditional horror, House mixes inventive practical effects, cartoonish monsters, and emotional undertones about grief and guilt. Its offbeat tone and imaginative set helped it stand out and earn lasting cult appeal. This design is based on the Japanese version, which was marketed as ガバリン, or 'Gabarin.'
Description: Montana’s participation in the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976 celebrated both the nation’s 200th anniversary and the state’s distinct frontier heritage. Communities across Montana hosted parades, rodeos, historical reenactments, and museum exhibits that highlighted Native American history, early explorers, mining towns, and homesteading life. Restoration projects preserved landmarks and main streets, while schools and civic groups emphasized local history and pride. The celebrations tied Montana’s wide-open landscapes and independent spirit to the broader ideals of the United States Bicentennial, honoring the past while looking toward the future.

Despite playing a pious missionary who claims devotion to faith and family, he's shown to be quite hypocritical, and a frequent sinner, including adultery and money laundering. In his TV commercials, Devoted Dan cite's James 1:17 in selling cars, stating that "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above." This design is based on a promotion tee one might receive from Dan himself after purchasing one of his fine vehicles.
Description: Introduced in 1948, the 356 was one of Germany's first production sports cars and the foundation of a lasting legacy. It featured a lightweight body, rear-engine layout, and precise handling that made it both nimble and reliable. Early models used air-cooled flat-four engines, but the 356 evolved into more powerful and refined versions. Its success in road racing and rallies helped establish it as a serious performance car, and today the 356 is prized by collectors for its elegant shape, mechanical simplicity, and historic importance.

Description: Phantom of the Paradise is a 1974 rock-opera film that blends horror, satire, and glam-era music into a dark retelling of Phantom of the Opera and Faust. The film follows a gifted composer whose work is stolen by a manipulative producer, leading to a disfiguring accident and a pact that traps him in a grotesque quest for revenge. With flamboyant visuals, sharp industry parody, and a genre-hopping score, the movie critiques fame, exploitation, and the cost of selling one’s soul for success, earning lasting cult status for its bold style and tragic romance. Despite, or because of, its tonal shifts and genre-bending, it failed at the box office, however, it eventually developed a dedicated cult following that last to this day.
Description: Endangered species are plants and animals whose populations have fallen so low that they face a high risk of extinction. Habitat loss, climate change, pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation from hunting or fishing are among the leading causes of their decline. When a species disappears, it can disrupt entire ecosystems, affecting food chains, soil health, and water quality. Conservation efforts such as protected areas, wildlife laws, habitat restoration, and captive breeding programs aim to slow or reverse these losses. Protecting endangered species also helps preserve biodiversity, which is essential for resilient ecosystems. This '90s style design features endangered species circling the earth in an era specific cartoon style.
Description: Crude Buster is a 1990 arcade beat ’em up developed by Data East, known in Japan as Two Crude.

Players battle gangs, mutants, and rogue soldiers across city ruins and enemy bases using punches, kicks, grapples, and improvised weapons like pipes, bombs, and even enemy bodies to clear screens. With its exaggerated action, colorful comic-book style, and cooperative two-player gameplay, Crude Buster became a cult favorite in arcades.
Description: Silk Road Anonymous Marketplace on was an online bazaar that launched in 2011 and resided on the dark web. Designed to operate beyond traditional jurisdictions and law enforcement, it functioned like an e-commerce site with vendor ratings and escrow payments, and used anonymity tools and cryptocurrency to enable anonymous transactions. Silk Road offered an array of both legal and illegal goods, and while some users framed it as a libertarian experiment in free markets, authorities viewed it as a major criminal enterprise. In 2013, the FBI shut the site down and arrested its founder, Ross Ulbricht, marking a turning point in efforts to police hidden online networks and prompting new debates about privacy, crime, and digital currencies.

The film kicks off as a fictionalized version of Chetwynd-Hayes is approached on a city street by a strange man who turns out to be a starving vampire named Erasmus. He bites the writer, and in gratitude for the small "donation", takes his (basically unharmed but bewildered) victim to the titular club, which is a covert gathering place for a multitude of supernatural creatures. In between the club's unique music and dance performances, Erasmus introduces three stories about his fellow creatures of the night, kicking off the anthology. Despite having the makings of a hit, the movie was a critical and commercial failure.
Description: The Vikings were seafaring peoples from Scandinavia who, between about 800 and 1100 CE, explored, traded, raided, and settled across much of Europe and the North Atlantic. Skilled shipbuilders, they used longships to travel rivers and open seas, reaching as far as Byzantium and North America. While often remembered for raids, Vikings were also farmers, merchants, and craftsmen who formed towns and trade networks. Their culture valued honor, storytelling, and law, and they left lasting impacts on language, place names, and political boundaries throughout the regions they touched.
Description: The Makaha International Surfing Championships were first held in 1954 in the beach town of Makaha on Oahu’s west side. At the foot of Mount Ka'ala on a January morning, surfers paddled out one by one to take on some of Hawaii's biggest waves in what was recognized as the world's first major international surfing competition. The event put Makaha on the map as the birthplace of big-wave surfing, and for nearly two decades until it ended in 1974, the Makaha International was the most prestigious prize in the sport.
Description: Nancy's Place was a tavern founded in 1980 by Nancy Kokkins in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Known to most simply as 'Miss Nancy,' she was a beloved mother figure to the many working class patrons that frequented her bar, a place she referred to as "the working man's tavern." This design is based on a shirt sold at Nancy's Place during its 22-year run, and features a couple of muscular men lugging a healthy pair of breasts, Atlas Shrugged style. Word has it that these mammaries were based on Miss Nancy's own ample assets, but sadly, the accuracy of that claim has been lost to the sands of time.
Description: On April 12, 1981, America launched STS-1, the inaugural flight of the Space Shuttle program, using the orbiter Columbia. Crewed by commander John Young and pilot Robert Crippen, it was the first time in years that a new American spacecraft carried astronauts on a maiden test voyage. The mission lasted approximately 54 hours, during which Columbia completed 36 orbits to prove the concept of a winged, reusable spacecraft. Despite sustaining minor thermal tile damage from launch overpressure, the orbiter successfully landed like a glider at Edwards AFB on April 14. This historic triumph ended a six-year hiatus in U.S. crewed spaceflight.
Description: Betty and Lee's Steak House was opened by serial restaurateurs Betty and Lee Quinet in 1954 at 4020 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, and quickly became known as THE place to go for a great steak dinner in the Bay Area. Billing themselves as the place "where steak is king," in addition to charcoal grilled steaks, Betty and Lee's had one of the area's first salad bars, as well as a 'bountiful buffet' that ran from 5pm to midnight every day, and a 100-person banquet room that became popular with civic groups and local businesses. The real showstopper, however, was a 72 oz. steak that was on the house if you could finish it, a feat that was never accomplished despite many attempts.
Description: New York City in the 1980s was defined by a severe crime wave, fueled by the crack epidemic, economic decline, and poverty, leading to high rates of murder, robbery, and gang violence that made daily life dangerous, especially in the subways and certain neighborhoods, though police and community efforts later emerged to combat the crisis. This Brooklyn design one is a tongue in cheek tourist tee from the '80s that's been brought back for another round. Today, Brooklyn is a much safer place than it used to be, but crime is still a major concern, especially in certain neighborhoods, but that doesn't mean those who live there don't go hard... keep your head on a swivel!
Description: "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is a declaration of setting boundaries and ceasing people-pleasing behavior, often after feeling taken advantage of. It's also the title of a classic rock song and a self-help book about men overcoming the "Nice Guy Syndrome" of neglecting their own needs for approval. It signifies a shift from being overly accommodating to asserting oneself and prioritizing personal needs, reflecting a refusal to be a doormat any longer. Pairing statements like "No More Mr. Nice Guy" with random cartoon characters was a trend in the '80s, and this crankosaurus rex is bringing it back with all the attitude that made it work!

This style gave the world legends like Louis Armstrong and helped shape swing, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, making New Orleans not just a birthplace of jazz, but a lasting heartbeat of American music.
Description: The Four Winds echo through many cultures as ancient forces of change and awakening. In the Book of Daniel, they stir the Great Sea, signaling the rise and fall of kingdoms. In ancient Mesopotamia, the Winds were living powers, not just directions, guiding fate and shaping cities and stars. For seekers of deeper awareness, the Four Winds can be felt as moving currents of consciousness, carrying the mind beyond ordinary limits. In sacred, supportive spaces, expanded states of perception may reveal hidden pathways of insight. And for the devoted traveler, there comes a moment—real or imagined—when one stands before the Totem of the Four Winds and learns to dream in every direction.
Description: KEZY 1190 AM was an Orange County radio station that went on the air in 1959 with just 1,000 watts of power.

In the late '50s, the station's power increased to 5,000 watts, and became known as "The Mighty 1190" for its ability to maintain a small but loyal following in a highly competitive market despite its low power. In the late '60s, KEZY moved to a larger studio complex in Anaheim and switched to a top-40/pop/rock format, and became the station Orange County teens tuned in to well into the 70s. As FM radio became increasingly more mainstream in the late '70s, the KEZY calls would migrate.

The phrase encapsulated the goal of extending Earth Day's impact beyond a single day, inspiring ongoing activism and programs to not only help protect the earth, but to work to improve the planet and our environment.
Description: Despite what the name might imply, Mustache Junction wasn't a gay bar. As a matter of fact, it was actually a traditional barber shop. Located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mustache Junction opened their doors in the late '70s and was still kicking well into the 2010s. A true classic barbershop, Mustache Junction offered a variety of services, including haircuts, shaves, and of course, beard and mustache trims.
Description: USA-1 is a legendary monster truck that debuted in the early '80s and is known for its patriotic paint job and rivalry with other trucks. It was built by Everett Jasmer, then owner of Off-Road Specialties in St. Cloud, Minnesota, as a promotional tool for his shop. USA-1 is known as one of the “original four” or “founding father” monster trucks. The truck was extremely powerful, and as such, was a top contender in TNT' Motorsport's popular monster truck racing series where it became a fan favorite. In 1988, the truck's factory sponsor wanted Jasmer to build a new truck, and he went to work on a brand-new late model build. That same year, the new truck won the TNT Monster Truck Challenge Championship, only adding to USA-1's reputation.
Description: Bradley's Big Buy was an independent grocery store that first opened its doors in 1957. Located in Palmetto, Georgia, a small town with a population just under 5,000, Bradley's was the town's only grocery store for many years. The store maintained its small town charm with personalized service from people who knew your name and hand painted specials on butcher paper in the windows for decades, but all good things come to an end. The store was hanging on by a thread, and in 2015, location scouts found Bradley's Big Buy to be the perfect setting for an '80s era grocery store in a fictional town in Indiana that had more than it's share of issues.
Description: Not much is known about the fictional serial killer known as 'The Grabber' from the Black Phone horror films, but what we do know is that he lives with his drug addict brother in a Denver suburb and has a day job. Totally unbeknownst to his brother, The Grabber imprisons his victims in the basement of his house, eventually killing them and burying the bodies in the basement of a residence across the street that he also owns. Thought he denies it, he seems to be able to hear the black phone in the basement, something that may explain how he is able to return from the dead as an evil spirit or even demon to continue his bloody work from beyond the grave.
