Retro T-Shirts & Hoodies

Retro Shirts for Everyone Who Had to Rewind

A retro shirt is more than a design with a bit of patina. It brings back arcades, video rental stores and afternoons when the TV still had a tube. Our Retro collection holds around 740 designs that capture exactly that look, from chunky pixel art and synthwave sunsets to motifs with a faded vintage print. They are created by independent artists such as Astrobot Invention, TURBORAT, Dr. Monekers and edsonramos. Their name appears on every product, and they earn a commission on every sale.

Retro Gaming, Video Stores and Synthwave

Designs for old school gamers are especially popular. A retro gaming t-shirt with pixel heroes, arcade cabinets or a high score screen hits home for anyone who once fed their pocket money into coin slots. Movie fans get their share too, with designs inspired by old cinema posters and rental tape covers.

• Pixel art and arcade: 8-bit charm, joysticks and blinking insert coin lettering
• Synthwave: neon grids, palm trees and sunsets in pink and purple
• Video store nostalgia: tape cases, late fee humour and vintage movie posters
• Made in the 80s: designs for everyone proud of their year of manufacture

Neon colours and synthwave gradients glow brightest on black and navy, while pixel designs with crisp edges also look great on white. Available colours depend on the individual design.

Vintage Look, Modern Quality

The design can look old, the shirt should not. Every piece is printed in Germany with DTG printing only after you order. The ink goes straight into the fabric, so even fine pixel grids and soft gradients are possible. The print is then cured and holds up through many washes. The fabric is 100% organic cotton at 180 g/m². Wash your shirt inside out at 30 °C and iron it inside out, so the retro look stays intentional rather than washed out.

T-shirts start at €19.99, sweatshirts at €34.99 and hoodies at €39.99. Men's and women's cuts run from S to 2XL, unisex sizes from 3XL to 5XL. Paired with a denim jacket and white sneakers, any of these vintage gaming shirts makes an outfit that works at every 80s party.
