80s Grifter Bike T-shirts

If you had a BMX or a 'Grifter' as a kid back in the 1980s, you'd know that they were the only choice when it came to bikes.

You 80s kids will remember the sounds of the Raleigh Wildcat - not only would this thing scare the **** out of unaware pedestrians but it wasn't too bad on the rough stuff also. I remember a kid next door to me had one back in 1988 - I wouldn't have minded one, I had a red BMX but I haven't got any photos to make a T-shirt - if I did, I would.

The Wildcat was a cool bike and seems like a little gem to own an old one today. Here are a couple of tribute T-shirts...

Perhaps you remember the Raleigh Vektar? That bike was like a stealth bomber in black - more gizmos than the Wildcat and it even had a radio! We haven't forgotten about this one, so watch this space for a T-shirt soon.


RETRO BURNER BIKE T-SHIRT

When you eventually grew out of pretending to be Knight Rider as a kid then the Raleigh Burner was the bike to step up to. There are many pictures of these online where folks have kept them in beautiful condition and look irresistable for a ride. This is the Burner in our favourite colour scheme.

The Return Of Manta Force - New T-shirts

Everyone remembers their favourite toys as a kid. Some might have been popular, some not so. Some toys that first came out when you were a kid may have spawned into legendary status - Star Wars, the Turtles, Thundercats - but one of our personal favourites has gone off the radar for many years...the Multiple Air Naval Terrain Assault Force, aka 'Manta Force'.

A force of space soldiers (all ranked by their full-body coloured space suits) were sent into the galaxy from a polluted, over-populated planet Earth in order to find a new planet to inhabit. They travelled in a state-of-the-art, self sufficient super vessel that carried a fleet of air, land and sea vehicles to aid them in their quest.

However, hell-bent on stopping Manta Force in their multiple vehicle's tracks and driven to inhabit New Earth for themselves was the Viper Squad - travelling in their own super ship Red Venom - itself equipped with incredibly versatile all-terrain vehicles.

Many of the Manta Force soldiers did not survive the onslaught. Those who did survive went on to face their demise by 1980s Electrolux vacuum cleaners or were swallowed by toddlers. Well, while searching through our old toy box, right at the bottom still in his white space suit (low ranked), we found a Manta Force veteran.

To celebrate his survival we have made a set of Manta Force and Viper Squad space T-shirts - so you too can play the part of those great space soldiers.

Wales Rugby Slogan Competition WINNERS!

Thanks to everyone who entered our Wales Rugby slogan competition!

We had some weird and wonderful entries - some funny, some passionate, some patriotic and of course some entirely inappropriate(but still good).

We had a hard job picking the winners, but we thought the 3 winning slogans summed up Wales' heroic Rugby World Cup performance nicely and with a bit of Welsh humour. The 3 lucky winners will be receiving each a free T-shirt printed with their slogan.

See the winning slogans below.

"They TRYed, they fought, Wales will be back!!!"

This winning design was submitted by Jade Roberts (@JadeRoberts0311), with the help of her Mum Angela Roberts. A nice play on words and we agree that Wales WILL be back and well on form. We'll see some heavy Welsh rugby action soon enough in the Six Nations next year.


"Winner, winner, lamb dinner."

This winning design was submitted by Carys Dudley-Jones (@CarinoCarys). Ok, Wales didn't win the Rugby World cup but they won enough games to get into the semis and once again they won the hearts of a great nation. Welsh lamb is delicious by the way, with mint sauce.




"Never give up, never surrender!"

This winning design was submitted by Tom Sanders (@CardiffCroupier). The Welsh team are strong, and this sums up their spirit. Wales did not give up against France in the semis, even with 14 men they pushed harder than ever - and kept the pressure on well over the full time mark. This slogan also goes for all the Wales rugby fans out there.




These T-shirts are so good we're going to put them on the Spicetag website soon to share with all you other fans, thanks to the kind permission of our winners.




There'll be more opportunities to win T-shirts in the future, so stay tuned....

In Wales, Everyone Is Screaming...

Here is a T-shirt celebrating the distance Wales have got to in the Rugby World Cup 2011. The design is based on the 1992 film poster for Alien 3, swapping the alien for the Welsh Red Dragon, and a play on the famous words "In space no one can hear you scream."


IN WALES EVERYONE IS SCREAMING

Available for both boys and girls, view the T-shirt at the site here.

We're right behind the Wales rugby team. If you've got any T-shirt designs dedicated to Welsh rugby, feel free to send them to us and they may be featured on the Spicetag website.

Bringing It Home To Wales

Wales are in the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand.

The two-time Six Nations grand-slam winners are looking to bring the most sort after title in international rugby home to their native soil and have the strong backing of an entire nation.

As Spicetag is a Welsh company, we're giving them our full support and we found it obligatory to create a T-shirt to show this.

The golden daffodil is a famous Welsh symbol and we're hoping that the Welsh team make the Rugby World Cup trophy just as signified with Wales. Available for both boys and girls, view the 'Bringing It Home To Wales' T-shirt at the website here.


If you've got any T-shirt designs dedicated to Welsh rugby, feel free to send them to us and they may be featured on the Spicetag website.


All the best in the semi final, Wales.
