80s Cartoon Heroes T-shirts


Man, Woman and Child wearing 80s cartoon characters T-shirts

If, like myself, you grew up in the 1980s, then you'll know just how awesome the cartoons were. You can remind yourself of those care-free times with this very popular 80s Cartoon Heroes T-shirt for men, which is available in a choice of colours and sizes from Amazon.co.uk.



The T-shirt features the main characters from many of the best toons, including Optimus Prime from Transformers (Robots in Disguise), Lion-O from Thundercats, He-Man and Skeletor from Masters of the Universe, The Real Ghostbusters, Dangermouse, Count Duckula and Donatello and Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I really like the unique design (which is unofficial fan art) and the characters nicely set out with Optimus Prime towering over them - it particularly looks good on the blue tee. Grey and white are also available from sizes Small to XXL. Not only is this shirt highly rated by customers, but it's also one of the bestsellers on my website Simplyeighties.com.


So which was your favourite cartoon? I preferred the British quirkiness of Dangermouse, which, of course, featured the voices of David Jason and Terry Scott (Penfold). 

However, when it came to the toys, then Transformers were definitely the most interesting to play with and the most awesome to collect. They were just so cleverly designed, and they also made you very popular in the school playground, for sure. These days, Bumblebee appears to be the most popular, but back in he 80s, Optimus Prime (which turned from a red and blue truck into to a robot) and the mighty Megatron (both of which are highly collectible) were probably the ones every kid wanted, but probably never got!

MASK T-shirt for Men

You may well remember watching the Mobile Armoured Strike Command task force taking on the evil V.E.N.O.M. in the MASK cartoon series. Armoured vehicles and masks with super powers featured in this action-packed cartoon, and there were two series which first aired in 1985. This MASK T-shirt is an awesome choice for paying homage to the cartoon.

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

An 80s Tennis Player Costume? You Cannot Be Serious!

While most people opt for a pop star theme when dressing up for an 80s party or event, one option that is a little more original is to dress like an 80s tennis player. The costumes I'm about to show are obviously based on John McEnroe, and I'm dead serious! The short-tempered tennis star became infamous for his confrontational behaviour towards the umpire during the 1980s, screaming "Answer my question! The question, jerk!" (when he angrily threw his racket at the juice cart) and "You can't be serious man, you cannot be serious!" when he thought the umpire had made a bad call about the ball being out. He was often booed by the crowds for his rants, but it was hugely entertaining to watch! Embed from Getty Images The look above is the one you should aim for, and this is the most iconic. So let's take a look at the fancy dress costume options available...   The white T-shirt and shorts outfit with red and blue stripes is based on McEnroe&

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had  yellow whistles . In the early 90s,  white overalls , hooded anoracks and  yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
