The Terminator Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 (T-800) T-shirts

Three Terminator T-shirts featuring T-800 Cyborg

It's only a couple of months until Halloween (how time flies as you get older!) and I thought I'd inspire you with an 80s T-shirt idea that you can wear.

Skynet's first cybernetic organism was the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 (or T-800), and as an endoskeleton makes the perfect choice for a Halloween or horror T-shirt theme. In the first movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course, plays the role of the cyborg antagonist, who's sole mission is to terminate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton).

The first two movies were truly jaw-dropping back in the day, and remain my two favourite sci-fi movies of all time. So let's take a look at some of the best T-800 designs that are worthy of being worn to celebrate these iconic movies by the legendary James Cameron.

From the U.S.? Check out my Terminator T-shirt ideas at 80sFashion.clothing.

The Terminator 1984 80s Triangle Graphic T-shirt

 

My top choice is this so very 80s themed The Terminator T-shirt. This is an awesome design, but it unfortunately only comes in 3XL for some reason! However, you may like the one underneath which is also very 80s with the triangle graphics, and the T-800 looks even more menacing on this one. I also like the use of the original red 1984 movie logo. It's available in sizes from small to XXL for men. 

The Terminator T-800 Long Sleeve T-shirt, Black

 

My next choice is this dramatic The Terminator long sleeve unisex shirt (which is officially licensed) featuring the head of a Model 101 and the 1984 movie logo. It's available in sizes from small to 2XL, although it only comes in black, but this is, of course, the ideal colour for a horror theme and allows the graphic to really stand out. It's available on the Terminator store at Amazon.co.uk.

The Terminator T-800 Cyborg Head T-shirt

 

This design is also available on this short sleeved T-shirt which is available for men, women and children in sizes up to 3XL. Once again, you can choose any colour so long as it's black! 

Women's Black V Neck T Shirt with T-800 Cyborg Face Graphic

 

There is also this women's V Neck T-shirt available from the same supplier on Amazon.

Terminator 2 Logo T-shirt with Arnold Schwarzenegger and T-800 Face

 

Just when I thought I'd found all the best designs, along comes this one! This features the Terminator 2 logo and a fantastic Arnie/Borg graphic revealing half of the T-800 and half of Arnie's face. It's very striking, but the sizes are limited to small and medium, sadly.

The Terminator 80s Sunset T-800 Graphic T-shirt, Welcome To The FutureT-800 Syberdyne Systems Model 101 Sunset T-shirt

 


These two designs are more 1980s sci-fi and less horror, but they look great and both are available from Cloud City 7, a very reputable supplier on Amazon who I have used many times. I really like the outrun sunset backdrop on both of these. 

The first one features the chilling message "Welcome to the Future" and is available in sizes from small to XXL for adults. 

The second one has the text "T-800 Cyberdyne Systemes Model 101) and comes in the same sizes for men. Guess what? Yep, they're both only available in black! 

Terminator No Fate T-800 T-shirt

 

Here we have another really eye-catching design on this No Fate Terminator Tee. The T-800's face is truly menacing on this one (don't have nightmares!) and comes in a big choice of sizes from small to 5XL for men. It's available from Cotton Cloud on Amazon.co.uk.

I'll leave you with some more great designs to have a gander at...

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

Kia-Ora 80s TV Advert - I'll be your dog!

Anyone who watched British TV during the 1980s (or went to the cinema) will remember the Kia-Ora crows advert featuring the slogan "I'll be your dog".  You may well remember the Kia-Ora drinks in plastic cartons which the usherette used to sell in the cinema. They also sold them in our local youth club, although sometimes it was Tip Top orange, which kind of tasted like the carton.  The advert itself was pretty bizarre but also a lot of fun. It featured a child wearing a straw sunhat and carrying his belongings over his shoulder, while walking in the hot sun carrying an empty glass. Suddenly, a dog appears from nowhere and tips Kia-Ora orange into his glass. The sun wrings itself out into the glass to top it up.  A crow is following the child and shouts "Kia-Ora!". The child replies "It's too orangey for crows, It's just for me and my dog." The crow replies "I'll be your dog!", and then starts barking. As they continue to walk, an

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
