We need time for things to happen.
I've seen the green one on the right before.
Yup the one on the left is definitely new....and now on my shopping list for late September.

But...they don't get, or don't want to admit, why foamers are buying the shirts.
Hint: It ain't a fashion thing.

Darn, the one area I'm still soft for spending money in the parks on merch, retro shirts, and they come out with more! I'm gonna need a few more hangers at this rate. :lol:

Or in regular men's sizes? They only come in obese or extra obese.

I usually get either a medium or large and don't generally have a hard time finding them. The shirts do "drape" on me a bit, but mediums are just a bit short (both sleeves and bottom edge) with my height so I have to go the large route.

Shrinking happens from the material. Anything that is 100% cotton is is almost definitely going to shrink if you put it in the dryer. I had a nice quality Ralph Lauren shirt that I accidentally put in the dryer once and was never able to put it on again.

I don't give a flying (blank) about retro tees.
Here's an idea, why not retro management? How about retro entertainment? Or retro attention to detail? Or just plain retro Disney quality.
They can take their tees and shove them ...
And that includes Orange Bird tees who only seem to be purchased by males between ages 14-24, who all have many key things in common!

We all know that isn't going to happen. At least the shirts remind me of a better time
Seriously though maybe The Fantasyland Expansion will be retro in the attention to detail category. It looks like it might.

EPCOT of old is the key!
You know it is quite sad as I read this post because you are 100% correct. I realize Epcot...EPCOT has had a bit of an identity crisis over the years (from a marketing and sales perspecitve) but if the park could revert to "retro" management, entertainment, etc. it would be a better place.
A few marketing concepts I was indirectly part of may or may not have included:
-Epcot '94
-Epcot '95
-EPCOT to Epcot
-Trying to implement festivals all year round such as the ill-fated Kite-based festival that never got off the ground after the first year! whoops...
-Exploratory concept of splitting Future World and World Showcase into two entities (non-gated shopping WS vs. gated theme park FW)
It is sad that the discovery (discovery as a real term not branding term) of Communicore is gone.
In my opinion I really think the entertainment offerings peaked right before the Epbots (sp?) were let go. Seems if I remember once they left there was a mass exit of many of the acts found around the park and replaced with guys drumming on garbage cans. I would take Future Corps over what they have now in a heartbeat.
Even though the technology is dated how fun would it be to make dining reservations via World Key or see a retro performance of "Mistake on the Lake?"
I almost feel embarrassed to be part of the upcoming anniversary seeing how the park is a mere shell of what it used to be.
Oh well...I will get off my soapbox now filled with SMRT-1 parts....
