Older WDW T-shirts

nelsonj3 · Jul 25, 2006

Does anyone know any websites that list or sell older WDW T-shirts? I've looked on Ebay a few times, but it is hard to sift through the search results to find specifically theme park t-shirts.

I'm specifically interested in older Epcot t-shirts. Does anyone know what types of shirts were available? Were there shirts for individual attractions... i.e. a Horizons t-shirt or a Spaceship Earth t-shirt?

I know this is a strange question, but I'm sure there's someone out there who knows something about this.

Thanks!! :wave:

The way I sift throught the "new" Epcot versus "old" EPCOT stuff on eBay is to search for the term "EPCOT Center" rather than just "EPCOT." Since they dropped the "center" around 1994 or so, anything that says Epcot Center is older merchandise.

Also, look on cafepress.com and zazzle.com -- a lot of people have made new shirts that feature the old logos and such.

I would recommend using ebay - and use any of these queries: "epcot shirt" "epcot center shirt", "epcot vintage shirt", "epcot vintage", etc...

The first 3 will produce relatively short lists. Searching ebay using "epcot -pin -pins" usually produces a list that is around 5 pages which is pretty managable.

There are/ were a bunch of shirts that have a picture on SSE on the shirt but I do not recall any Horizon shirts.

I am big fan of wearing my older disney shirts when I go to the parks.

I still have my "Tencennial" shirt!:sohappy:

i have the blue EPCOT CENTER SSE tshirt that resembles the original poster outside the attraction. on the bottom of the design, below the logo for the park, it has the year printed next to the copyright (1982)

true classic. i only wear it once a year. :lol:

You're def. not alone, I search weekly for vintage Epcot shirts. I also use the "epcot -pin -pins" search, as well as vintage epcot, retro epcot, old epcot, and epcot center (although some people still to this day refer to it as epcot CENTER, which drives me nuts.) Unfortunately, I don't know any other place to search for old shirts online.
Good luck!

Wow! That sounds like an awesome shirt! Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I'll try those ebay queries. I didn't know about the minus option. I've never used that before, but it makes sense.

nelsonj3 · Jul 25, 2006

Here's an ebay store I just found using some of the queries above:
www.fsgoriginals.com

They specialize in making vintage looking WDW t-shirts. Some of them are great... like the TTA t-shirt that says "Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow. Your Party From Saturn Has Arrived. Please Give Them a Ring."
Check it out!

My dad used to have that shirt, but he got rid of it! :fork: I find that one on eBay quite frequently. I search for "EPCOT Center" usually and find some good stuff.

yep it is. i accidentally bought one just like it on ebay a few years ago for a "back-up" and didnt look at the size and it is an XS....... so my kids will have a cool tee to wear.

They have new shirts but with old logos and other neat Disney stuff. I have several of their shirts, monorail "Por favor", etc. Quick delivery and pretty good quailty shirt.

There's one older shirt I still regret not buying. It was at Epcot and was a long sleeve, possibly a sweatshirt, with the old attraction symbols down the arms of it. This was around 2000 and I saw it in MouseGears. Was with a bunch of friends though and we were in a hurry so I didn't stop to buy it. I've never seen it anywhere since. I wonder if I just made it up in my head. :lookaroun

Old tshirts are a great idea but only if you have the body that went with them :cry:

Not if you buy them off eBay. :lookaroun

Thanks, Nelsonj3! That's my store. I have a lot of fun dreaming those up, and plenty more are on the way.

Great! I love looking at your new designs. Hopefully soon I can save up enough money (when I'm not saving up for Disney, which is basically never) to buy all the shirts I like from you (which is all of them).

No Problem! Glad I found it. I hope to buy a few shirts soon. I particularly love your Horizons shirts!!

Keep up the good work!
