This 1980s German crest tee is basically a guided tour of West Germany across your chest. Featuring iconic state and city crests from Berlin, Bayern, Bremen, Hessen, Saarland, and the ever-proud Nordrhein-Westfalen, it’s a wearable map for people who respect regional identity and comfortable cotton.
In 1980s West Germany, crest tees like this were the height of gift shop fashion. They weren’t ironic. They were serious, screen printed symbols of heritage and maybe a few liters of beer. Each shirt came with a lion, an eagle, or at least one unpronounceable region.
Soft, broken in, and suspiciously patriotic, this shirt pairs well with a pretzel, a stein, and vague memories of a school trip to Bonn.
Ideal for vintage collectors, Europhiles, or anyone who wants to look like they inherited a wardrobe from a proud uncle.
