A pair of Chicago baseball tees. 

North Side vs. South Side? 

Cubs vs. Sox? 

I don't really care much either way to be honest. Never been a huge baseball guy. And outside of the Cubbies big year in 2016 I have not seen a game in decades. 

But I do love vintage tees and both of these are great.  

 "Winning Ugly" White Sox Tee (1983) 

and

Doyle Lade (Cubs Pitcher) Memorial Tee (2000)

 Both shirts found at Parks Vintage in Westmont Illinois.

Since you asked - I must chime in. The first shirt is great. The second one should be returned if you can help it. 

Though I hail from the western suburbs of Chicago and am not a native north or south sider, and though I am not much one for sportsball in any respect (again, having grown up on a skateboard and running in the woods), it easy to know that the White Sox are the only legitimate baseball institution in Chicago. They are currently - of course - quite a cursed and terrible team with ownership and management that shows they do not respect the institution that they steward. But the Cubs are guys that happen to play on a field that happens to be in the middle of a bunch of afternoon drinking entertainment, and will remain so regardless. They will remain profitable no matter the quality of the team. For a tough minded, business focused town, they are the antithesis of such values. Indeed - look closely enough and the Cubs can be seen to embody everything problematic with Chicago. There’s also the theory that the cosmic price to the Cubs 2016 World Series win was the 2016 presidential election. Not a worthwhile price to pay in my estimation. And the 2005 White Sox would have wiped the floor with the 2016 Cubs.

(My wife is a northsider who disagrees, but we make it work. It’s one of the only things she is wrong about)

I will do.. i'm wearing one now, it's really lovely!

I need a day or two of wear to form an opinion beyond first impressions.

Vintage Single Stitch 1970s Daytona Speedway T Shirt

100% Cotton, Made in U.S.A. Tagged XL but has shrunk up nicely. Paint stain on back. 

PERFECT graphic. Simple type. Primary colors. 

This one really reminded me of these childhood PJs I once had ( which makes sense given they were both made in the same decade. ) Included picture is from about 1978 or 1979 with my younger brother in blue. 

After a little digging I discovered the image comes from the 1976 Daytona 500 where both lead cars would famously crash right at the finish. Seems likely they may have used multiple source photos to create the graphic.

Y'all know what day it is, yeah? 

To celebrate I'm wearing my perfectly faded paper thin single stitch vintage Star Wars promo tee from 1977. 

It was a gift from my son and it's so old and radical I usually have it hanging up on display like the fine art it is but today it gets worn.

Had zero work on earlier in the year.. 6wks without a single job..eek!  so i re-roofed and repaired a log cabin for my mums friend, guttering, double glazing, irrigation system, water butts and so on.. it was during the first 30° heatwave.. i was slapping on the factor 50 hence the brown neckline.

This was a 'clean' Gildan tee at the end of day1
