Get Your Wordstar On With These "Abandon Wear" Shirts


Update: site isn’t loading for me a couple days later. My guess? Cease and desist.

If you lived through the 80s, you’ll probably want to check out this line of shirts. I mean, there’s no shortage of logo or retro T-shirts, but how often is it you see an Accolade one, or NeXT?

I kind of wish this “Abandon Wear” line had a little more of the actual Abandonware I love so much: X-COM, Syndicate, Captain Keen, Blake Stone… all the gems from the 80s and early 90s. There’s no shortage of great logos and graphics there. But! This Abandon Wear is more focused on companies from that era: Compuserve, Aldus, Tandy… you may have forgotten them briefly, but you’ll remember them all right.

My favorites? NeXT is pretty sweet, Wordstar is looking good (but why “creme”?), Accolade of course, Delphine will get you some high fives, and this BASF floppy graphic is great.

All the shirts are $25, printed using the RedBubble shirt printing service, on American Apparel Tees. Anything less would be uncivilized.
