Design of the Week: Rolling Along with RollerBall!
Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...we go back to the future with a design for roller hockey or roller derby players, and roller skaters, rollerbladers, or skateboarders from the 1975 version of RollerBall!
It's a copy of an on-set poster from the Tokyo-Houston match, featuring the "computer" font popular in the 1970s and a kool high-contrast graphic featuring a pair of players/combatants.
It really pops on dark t-shirts, sweats, or hoodies! (Also available on iPad / messenger bags, gym bags, and mugs!)
Shred, style, and thrash like it's 2018!

YouTube Wednesday: THE GREEN HORNET "Crime Wave"
If the videos don't work, click HERE!
It's a 1960s version of cybercrime as The Green Hornet faces a computer that can predict his crimes in "Crime Wave", the fourth broadcast episode! (A neat trick since The Hornet is just pretending to be a criminal!)
There's double-crossing, a couple of elaborately-planned robberies, and the first all-out fight scene in the series as The Hornet and Kato take on several foes at once!
We also get to see The Black Beauty's built-in gas-guns in operation for the first time!
Side notes:
Despite being computer whizzes, the criminals in this episode can't construct a pistol-sized gas gun like The Hornet carries and have to lug a huge canister of knockout gas around with them!
There's a costume party scene where a number of costumes contain elements (helmets, tunics, sidearms) from various Irwin Allen shows (Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea)
