95. Stussy

95 - Best Iconic T-Shirts

This streetwear brand got its start in 1980 by Shawn Stussy after he put his last name on t-shirts to promote his custom surfboards. Thirty-plus years later, the brand is still popular – just more mainstream and a tad less edgy.

94. Camouflage

94 - Best Iconic T-Shirts

Whether being used by the military on the battlefield, by hunters in the woods, or as part of a new trend on the fashion runway, the Camouflage t-shirt never seems to to go out of style.

93. Rainbow Brite

93 - Best Iconic T-Shirts

Isn’t she just adorable? A cartoon about psychedelic color kids, talking rainbow horses, and whatever Twink was. You don’t get much more ’80s than this. The t-shirt gained fame more from an ironic-teen movement than actual fandom.

92. Metallica

92 - Best Iconic T-Shirts

While Metallica is certainly a popular band in its own right, it was one of America’s most-iconic doofuses who made this t-shirt truly iconic. Or as Butt-Head might say, “Nice shirt Beavis. Uh huh huh huh.”

91. Cookie Monster

91 - Best Iconic T-Shirts

C is for COOKIE, that’s good enough for me. T is for T-SHIRT, iconic it will be. Born in 1966, Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster has been craving carbs for 46 years, with no end in sight.

90. Don’t Mess With Texas

90

From anti-littering campaign to unofficial state motto, “Don’t Mess with Texas” is proof that a great slogan can take on a life of it’s own. Commisioned by the Texas Department of Transportation, over the next 28 years the saying grew to near cult status.

89. Big Dogs

89

Founded in 1983, the Big Dogs brand of clothing became really BIG in the early ’90s with the release of their racy slogan t-shirts. Their first slogan “Man, these puppies are BIG” says it all. Ruff, ruff.

88. Anarchy symbol

What do black cats, wooden shoes, and safety pins have in common? ANARCHY. An evolving message since the turn of the century, the symbol became popular stateside through early 1970′s punk rock.

87. Choose Life

87

Worn by Wham! in its “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” video, the design was an early foray into social messaging on t-shirts. Designed by Katharine Hamnett to fight back against drug abuse and suicide, this & other Hamnett designs fused social issues and fashion.

82. Union Jack

82

The stripes of Great Britain gained popularity stateside via Brit bands such as The Sex Pistols and Def Leppard. Def Leppard’s Joe Eliot frequently donned the sleeveless tee in concert. The Union Jack shorts, however, did not catch on. And we can all be thankful for that.

81. Property of …

81

A classic case of function becomes fashion. USC printed “Property of USC” on their athletic t-shirts to prevent theft. Decades later, “Property of …” t-shirts are standard fare in most college bookstores, um, we mean websites.

80. Obey

80

Before finding meteoric fame during the 2008 Presidential Election, Shepard Fairey first became known as an iconic street artist. Originally a sticker campaign, his Obey Giant works blossomed into a full line of art and apparel.

78. Punisher Skull

78

77. KISS

77

Starchild, The Demon, Space Ace, and Catman. KISS has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and legitimized rocking out in platform shoes and leather.

76. Garth’s Aerosmith Shirt

76

The awkward, soft-spoken member of the dynamic dweeb duo on Wayne’s World gave Aerosmith an extra injection of popularity with this tee. Though Garth’s was probably a bit more faded and stain-ridden.

74

An east-coast favorite from the Outer Banks, NC, this drive-thru beer store has sold over 4 million colorful shirts since they opened in 1977 — each year releasing a unique one. And yes, we just said “drive-thru beer store.”

73. Bart Simpson

73

Don’t have a cow man. It’s just your favorite spiky haired troublemaker (the one and only) Bart Simpson, whose cartoon shirts were owned by just about every eleven year old in the 1990s.

72. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

72

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Turtles on the halfshell, turtle power!” How can you not love four butt-kicking turtles named Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael?

68

Hello, Japan. Hello, 1976. Hello, 5 billion dollar media empire. It’s Hello Kitty! Over the past 37 years, the Hello Kitty! brand has gone global with t-shirts and apparel a huge part of its success.

67. Alvin’s A

67

Not only are Alvin & The Chipmunks the world’s most prolific rodent singing group, they’re also the longest living. Alvin’s “A” shirt takes center stage on our list… Sorry Simon and Theodore.

66. Transformers – Autobots Logo

66

There’s something to robots from outer space that can turn into cars and trucks. And this Autobot logo t-shirt shows just why. From cartoon series to billion dollar movie blockbuster, these “robots in disguise” rock.

65. We Can Do It!

65

64. Led Zeppelin

64

Other than the Beatles, no rock band has made fans more ga ga than Led Zeppelin. The band’s logo for their Swan Song record label became just as iconic as frontman Robert Plant’s wails and lead guitarist Jimmy Page’s rhythmic riffs.

63. Lennon’s New York City

63

This shirt was bought from a street vendor for $5 shortly before the photoshoot of John Lennon that made it famous. Bob Gruen, the photographer wanted Lennon to show what being a New Yorker meant to him. Lennon then crossed his arms & said the pose was “his street stance.”

62. John Deere

62

The gold standard in tractors and farm equipment, John Deere has made the colors green & yellow their own with their iconic logo. Pair it with a shirt or a hat and boom, now everyone likes farming.

61. Jesus is My Homeboy

61

Inspiration for fashion photographer David LaChapelle’s Last Supper art exhibit, the Jesus is my Homeboy’s shirt is quite captivating. While LaChapelle is known for making the shirt famous, Van Zan Frater vows he is the shirt’s original creator.

60. Green Lantern

60

“In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!!!” -The Green Lantern Oath

59. French Connection United Kingdom (fcuk)

59

A global fashion retailer based in London, French Connection knew it hit marketing gold when they added the letters “UK” for the United Kingdom to the company letters “FC”. We know it’s controversial, but it sure is eye-catching.

58. Yo! MTV Raps

58

Remember when MTV had shows about music? “Yo! MTV Raps” ran from 1988 to 1995, but it’s pop art logo has stood the test of time.

57. Where’s the Beef?

57

Octogenarian Clara Peller had some major beef (or lack thereof) with the size of burger patties. You knew when a simple slogan rose to enter Presidential politics that Wendy’s was onto something.

56. Thundercats

56

Spaceships? Check. Cat-like humanoid aliens fighting interstellar battles? Check. Lion-O, Cheetara and the gang? Check. The Thundercats dominated Saturday Mornings from 1985 to 1989, and produced a sick logo t-shirt to boot. “Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ThunderCats, HO!”

55. Nirvana Smiley Face

55

Kurt Cobain and Nirvana took the historic “Have a Nice Day” smiley face seen on bumper stickers and t-shirts, and turned it into a grungeified logo for their merchandise. The rest is rock ’n’ roll t-shirt history.

54. Hello, My Name Is …

54

Now you don’t need a sticker to let strangers know who you are. You can just wear this handy t-shirt! This witty design is likely the brainchild of someone who’d suffered through one too many insurance seminars or self-help conferences.

53. Captain America

53

Lone white star. Blue bulls eye. Red and white rings. Step aside baseball, hot dogs, apple pie. This is what hard-core Americana should look like. This t-shirt remains one of the more powerful patriotic expressions to capture young minds.

52. Boston Red Sox

52

Yankees fans will squirm, but the Red Socks are a combination of cute and cool that mixed with their legendary underdog story, make this a shirt any fan would wear.

51. Rock the Vote

51

Started for the 1992 Presidential Campaign as a youth voter outreach program and to promote free speech, the Rock the Vote movement has had a huge impact on young voters.

50. The Flash

50

What could be cooler than a big ol’ shiny, gold lightning bolt on your chest? Uh, running at the speed of light, thank you very much.

49. Abbey Road

49

The Beatles final album cover showing John, Paul, George, and Ringo crossing Abbey Road has become a badge of Beatlemania, and when put on a t-shirt, you’ve got them all back together right on your chest.

48. The Godfather

48

From Mario Puzo’s critically-acclaimed novel to Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar-winning film, The Godfather has helped foster America’s fascination with the Mafia. Since then it’s become a cultural phenomenon, and the white title logo of Don Corleone on a black shirt makes it a very cool wearable movie poster.

47. Make 7 Up Yours

47

The front: Make 7. The back: Up Yours. This juvenile play on the “Un-Cola” slogan of the time (Make 7Up Yours) made this shirt good for a chuckle and a smile.

46. Bazinga!

46

In the winter, a t-shirt snug enough to keep warm and yet not so tight to cause perspiration. In the summer, light enough to catch the cross breeze from windows there and there. Sheldon Cooper’s comic genius immortalized in cotton.

45. adidas

45

A portmanteau of founder’s name Adi Dassler, ADIDAS was founded in Germany and went on to become one of the world’s foremost sporting brands. You can still believe it stands for All Day I Dream About Sports. We won’t tell anyone.

44. Save Ferris

44

“Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in awhile. You could miss it.” Ohhhh yeahhh.

43. Peace Frogs

43

Peace Frogs originally started as a company selling a line of multi-colored international flag shorts. The reason they adopted the frog logo was because the frog just so happens to be recognized as a symbol of peace and good luck.

42. Legends of the Hidden Temple

42

Over the moat and through the Steps of Knowledge, to Olmecs head we go! Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas. Green Monkeys, Orange Iguanas, Purple Parrots and Silver Snakes marked competitors on Nickelodeans Legends of the Hidden Temple.

41. Jack Daniels

41

The historic Tennessee Whiskey is not only good for drinking and BBQ marinades — it’s iconic label is pretty cool to wear on your chest too. A classic American brand that’s got a nose for merchandising.

40

Elegant. Tasteful. Classy. Three words never used to describe this immortal counterpart to the other famous faux apparel tee, the Tuxedo t-shirt.

39. Hypercolor

39

The Hypercolor T-shirt, created in the ‘80s, reaches its all-time peak selling more than $50 million worth of shirts in a four-month period.

38. Mud Smiley Face

38

For some reason, Forrest Gump decided to go for a little run. So he ran to the end of the Road. And when he got there, he thought he’d maybe run to the end of town. Eventually he ran into an ocean and had to turn around, but on the way he just happened to create one of the most iconic t-shirt designs, the Smiley Face T.

37. Three Wolves Howling at the Moon

37

The Meryl Streep of Amazon Reviews, this entry just keeps on giving. A delightful collection of absurd mock reviews catapulted this t-shirt into Internet fame and it remains a staple of t-shirt culture.

36. No Fear

36

Quite popular in the mid ’90s (during the rise of extreme sports), No Fear shirts show off catchy slogans about living life on the edge and defying death. Pair that with an sharp-eyed, intense logo and you had yourself quite the t-shirt trend.

35. CBGB

35

Open from 1973 to 2006, CBGB (Country, BlueGrass, and Blues) was a pillar of the New York City music scene. Located at 315 Bowery, the club hosted acts from Blondie to the Beastie Boys, The Misfits to Talking Heads. It is now a John Varvatos retail store.

34. Have a Nice Day

34

The road to iconic tee was a lot longer than Forrest’s run, starting in 1943 as a Swedish film promo and blossoming as the novelty brainchild of two guys from Philly as “Have a Happy Day” in 1972. Somehow “happy” later got switched to “nice.”

33. Lifeguard

33

The near-universal outfit for a lifeguard, this red shirt with a white cross (or white with red) can be seen being worn at beaches and pool facilities all across the U.S. Not to mention, there was this TV show called “Baywatch” …

32. The Ramones

32

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, punk rock founders, and not a single Ramone by birth among them. The Ramones influence on music history is steadfast, and their iconic logo makes our iconic t-shirt list.

31. Mickey Mouse

31

Following the popularity of Mickey Mouse, a Miami-based T-shirt company, Tropix Togs, purchases the exclusive rights to print the figure on a shirt. Emilio Estevez wore one in “The Outsiders” and, boom, it became cool.

30. Coca Cola

30

As one of the most recognizable brands in the world, it’s not surprising a Coca-Cola shirt made the list. With its script logo iconic in its own right, Coke has been able to spawn a collection of t-shirts around the world that never seem to go out of fashion.

29. I Want My MTV

29

32 years ago, television was like the town from Footloose; void of rock music and ’80s dancing. Enter: MTV. Over the past three decades MTV revolutionized the airwaves, creating an industry for everything from music videos to bus-based dating shows.

28. Harley Davidson

28

What once became synonymous with “Hell’s Angels” turned into a t-shirt for every man, symbolizing the freedom of the open road – on weekends of course, and as long as we’re back in time for dinner and to put the kids to bed.

27. James Dean’s Plain White Tee

27

You don’t always need a cause to make a fashion statement. In 1955 James Dean soared to iconic status in Rebel Without A Cause, rocking nothing more than a white shirt and leather jacket.

26. Peace Sign

26

All they were saying was “Give Peace a Chance.” And many continue to say it with a t-shirt to this day.

25. Keep Calm and Carry On

25

Designed in 1939 to raise British morale during WWII but not publicly displayed until rediscovery in 2000, Keep Calm and Carry On speaks to a new generation of beleaguered masses.

24. ARMY

24

Army follows the Navy by introducing the “Quarter Sleeve” shirt, keeping the boys in the Pacific theater cool in the tropical heat.

23. Charlie Brown

23

While it could be easy to argue that all of the Peanuts’ gang t-shirts are iconic, none has the impact of the jagged look that embodies the spirit and bum luck of Good Ol’ Charlie Brown.

22. Kiss Me I’m Irish

22

Popular on St. Patty’s Day, a promise of additional luck makes any Irishman or woman a true commodity.

21. I’m With Stupid

21

… and it was genius. The grandaddy of the directional T-shirt elicited a symphony of juvenile snickers at the expense of thousands of unsuspecting bystanders.

20. Grateful Dead

20

The psychedelic phenoms were also social media marketing pioneers, allowing fans to sell unofficial t-shirts outside their shows, as long as they used the official logo.

19. The Tie Dye Tee

19

Rit Dye, a core component in tie dye is being phased out. The manufacturer of the product launches a huge marketing blitz aimed at the free-spirited youth of the time, due to the psychedelic colors used in the dyeing process. It catches on with hippies around the U.S. and takes off.

18. … And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

18

As custom t-shirts gained popularity as destination-travel gifts, a humorous backlash developed in the form of this saying on t-shirts for nearly every spot imaginable.

17. Ghostbusters

17

“When there’s something strange in the neighborhood… Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!” Two movies, a couple animated TV series, and a bunch of video games later, the Ghostbusters franchise remains popular to this day. And when you stick their logo on t-shirts, it’s universally recognizable.

16. Bob Marley

16

A musical, national, and fashion icon all in one, Bob Marley is a superstar on our list. Selling 25 million copies world wide, responsible for bringing Rastafarianism and reggae to the mainstream, it’s only fitting that his image is immortal.

15. Just Do It – Nike

15

Advertising exec Dan Wieden credits his inspiration for this iconic advertising campaign to the final words of a convict before execution. Hey! If he can face the firing squad, you can definitely run that marathon.

14. Frankie Say Relax

14

To overrule censoring of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song “Relax,” in 1984, label owner Paul Morley prints “FRANKIE SAY RELAX” on T-shirts. It has become something of an graphical inspiration in recent years, with block letter tees becoming all the rage.

13. AC/DC

13

The ultimate Rock & Roll t-shirt. Bob Defrin & Gerard Huerta’s gothic A” and “C” lettertype split with that bold lightning bolt is visually captivating. Pair that with 7 Grammy nods and their 2003 induction into the R&R Hall of Fame and you’ve got your self an iconic band and tee all-in-one.

12. Che Guevara

12

A Marxist figure turned commercial fashion statement, there’s a degree of irony in this entry.

11. RUN DMC

11

Considered to be one of the most influential hip-hop groups in history, Run-D.M.C. started out performing a new type of rap music in the early 80s. Their innovative musical style helped them achieve fame early, and were the first hip-hop group to be nominated for a Grammy and achieve gold-album status. This block letter tee showing off their emblem is bold, memorable, and represents hip-hop in its original form.

10. Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon

10

Wear this entry, play the Wizard of Oz, and just… Woah, man. An iconic image for one of rock’s most emblematic albums, Pink Floyd inspires generations of listeners to try looking to the dark side.

9. D.A.R.E

9

In 1983, the International Drug Abuse Resistance Education program spread across the United States, providing free shirts, and what inadvertently has turned into sleepwear for an entire generation of schoolkids.

8. Tuxedo T-Shirt

8

The perfect mix of high and low, the tuxedo t-shirt is a timeless addition to any wardrobe. Pair with a fine wool slack for that special occasion, or jeans and chucks for the 80s alternative prom look.

7. Hard Rock Cafe

7

If you’ve done any traveling, you’ve probably seen someone wearing a Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirt at some point. Each Hard Rock Cafe, along with its vast array of music memorabilia typically sells a shirt with its city name in their gift shop. With over 100 restaurants having opened up all over the world, these shirts have become something of a collectible over the years.

6. Batman

6

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na, BATMAN!

5. Superman

5

The literal power of this phenomenon can be seen on t-shirts everywhere and with the seemingly endless television & movie remakes in nearly every decade of Superman’s existence, this story (and t-shirt design) isn’t getting old any time soon.

4. Rolling Stones “Lick”

4

Alternative album cover for one of the best rock albums of all time, The Rolling Stones’ “Lick” graphic from the Sticky Fingers LP quickly becomes one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most recognizable symbols.

3. COLLEGE

3

Providing comic relief in the film Animal House, John Belushi has become something of an icon for college guys everywhere based on his portrayal of oafy fraternity bro, Bluto. A poster of him wearing this shirt (really a sweater) can now be seen on dorm room walls across the country.

2. Vote for Pedro

2

Wildly popular after the cult hit movie Napoleon Dynamite was released in 2004, the Vote for Pedro shirt has since gained mass appeal. While it’s a relatively simple design on a white/black ringer tee, the movie created quite a visual imprint during Napoleon’s famous dance scene.

1. I ♥ NY

1

In an almost eureka moment, designer Milton Glaser sketches “I ♥ NY” on a napkin and the logo appears on T-shirts soon after. It then becomes one of the most worn t-shirts of all time. And our most iconic!
