The Last Of Oldscool BMX

triceratops-skull

Remember Olscool BMX that Hal Brindley and Leigh Ramsdell launched last year? Well, the limited runs of those iconic t-shirts that they revived are running short and they will be closing shop once all of the shirts are gone! If you’re trying to get your hands on any of the shirts, now is the time because they’re all on sale now! Check out what they still have RIGHT HERE!

“The end is near. Last year Leigh and I decided to launch a kickstarter project to print some limited edition reproductions of classic 90’s BMX tee shirt designs from 2B Homecooked Garments, PLAY Clothes, and Useless. You, the supporters, voted for the favorite shirts. Silly videos were made, tee shirts were printed, and fun was had by all. We even threw a couple classic hats into the mix along with bowling shirts, flannels and sweat shirts. But all good things must come to an end.

Now it’s time to close the vaults for good (or maybe until another 20 years has passed). The very last of the Oldscool BMX reproductions are now available for sale on our Etsy shop. Various sizes are disappearing quickly so check the availability chart on the front page of the Oldscool BMX website and then head over to our store and get yours before they’re all gone.

Ready to own your piece of history? See what’s left at the Oldscool BMX shop now.”
