Too Late To Dye Young T-Shirts land at TruffleShuffle!
Inspired by a whole host of proper old school treasures, retro revivalists Too Late To Dye Young are on a mission to remind us of just how good our childhood TV heroes were and we've just launched a tonne of their latest designs!
We've run down a few of our favourites below for you but check out the whole range here!
First transmitting in 1952 as part of Watch With Mother and running for 20 years on it's initial run, The Flowerpot Men has a very sentimental place in many hearts! The show featured Bill and Ben, two flowers in pots who could speak their own form of English, Oddle Poddle and move their branches like limbs. We think this amazing tee from Too Late To Dye Young is absolutely Loblob (lovely) and is a fab nostalgic find!
Show your appreciation for an Aardman classic with this Men's Shaun The Sheep tee. After appearing in the short Wallace and Gromit film, A Close Shave in 1995, he was catapulted to fame and promptly given his own TV series. We love the way this tee give the character an 80's twist with the slogan, Shaun Says Relax!
Remember the crime-fighting bat with superpowers, AKA Batfink! With his super-sonic sonar radar and metallic black wings, he was the ultimate superhero of the 1950's and 60's! This wicked tee from Too Late To Dye Young comes wiht his classic catchphrase, To The Batmobile!
Omelette du fromage, Dial M For Monkey, Major Glory, 90's cartoon classic Dexter's laboratory wasn't half good! Pay tribute to the young boy who concealed a massive laboratory in his bedroom, keeping it secret from his parents and closed to his life-ruining sister, Dee Dee with this wicked tee from Too Late To Dye Young. Featuring a shot of Dexter and the slogan âYou Push my Buttons,' you can hear that little ginger genius's voice in your head right now, can't you?
Don’t be a Mug this Christmas
It's nearly the season of cheer and good will to all men so this Christmas why don't you help give someone you love the gift of tea.
Itâs a fact that people like tea but end up having no choice but to drink it from bland old boring mugs.
What these people truly crave is to stand out from the crowd and be able to drink their favourite beverage in true retro style.
Here are some of my recommendations to help those people stuck in a bland mug world.
1. Tetris, one of the most recognisable games in gaming history, has millions of fans that will love this cool officially licensed Tetris Heat Change Mug. This stylish black mug features a snapshot of a Tetris game at the beginning of play when cold. Fill the mug with your choice of hot beverage and the face of the mug immediately changes to show the game in a much more advanced state of play. AWESOME!!!
2. Can you believe it, it's the 30th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube this year and what better way to celebrate than with this wickedly retro mug inspired of course by the fabulous toy! An awesomely old school find, this little treat is sure to bring back all those memories of frustration, joy and wonderment with every sip!
