Vintage 1980s NASA "Volleyball Team" T-Shirt - S
Before they were sending rovers to Mars, it seems some of NASA's finest were spiking volleyballs in an intramural league. This shirt is a fantastic and rare glimpse into the off-duty culture of the world's most famous space agency during the 1980s. The classic purple collegiate font on the front screams vintage athletic wear, while the bold number '49' on the back gives it an authentic team jersey feel. It’s a beautifully esoteric piece that imagines rocket scientists and engineers trading their lab coats for kneepads. This isn't just a shirt; it's a forgotten chapter of space-age recreation.
The Faded Vibes Sizing Chart
Now that you have your measurements, here’s how we translate the pit-to-pit number into the modern sizes you see on our product pages.
Find Your Fit
Vintage sizing is all over the place. A "Large" from the 80s fits way different than one from today, and years of washing and wearing can change a shirt's shape. That's why we ignore the original tag and hand-measure every single shirt we sell.
Want to be sure? The best way is to compare our measurements to a favorite t-shirt you already own. Our Vintage T-Shirt Sizing Guide shows you exactly how.
