KZEW 98 Dallas 1973 Vintage Kid's T-Shirt
Description For nearly two decades in Dallas, a strange, winged elephant creature could be found on car windows, billboards, and the t-shirts of self-proclaimed “Zoo Freaks.” The creature was part of the logo for Dallas radio station KZEW, a station that provided the rock ’n’ roll soundtrack for a generation of locals in the post-Woodstock ’70s. KZEW was a pioneer on the FM dial when there were few rockin’ FM stations and those that did exist played out tranquilizing music for doctors’ offices. Life at KZEW was a zoo in itself. It was kind of like the Smothers Brothers on LSD had taken over a major broadcast facility, right in the heart of the Bible Belt. The jocks let loose with a diverse blend of rock music and didn’t make use of a rigid playlist like most stations, instead opting for a blend of the popular and the obscure, allowing the DJ’s to pretty much call their own tunes. As for the news department, they downplayed usual stories about Dallas City Hall, the Texas Legislature, or business trends, and instead carried reports on Agent Orange, marijuana smugglers, and UFOs. Long story short, KZEW came out of nowhere and blew the doors off of every other station in town, but by 1989, their audience was grown up and had moved on, so couple this with new stations swiping some of their shares and the KZEW folks called it quits. Details Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Delta 11736 tees, one of the softest, best-wearing kid’s t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, this youth pro weight tee is perfect for every kid who wants a comfortable shirt to play, relax, or romp around in and our durable, high quality prints will survive many adventures. Regular fit 100% soft cotton (fibre content may vary for different colors) Light fabric (5.2 oz /yd² (176 g/m²)) Tear away label Runs slightly smaller than most Sizing Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface.
