Wear the Archive · Unisex Organic Ribbed Tee · After Martin Kristev 'The Rocket' – Moscow Olympics 1980

Five rings. Five donuts. One year that changed everything.

The print on this tee is drawn from Martin Kristev's award-winning 1980 Moscow Olympics poster — a design that transformed the official Games emblem into a rocket taking flight, with five vivid Olympic rings arranged like a countdown beneath the exhaust plume. We've reinterpreted that motif: five rings, five donuts, 1980 — a quiet, knowing nod to the year, the event, and the era.

Made for those born in 1980, shaped by it, or simply drawn to the graphic language of a moment when sport, politics, and space-age ambition collided on a single poster.
