The story · 1991

The story of Sweaty Handprint Tee

The color-change tee was the coolest shirt ever until you got nervous. A hug left glowing handprints, a hot day left obvious patches, and leaning on a cold desk left a perfect outline of your arms. Kids pressed their palms on their own sleeves just to see the prints appear. Everyone remembers the one dryer that ruined it forever.

Fun fact

Holding an ice cube against the shirt made it change color so fast that it looked like magic.
