AWA Wrestling Shirt From 1984
Written by John on August 23, 2008 – 12:44 am -Well it turns out the wrestling shirt I blogged from the AWA is actually a real shirt from the AWA from 1984.
How do I know? Well, I found this:
What Is The Oldest Wrestling Shirt?
Written by John on August 17, 2008 – 9:46 pm -I came across this wrestling shirt on ebay as I was browsing.
It’s from the AWA and supposedly it’s from 1984, which I think is really cool.
I like the fact it’s a long sleeve wrestling shirt which makes it even rarer. I’m really into long sleeve wrestling shirts at the moment. I love the fact that the wrestlers faces are crudelly placed on the sleeves. (This was 1984 and the AWA, they didn’t have that much money)
That got me thinking though. What is the oldest professional wrestling shirt ever made? I’m guessing there has to be some from the 1970’s. Possibly Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes or Superstar Billy Graham. Are there any earlier than that I wonder?
I know merchandise wasn’t really mainstream until Vince McMahon made the then WWF global in the 1980’s, but there has to be someone who sold a few shirts to make some extra cash.
Time for a bit of investigating I think…
Until next time,
This has been John, getting counted out…
