Queens Unisphere Tee
$35.00
Celebrate the heart of Queens with this high-energy graphic tee featuring the Unisphere, the legendary stainless-steel globe from the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The design blends historic architecture with a gritty, modern street-art finish, capturing a borough that is both a global crossroads and a creative powerhouse.
The Unisphere has stood over Flushing Meadows since 1964, a landmark that belongs to Queens like no other. This Queens NYC t-shirt puts that icon front and center for people who know the borough and grew up riding the 7 train.
The design:
- The icon: The Unisphere in a vintage halftone dot pattern, with a retro-print feel that nods to 1960s newspapers and comic books. The orbital rings sweep across the design for a sense of movement and Space Age optimism.
- The "Queens" stencil: A heavy, industrial stencil font punches through the center in black, slightly distressed like shipping crates or urban infrastructure.
- The spray-paint layer: A neon-orange spray-paint blast with splatters and drips backs the text, and a magenta-pink drip cuts through the "S" for sharp contrast.
- The NYC palette: Blue, white and orange from the New York City flag, reinterpreted through a bold streetwear lens.
Printed on 100% soft cotton with a unisex fit. Designed in Long Island City, Queens.
