KKBQ-FM relaunched in 1982 with a high-energy Top 40/rock format and quickly rose to become one of the most popular stations in Houston. Its morning “zoo”-style AM drive show dominated the ratings for years, helping keep the station consistently near the top of the market. A big part of the station’s identity was its colorful mascot, the Too-Kii Bird, a cartoon character that perfectly captured KKBQ’s upbeat sound and irreverent on-air personalities. The Too-Kii Bird appeared on bumper stickers, T-shirts, and posters throughout the city, becoming a local pop-culture icon. The character even came to life at live remotes and station events, where a costumed Too-Kii Bird would mingle with fans and promote the station around Houston.
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 Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing 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, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

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. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
