Released by Exidy in 1976, Death Race was an early arcade driving game that became infamous for its gleefully macabre premise. Loosely inspired by the 1975 cult film Death Race 2000, the game put players behind the wheel of crude on-screen cars and challenged them to run down fleeing humanoid figures known as “gremlins,” which let out a shriek before being replaced by tombstones. The stark black-and-white graphics were primitive even by late-1970s standards, but the violent concept generated considerable controversy and sensational press coverage. That notoriety helped make Death Race one of the earliest video games to spark a public debate over violence in electronic entertainment, giving the relatively simple arcade machine an outsized place in video game history.
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.
