80s SWAT Fly Swatter Biker Cartoon Motorcycle t-shirt Small

Length 26 in.

Content: 50/50 Cotton/Polyester

Tag Brand: Bantams

This humorous tee features a cartoon image from the early 80s, of a meter maid swatting at a biker as he leans on a parking meter. The text at the top of the graphic reads "SWAT", an acronym most often associated with police tactical units, but this shirt appears to be poking a bit of fun at law enforcement groups and their general attitudes towards motorcycle clubs and their members.

While this shirt was made in the 80s, outlaw motorcycle clubs have a rich history that can be traced back to the 1940s, when the biker subculture first emerged. Outlaw clubs are defined by any motorcycle club that isn't officially sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association, and it's only a portion of these groups that actually possess a criminal record. Despite this, biker clubs are often viewed as the troublesome enemies of law enforcement such as police, state troopers, and even meter maids. The graphic on this tee manages to illustrate the tensions between the two groups in a delightfully comical way.

The tag says medium but this shirt fits like a modern unisex adult small.
