Rare Vintage 1991 Zooport Riot Gear "Charlie Don't Surf" Charles Manson Tee Product Description: This is an exceptionally rare and striking vintage t-shirt from 1991 by Zooport Riot Gear. The front features a bold, iconic black and white graphic of Charles Manson's face framed within a square. The back of the shirt prominently displays the controversial and famous phrase "CHARLIE DON'T SURF" in distressed white lettering, along with the "Zooport Riot Gear" logo. This tee is a significant piece of counter-culture and vintage apparel history. Made from what feels like sturdy, classic 100% cotton. Why This Shirt Was Made: This shirt, produced by "Zooport Riot Gear" in 1991, likely draws on the counter-culture and rebellious themes often associated with the phrase "Charlie Don't Surf" (popularized by the film Apocalypse Now, though recontextualized here with Charles Manson) and the notorious figure of Charles Manson. These types of controversial graphics were common in certain niches of alternative and underground fashion, aiming to provoke thought, challenge norms, or simply reflect a dark aesthetic popular at the time. It's a statement piece from a specific moment in pop culture history. Condition Details: This vintage 1991 Zooport Riot Gear t-shirt is in good, pre-owned condition, especially given its age. There are no significant rips, tears, or major holes. The black fabric retains its color well with typical, even fading for a vintage piece, contributing to its authentic look. Both the front graphic and the back print are largely intact, showing some natural cracking and distress, which is characteristic of genuine vintage prints and adds to its character. Please examine all provided photos closely for the most accurate depiction of its condition.
