1989 | Sportswear | HBBC Junior Camp “Quacks Me Up!” T-Shirt - XXS

Description:

Item: Single-sided printed cotton T-shirt in deep maroon, produced for the HBBC Junior Camp 1989. Features a playful cartoon duck graphic with bold yellow typography reading “Quacks Me Up!”. Lightweight cotton with a soft handle, typical of late-1980s camp and youth programme event shirts.

Era: Late 1980s

Brand: Sportswear

Condition: Good vintage condition with light, even wear throughout. Fabric has softened naturally with age, with gentle fading to the print consistent with use. No holes, repairs, or structural issues. Honest wear that adds to the charm of the piece.

Provenance Note: Camp T-shirts like this were made for a specific group, worn repeatedly over a short period, and rarely kept long-term. This example survives as a snapshot of late-1980s youth culture, informal, graphic-led, and unapologetically playful. Its appeal lies in that specificity: a fleeting summer moment preserved in cotton, worn in rather than saved.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
