New Slinky T-Shirts Revitalize Time Honored Brand With Authentic Retro Feel
Cult Classic T-shirt Company Teams With Slinky For Pop Culture Celebration. The Slinky T-Shirts Are Back!
Arlington, VA (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 -- Funny T-shirt icon CultClassicTs.com announced today its new deal with Slinky, the release of Slinky brand t-shirts that capture the classic energy of the brand. The T-shirts, now available for purchase on their web site, boast the classic design and retro look that has not only made Slinky one of the most popular toys on the market, but also a timeless pop-culture staple with unparalleled brand recognition.
"If you had one as a kid or just love those commercials, Slinky is part of our cultural landscape that still resonates in the public consciousness," says J Hines proprietor of CultClassicTs.com, the highly successful Internet commerce site. "It's just exciting to be a part of something so huge--something that everyone remembers and relates to," Hines says.
A cultural centerpiece for seven decades, Slinky still remains a powerhouse brand that appeals to all ages and personalities. Brought to market in 1945, by Richard James, over three hundred million Slinkys have been sold worldwide. Inspired by an experiment with tension springs, the concept has evolved into something much more than a child's toy; it has even been used by soldiers in Vietnam as an antenna or as a therapy tool for coordination development.
Still made in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania with the original equipment Richard James created, the PA State Toy has appeared on TV and even in films, such as "Ace Ventura- When Nature Calls," "Demolition Man," "Other People's Money," and "Hairspray". The shirt itself was also recently seen in "Juno."
"Slinky is a classic and we find that the people who wear our shirts are really looking to make a statement about the brands they love, " Hines says. "The Slinky shirts really connect people to the pop culture they call home."
Hines started CultClassicTs.com in response to the large demand he found for popular culture themes that trigger conversation and community interaction.
"Whether it's a design inspired by a popular film line or a playful brand logo and tag line, pop culture ideas seem to live on for longer than their moments in the spotlight," Hines says. "These ideas seem to connect people much like an inside joke that makes you feel included."
Understanding this powerful connection, Hines found a way to capitalize on this emotional resonance with clever T-shirts and accessories. "Our products are touchstones that take people back to the moments they cherish whether that's pop culture memorabilia or current political t-shirts. While its easy to dismiss trends as ideas that are here today gone tomorrow, some simply stand the test of time," Hines says. "And the bottom line still clearly shows that everyone loves a Slinky."
