Johnny Cupcakes 20th Anniversary Vintage Collection T-Shirts

It’s hard to believe that Johnny Cupcakes, one of The Blot’s favorite indie brands, is celebrating its 20th anniversary!  To celebrate this huge milestone, JC is rebaking some of their favorite (and their customer’s favorite) designs throughout 2021.  While most releases this year will have a special 20 year emblem printed on the back or sleeve, these occasional vintage JC t-shirts will also have this “VINTAGE RECIPE” hem print along with a “rebaked date”.  These small, clean details not only commemorate this epic journey Johnny Cupcakes has been on, but it also separates these rebakes from the original releases.

To kick off the 20 Years of Johnny Cupcakes Celebration, JC has released 3 vintage favorites: the Nintendo inspired “Powermitt 2.0”, the Hook homage “Capn Cook 2.0”, and the Karate Kid “Cobra Kakes 2.0”.  Johnny Cupcakes brought back some heavy hitters with these three pop culture homages!  What classic JC tees are you hoping are rereleased this year!?!

All three Johnny Cupcakes 20th Anniversary Vintage Collection T-Shirts seen here are available now at JohnnyCupcakes.com in mens and womens styles, sizes S-5XL, for $39.99 each.

Nintendo Power Glove “Power Shaka” T-Shirt by Lightsleepers

Lightlseepers has released a new design in its killer pop culture inspired Shaka T-Shirt Series with the Nintendo Power Glove inspired “Power Shaka”! Before the Wii or Kinect, there was the original Nintendo Entertainment System and its critically panned but universally loved Power Glove accessory. While the Power Glove never caught on with fans, it’ll forever be remembered for its appearance in the cult classic movie The Wizard. As The Wizard antagonist antagonist Lucas Barton says “I love the Power Glove. It’s so bad!”

The Nintendo Power Glove “Power Shaka” T-Shirt is printed on a black tee, and is currently available for pre-order at the Lightsleepers online store in sizes S-3XL for just $30.

Johnny Cupcakes x The Wizard Power Mitt T-Shirt

Johnny Cupcakes rocked the 80’s nostalgia once against last Saturday night by hosting a screening of The Wizard at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston. (link) When The Blot was younger I was absolutely mesmerized by the Nintendo/video game inspired 1989 movie The Wizard starring Fred Savage. I am pretty sure every kid I knew back then wanted, no needed a Nintendo Power Glove controller after seeing the movie. To be honest, I even still have mine, although it doesnt quite fit right anymore.


To coincide with the screening of The Wizard, JC created some limited edition, numbered posters and debuted his upcoming Johnny Cupcakes Power Mitt t-shirts (see below). I’ve gotta get my hands one of these awesome Nintendo inspired shirts!
