In 1996 Starbucks celebrated its 25th anniversary in the coffee business. At this point the brand still used real espresso machines; they had only recently acquired the Frappuccino from @ghowellcoffee (where it was invented by barista Andrew Frank). This was an era of tie dye revival and big time 70s nostalgia, seen in films like Pulp Fiction (94) to Boogie Nights (97) to That 70s Show (98) and heard in the endless sampling of 60s and 70s soul records reimagined by hip hop artists from Wu Tang Clan to Snoop Dogg to Ice Cube to A Tribe Called Quest. .
.
Nostalgia for the 90s is at least in some ways a nostalgia for the 70s. There is of course some irony in us, Sprudge, long time pokers of fun at all things mermaid, selling a 1996 Starbucks t-shirt in our vintage shop, presenting clothes like this in a third wave context when so much of third wave grew as an explicit rejection of a Starbucks on every street corner. Irony is v 90s. Our co-founder’s first coffee job was at a suburban Starbucks just a few years removed from the creation of this shirt.

This authentic 1996 Starbucks 25th Anniversary shirt is tagged L but fits L / XL (24 inch chest) printed on Tultex. We think the idea of today’s coffee lover / obsessive / professional wearing vintage Starbucks is delicious and we hope you agree.
