What Was Your Go-To Design?
Remember when you could stroll past a booth at the fair and pick out the perfect design to iron onto your favorite T-shirt?

These are iron-on T-shirt decals, a huge hit in the 1970s and ’80s. You could buy them at fairs, flea markets, or mall kiosks, choose your favorite image, and watch as a hot press transferred it right onto your shirt. For many, it was the easiest way to wear your favorite band, brand, or bold design without buying a whole new tee. Did you have a favorite decal—or maybe still have a shirt hiding in the back of your closet? Tell us about it in the comments!
