The Knits

A comprehensive resource of defunct t-shirt labels manufactured prior to the year 2000.


Brand #6: The Knits

Circulation: Common

Era: Late 1970s to mid 1980s

 

Information: The Knits was a specialty t-shirt with longer, colored sleeves sometimes detailed with raised fabric and often  described as a baseball or concert jersey. To my knowledge this company did not manufacture standard blank t-shirts. The earliest dated The Knits printed shirt I have found is from 1979 and have yet to find one with a print dated beyond 1983. Based on one of the incarnations of the tag (right) I’m assuming The Knits was a Screen Stars line extension.

    I have a 1978 dated Knits shirt at home. It’s had a picture of an old boat on the sea with the sunset and the caption “Ancient Hawaii” it has the second tag.

    I’ve also seen a 1976 Mountain Music jersey with the same tag.
