This What Were They Thinking? tee by American Pride Apparel pays homage to one of America’s most controversial cars — the misunderstood Mustang II. The design features a vintage-style rendering of a compact 1970s muscle car, complete with the chrome bumpers, vinyl roof, and unmistakable era-correct proportions that made it both iconic and infamous.
Framed within a circular retro badge and finished with distressed textures, this design perfectly captures that blend of nostalgia and humor every car enthusiast can appreciate. Whether you love it, hate it, or just shake your head when you see one — this shirt says it all.
• 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)
• Fabric weight: 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²)
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Side-seamed construction
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping
• Blank product sourced from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US
This What Were They Thinking? shirt by American Pride Apparel mixes automotive nostalgia and tongue-in-cheek humor in classic vintage style. Perfect for car fans, mechanics, and anyone who’s ever questioned a design decision.
