DipaliZ Floppy Disk Vintage Tee Retro Floppy Disk Cotton

The DipaliZ Floppy Disk Vintage Tech Tee is a short-sleeve unisex T-shirt printed with a drawn 3.5 inch floppy disk. The disk carries the letters I/O, the input-output shorthand from early computing, in place of a handwritten label. The tee is listed in five sizes from S to 2XL and in two colors, White and Natural. It is nostalgia for a storage format that held less than a single photograph does now.

The story behind this design

A floppy disk is a surprisingly good graphic object: a hard rectangle, a metal shutter, a round hub, and a white label waiting for handwriting. The drawing keeps all four and drops the shading, so the shape reads flat and iconic rather than photographic. The label is used for the I slash O mark instead of a joke, which keeps the shirt on the right side of the line between fond and twee.
