With a new line of retro shirts, TriMet is getting fashionable—and ultra-hip.
Available through Zazzle, the shirts don't just feature old-school TriMet logos. One features an insignia for the Swan Island Commuter Express, while a line of "sector T-shirts" features images that represent several regions of Portland (the Southeast version features a Beaver, while the Northeast version features a snowflake). There's actually a reason for this: These were TriMet's sector logos from 1978 through 2001.
The shirts also represent different periods of history. In true '70s fashion, a they've got a trucker baseball cap, as well as a raglan baseball shirt with the same logo.
There's an '80s version of the baseball shirt, which looks similar to the '70s rendition, but is emblazoned with a maroon variation of the pretzel-shaped TriMet logo.
This isn't TriMet's first foray into fashion. Zazzler also sells other TriMet-themed shirts, several of which promote the MAX Orange Line. The most stylish product? A black T-shirt with a dramatic image of the Tilikum Crossing.
