KD-0082 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I freaking love this messenger bag. My fiancee has one since the day we known each other, and I always wanted one too. Just bought it recently for carrying stuff and computers. Also, I like memorabilia like keychains and so 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is from the 80s and it is in the Netherlands. Don't know how it got there or if it is official. I have a hard time thinking someone made this in the 80s as an unauthorized atari item. I was hoping someone around here has any ideas??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 There is surprisingly little about it on the net. I did find this: https://gamesniped.com/2010/12/09/vintage-atari-butane-lighter/ I bet that Brad at Best has a whole pallet full of them in his warehouse though and he probably doesn't even know it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say I've seen this before, but dunno, after all those times of wearing gym uniforms this would have made it a bit more bearable... till I was clobbered for being a dork. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and theAtari Racquetball shirt are badass! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an authentic promo item, although the logo is a bit odd, but anything is possible (it was the eighties, afterall). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP415 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Hello, I have been a long time Lucasfilm/ILM cast and crew t-shirt collector and recently ventured into collecting the Atari crew shirts/clothing. This shirt is my current favorite Atari item. I bought this from a local estate sale (of an ex-Atari employee) here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Does anyone know when this Atari/Alfred E. Neuman design was first used? Thanks in advance for any information. Best Steve Edited February 1, 2021 by SP415 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I want that shirt!! Love Mad Magazine and Atari. Ok, another thing I like is Moon Patrol. Wouldn't say I am the biggest fan, but it did have an impact on my childhood. So imagine how happy I was when I ran across a hotwheel moon buggy looks amazingly like the one in Moon Patrol. Thought I would share that today... This apparently was the Radar Ranger in 1988, which is seven years after Moon Patrol. I guess they were a fan too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see people wearing these all the time, but gave up asking people about Atari as it seems like it, with so many, "Just something retro and a cool shirt". Same here. I find a lot of people wearing them have never touched an Atari in their life. I had a guy ask me about my Atari shirt when I was at the mechanic a few months ago. Showed him a picture of my collection and he told me about having a 2600 when he was a kid. Turns out he lives right down the road and has come over a few times (before the pandemic) and we had a few Atari, pizza, and beer evenings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldLeader Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Straight up Unofficial. I bought an "Atari" clock off eBay many years ago. And I remember clearly the auction said, "This is not some junk, This is a high quality Promo Item!", so I knew it was gonna be junk. Remember when some eBay auctions would outright lie like that? I think the guy just bought the cheapest POS clock possible, probably from Wal Mart or something and made a laminated sticker with an Atari logo on it. But it was cheap. It served its purpose as a clock in my Atari room for many years and quit working when it became impossible to change the batteries without the sticker needing repositioned and the hands getting bent and tangled up in one another...Every once in a while I waste a bunch of time and get it working again, but I'm not sure if that's still possible now... Here it is looking more sinister with lighting underneath... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I don't have anything super cool from the original era, but I'd say my personal favorite Atari merch is actually that Atari Hot Wheels Collector's Edition set that came out a decade or so ago. I have two complete sets, one opened and one sealed, and I have really had a lot of fun with it, including just letting my kid play with the cars he loves. The attention to detail and quality of build is particularly nice for a Hot Wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
