This is a orange t-shirt of a fictional camp from a book franchise called "Percy Jackson And The Olympians" written by Rick Riordan.
The first book was published in 2005 and the latest book was published in 2023 and they were created by Rick Riordan and he created them for his son with ADHD and dyslexia after telling him Greek myths as bedtime stories before creating his own character with the same mental health conditions for his son to relate to whilst still involving Greek mythology, this character then became Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan began writing. T-Shirts were first created in the 19th Century and were used as an undershirt and associated with work overalls until 1910 where the American army began wearing them as undershirts and it became a part of the official military uniform kit. They were made into the official kit because they were more hygienic, lightweight and comfortable compared to the previous kit of woollen clothes. In the 1930s, it became part of civilian clothing whilst still being part of the military kit and then later in the 1940s, it was introduced to Europe. In 1950s, it became popular as also a sign of rebellion and masculinity thanks to Hollywood stars such as Marlon Brando and James Dean until women viewed a t-shirt as something for them to be seen in during the 1960s then by the 1970s it became a truly unisex item. T-Shirt printing didn't become easier and more accessible until the 1970s which allowed the clothing item to be very customisable and self-expressive. |
