I Want That: 1981 Wimbledon McEnroe Tee


Every now and again I'll see a sports-related tchotchke that must be mine (see: the 'Frerotte Is Fr'Real' t-shirt, see also: the Jahidi White thong). When these come into my orbit I feel a bit like the Midwestern housewife in Napoleon Dynamite who, upon hearing Uncle Rico's tupperware sales pitch complete with complimentary sailboat-in-a-bottle, stammers, "I want that" ...

I've always enjoyed good tennis and am envious of those who were around and aware enough to appreciate the McEnroe-Borg duels. (As a quick history listen: Borg successfully defended his Wimbledon crown in 1980 by beating Johnny Mac in a classic final for a fifth straight title, but the following year the American lefty exacted revenge with the first of his three Wimbledon championships). Now, thanks to the good folks at No Mas, I can at least make it look like I was there ...

That's hot. Many thanks to Unsilent Majority for the head's up and YouTube stud gogos100 for uploading much of the first set of that aforementioned classic (now give us the tiebreaker!). Follow the No Mas link to check out other colors, and hit up the No Mas blog for their other '07 spring releases.
