Vintage Beer Shirt Appraisal

Tecate Beer Brand Graphic T-Shirt

This is a vintage or retro-style graphic T-shirt featuring branding for Tecate beer. The shirt is made of a dark-colored, likely cotton or cotton-blend fabric, which appears to be charcoal grey or faded black. The material exhibits some common wear, including slight fading and minor creasing, indicative of regular use and washing. The dominant graphic on the back of the shirt is a vibrant, multi-colored design. At the top of the graphic is a representation of an Aztec calendar stone, rendered in earthy tones of brown, gold, and black, providing a textured and ancient aesthetic. Superimposed over the calendar stone, in a prominent position, is the brand name 'TECATE' in large, bold letters. The letters of 'TECATE' are colored in the green, white, and red of the Mexican flag, subtly indicating the brand's origin. Below this, centrally located, is a detailed illustration of a glass of amber-colored beer, complete with a frothy head, and the smaller 'TECATE' logo and 'T' emblem visible on the glass itself. Flanking the beer glass are stylized representations of the green and red portions of the Mexican flag, creating a 'banner' effect underneath the Aztec calendar. The overall design suggests a celebration of Mexican heritage in conjunction with the Tecate brand. The shirt is a standard short-sleeve, crew-neck cut, and appears to be size 'Medium' based on visual estimation, though no specific size tag is visible. The craftsmanship appears typical for mass-produced apparel, with standard stitching visible around the collar and sleeves. The condition suggests a pre-owned garment, with a soft, worn feel likely developed over time.
