Clown Brand Firecrackers T-Shirt — Vintage 4th of July Fireworks Art | The Faded Label Co.

Nobody told the clown the firecrackers were live. Clown Brand Superfine Flashlight Fire Crackers — produced by Wah Luen Hong in China — is one of the most beloved vintage fireworks package designs in American collecting history. The hapless clown mid-explosion, polka dot pants, chaos flying in every direction against that bold teal background. Pure mid-century illustration gold, now on your shirt.

Printed on a premium Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed heavyweight tee — 6.1oz, relaxed fit, soft vintage wash finish that looks like it's been in your collection for years. Unisex sizing, true to size. DTG printed, machine washable cold, tumble dry low.

Clown Brand firecrackers were a staple of the American Fourth of July throughout the mid-20th century — sold at roadside stands, corner stores, and fireworks tents across the country. The packaging artwork was designed to catch a kid's eye and it worked. The clown getting blown up by his own product is either the best or the worst advertising in history, and either way it's unforgettable.

The perfect gift for vintage fireworks collectors, Fourth of July enthusiasts, lovers of mid-century American illustration art, anyone celebrating America's 250th birthday, and everyone who appreciates a good clown-gets-blown-up story.

The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American art alive, one product at a time.
