Vintage UCSC Zen Slug T Shirt – L Gray 1980s AllSport USA Meditating Graphic

Vintage University of California, Santa Cruz Zen Slug T-shirt from the 1980s, printed on an original AllSport ProWeight Made in USA blank. Features the iconic meditating banana slug character attributed to Marc Shapiro, one of the key illustrators behind early UCSC slug art. Front graphic shows the classic seated yellow slug in a relaxed pose; back hit includes the "whole body is the eye" Zen phrase in kanji, a design UCSC students widely associate with late-70s/early-80s counterculture on campus. This era predates the commercialization of the mascot and lines up with the hand-drawn aesthetic that collectors seek. True vintage single-stitch construction at sleeves/hem (note: if your shirt is double-stitch, this sentence can be removed — let me know). Soft heather gray cotton with that early AllSport weight and drape collectors prize. Size L with a relaxed vintage silhouette.
