Melbourne Man T-shirt
With skis, golf clubs, a tennis racquet on one side, and a hat box and beach umbrella on the other, Melbourne Man wasn’t just the unofficial mascot of the 1956 Olympic Games—he was the original over-packer.
Part of a promotional campaign for Australia’s first-ever Olympics, this cheerful everyman welcomed the world to Melbourne with a wink and a suitcase full of good intentions. Equal parts athlete, tourist, and walking baggage claim, he represents that golden age of travel when your carry-on included both sporting equipment and formalwear.
This tee features a faithfully restored version of the classic 1956 graphic, printed on our soft, lightweight (4.2 oz) combed ring-spun cotton. It’s breathable, comfy, and well-suited to both summer games and winter escapes—just maybe skip the skis if you’re headed to St Kilda.
Regular fit. Unisex sizing. No visa required.
