I got this today at a vintage shirt sale and tried doing a quick google search of Mr. Wuf on steroids and got nada. The guy who was selling the shirts said the tag style looks like it could be from the late 70s or early 80s...

Any ideas?

5/29/2011 2:12:46 PM

lol good lord i ain't ever seen that

5/29/2011 2:13:49 PM

My dad has a shirt like that...he graduated in 83...so maybe around that time?

5/29/2011 2:14:29 PM

he has chicken legs

5/29/2011 2:14:59 PM

Ahaha whoa that owns

5/29/2011 2:15:06 PM

how about you share where people can get this shirt

5/29/2011 2:18:05 PM

Birmingham it was the only one

I got it for my boo I think he'll like it


I saw it and was like AHHHHHH WTF IS THIS


Sweet, thanks sawahash that makes it even better. I figured it had to be around the championship... maybe that's why they made Mr. Wuf so beastly? Like, post win?

[Edited on May 29, 2011 at 2:27 PM. Reason : wait, I just noticed he's wearing football pants.. hmm]

5/29/2011 2:25:32 PM

Well that STINKS

5/29/2011 2:26:01 PM

I also got a pretty sweet original D.A.R.E. shirt

5/29/2011 2:26:50 PM

where did you find that? I'd like to have one for a gym shirt.

5/29/2011 2:42:51 PM

I bet its an old weightlifting or wrestling team shirt or something

5/29/2011 2:45:24 PM

My dad went to NCSU in the 70s. I don't know about all those muscles, but the face is definitely vintage strutting wolf Tuffy. Before they made Mr. Wuf "kid friendly."

5/29/2011 2:46:16 PM

^ do you think you could show him and see if he knows what year?

5/29/2011 3:04:19 PM

yeah that is definitely Tuffy, not Mr. Wuf, but unfortunately I have no added info to give you.

5/29/2011 3:06:03 PM

:Samwise comes walking along and sees a Mr Wuf shirt:

Samwise: "Hey, what's this?!"
Guy Selling Shirt: "I dunno, what is it?"
Samwise: "This shirt with Mr. Wuf on steriods. How old is it?"
Guy Selling Shirt: "Hmm. It looks to be a tag style from the late 70s or early 80s"
Samwise: "Oh."
Guy Selling Shirt: "That's the only one we have."
Samwise: "OH SHIT! I'll take it. My boo will LUV it!!"
Guy Selling Shirt: "Thank you! Come again!

:samwise exits store:
:Guy Selling Shirt pulls another Mr Wuf on steroids shirt from behind the counter and places it on display:

5/29/2011 3:06:25 PM

are there any dates on the tag?

5/29/2011 3:45:13 PM

^2


It was a vintage t-shirt show/sale. He didn't even know Mr. Wuf, and I was going to buy it anyways. The way he could pick the time frame via the tag was a) the company, b) it says "Made in U.S.A.", and c) the font they used.



Get a life, broseph.



^Nah... nothing that I can find. I even looked on the inside for one of those inspector tags just in case


PP, I thought Tuffy was Mr. Wuf? I googled and found the strutting wolf is Tuffy... whoops you learn something new every day

do you have google goggles on your phone? It's a free app, and may be helpful in this situation.

5/29/2011 3:55:51 PM

tuffy = logo

mr wuf = dude in wolf costume

5/29/2011 3:56:09 PM

^2 oooooo good call

^ yeah now I feel silly... I never paid attention to that fact I guess.

Still a good find though

5/29/2011 4:01:39 PM

my dad still has a sweet 3-d wall plaque of that tuffy's face. he graduated in 83 or 84. tuffy seems to be wearing some wrestling pants in this shirt

5/29/2011 4:01:53 PM

I've never seen that wolf before.

5/29/2011 4:02:25 PM

ah the wrestling pants make more sense - I thought they were football pants

I wonder if bmel's dad would know..

5/29/2011 4:04:39 PM

Are those wrestling cleats?

5/29/2011 4:05:45 PM

Roids

5/29/2011 4:08:01 PM

did they wrastle on turf?

derp

5/29/2011 4:20:57 PM

That's his wolf feet busting through his shoes

5/29/2011 4:26:41 PM

hahahahaha good point they are in fact cleats


mystery solved..

5/29/2011 4:27:02 PM

I dunno about the cleats, but those look like football pants.

Apparently some think they look like wrestling pants, too.

5/29/2011 5:21:53 PM

wrestling pants? if it was for wrestling, I'm 100% certain they would have gone with a singlet... not some WWE style pants.

5/29/2011 5:51:58 PM

They'd put those goofy looking ear protectors on his head, too, if it were wrestling

5/29/2011 6:09:17 PM

i wonder if it was weight training for football

5/29/2011 7:12:21 PM

I want this shirt.

5/29/2011 7:35:46 PM

i bet that particular tuffy's testicles are a shriveled mess.

5/29/2011 8:03:55 PM

what size?

Can we start the bidding?

5/29/2011 8:07:40 PM

he must be compensating for his tiny dick

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

5/29/2011 8:16:16 PM

Sorry, it's a gift for someone :-P

Now I'm wondering how much money I could make of it though I only paid $20

5/29/2011 10:02:13 PM

I've never seen that before.

5/29/2011 10:27:10 PM

i'll give you $5

5/29/2011 10:32:15 PM

$20 for a T-shirt.....great deal!

5/29/2011 10:35:34 PM

Considering he was charging $60 for old Harley davidson shirts, it was a deal :-P

5/29/2011 11:58:23 PM

My dad said he has never seen that shirt before

5/30/2011 12:17:25 AM

I've never heard of a vintage shirt sale before. Is it just a convention of sorts that sets up at the fairgrounds?

8/25/2011 11:28:54 AM

you moved the pic

8/25/2011 2:31:50 PM

This was in Birmingham at a local restaurant

^

8/25/2011 10:41:24 PM

When did Tuffy start working out at Gold's Gym?

8/25/2011 10:54:18 PM

^^ I think you should send a picture to http://web.ncsu.edu/trademarks/ and ask them for the details behind it.

8/26/2011 9:10:25 AM

Oh good call!! Thanks
