Ringer T-shirt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Ringer T-shirt is a T-shirt in which the shirt itself is one color, but the collar and the end of the sleeves are of a different color, usually a completely contrasting color.
Traditionally, the most common ringer colors were white with black rings. The Ringer was introduced in the United States in the mid-1960s and gained popularity in the late 1960s, especially among youth and the rock-and-roll subculture.
The Ringer grew in popularity even more as the 1970s began and remained popular throughout that decade. But in the 1980s, other fashions eclipsed the ringer T-shirt.
In the early 2000s, Ringer T-shirts experienced a resurgance of popularity, mostly among teens, and remained popular at least through the mid-2000s, albeit at a reduced level from their 1970s heyday.
