Tap Into Your Own Superhero With Junk Food’s New Wonder Woman Collection

To coincide with the release of the Gal Gadot-helmed Wonder Woman blockbuster, which will hit theaters June 2nd, Junk Food unveiled a new capsule collection of T-shirts and tanks featuring vintage logos and graphics. These retro tops range from $42 to $55 and are currently available at Revolve.com, Nordstrom.com, and Macy’s stores.

Among the standout pieces is a charming white T-shirt featuring the words “Wonder Woman”emblazoned  in retro-flavored red letters with exaggerated curves and flourishes, then further adorned by illustrated beams of light extending from the bottom ridge of the word “Woman” down to a flying “W” positioned atop an outline of the United States. The stylized letters immediately conjure up images of the ’70s, when similar fonts were employed to adorn the posters of shows like Diff’rent Strokes and Good Times, as well as the album covers of musicians like Boston and James Brown. The font immediately reminds me of Blaxploitation movie posters — think Foxy Brown — while the usage of the light beam motif calls to mind the logo used for the Wonder Woman series starring Linda Carter.

Another great piece is a slouchy dark gray tee that showcases the yellow-and-red Wonder Woman logo trademarked by DC Comics back in 1985 (and later appropriated by Whataburger), positioned directly below a box with the words “Wonder Woman” printed in the same lettering style that Dick Giordano introduced when  illustrating a 1983 comic book title. Foiled stars add a touch of sparkle to the design.

The two tanks, meanwhile, again place the “flying Ws” logo front and center, with a slate blue number incorporating fiery orange and aquatic blue tones to the white letters and thereby creating a Fire and Ice motif, and the black muscle tank incorporating gradient golden lettering and starry designs to convey the idea of outer space and of flying at high speeds.

All four pieces were crafted using intentionally distressed fabrics, so as to give the pieces a lived-in feel. After all, Wonder Woman isn’t afraid to get a little dirty in the pursuit of justice!
