Star Trek Bread and Circuses T-Shirt

This Bread and Circuses design comes from Star Trek: The Original Series, the 1966 show NBC cancelled after three seasons and syndication turned into a religion. Star Trek premiered on NBC in September 1966 and was cancelled after three seasons and 79 episodes. Syndication did what the network would not. Reruns built an audience large enough that NASA named its first space shuttle Enterprise after a write-in campaign, and a show that failed on first broadcast became thirteen films and more than a dozen series. Nichelle Nichols planned to quit after the first season until Martin Luther King Jr. told her that a Black woman on the bridge of a starship was worth staying for. She stayed, and spent years afterward recruiting astronauts for NASA, among them Sally Ride and Guion Bluford.

The first pilot, The Cage, starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike and was rejected as too cerebral. The Gorn suit was so stiff the stuntman could barely move, which is why the Arena fight is so slow. This one is printed on a military green unisex t-shirt in sizes S through 3XL. Sizes run deep, with plus sizes and Tall fits on the core tee, plus youth sizes.
