The Wizard of Oz Yellow Brick Road Crewneck Sweatshirt

This Yellow Brick Road design comes from The Wizard of Oz, the 1939 film that almost nobody saw as a hit and that television then turned into the most watched movie ever made. The Wizard of Oz was released by MGM in 1939, adapted from the 1900 L. Frank Baum novel. It was an expensive production that barely recovered its costs on first release, and it became the most-seen film in history only after television began airing it annually from 1956. The ruby slippers were silver in the novel. MGM changed them to red specifically because red would show off Technicolor, which is how a costume decision became the single most recognisable prop in film history.

Judy Garland was sixteen during filming and had been cast only after MGM failed to borrow Shirley Temple from another studio. The film did not turn a real profit on release. Annual television broadcasts from 1956 onward made it, by some measures, the most-watched motion picture ever made. This one is printed on a charcoal unisex sweatshirt in sizes S through 3XL. Sizes run deep, with plus sizes and Tall fits on the core tee.
